ADVANCED COLLISION MITIGATE SAFETY SYSTEM (acmss)

AIRBAGS

Airbags that deploy from underneath and in front of the car will help to stop a vehicle before a crash. The airbags are part of the overall active safety system and deploy when sensors determine that an impact is inevitable. The airbag safety system is continuously monitored by proximity sensors positioned in front and at the back of the concerned vehicle. The sensors are so aligned to detect the location from where an impact is inevitable. The sensor passes on the signal to the Electronic control system which triggers the airbags deploy system at the concerned location.

The bags underneath have a friction coating or is made up of a material with high coefficient of friction that helps slow the car down and can double the stopping power of the vehicle. The bags also lift the vehicle up, which counters the cars dipping / pitching motion during hard braking, improves bumper-tobumper contact, and helps prevent passengers from sliding under seatbelts during a collision.
