The automotive industry is developing integrated safety systems that combine pre-crash sensing, vehicle dynamics control (braking, steering) and active restraint systems (seat, belt, airbag) with the objective to be able to meet the challenging traffic injury reduction targets set by various governments cost-effectively. Integrated safety systems need to function properly in a vast amount of different traffic scenarios. This makes the development process of integrated safety systems a complicated and time-consuming activity. Simulation software can help to overcome these difficulties by providing an efficient and safe environment for designing and evaluating integrated safety systems. This paper outlines the use of two complementary software packages that together provide the ability to cover all critical aspects of integrated safety design. One of the software packages focuses on the design of the sensing and control systems, as well as the evaluation of these systems for a range of different traffic scenarios. The other software package takes care of the vehicle dynamics and crashworthiness, restraint system, and occupant response. By means of an application example, the combined use of these software packages to design and evaluate integrated safety systems in a quick, cost-effective and safe way is demonstrated.
