Increasing the Safety of the Car

Abstract

Road safety has improved significantly in recent years thanks to effective action taken at European and national level with changes in legislation related to improving driver and road training. As a result, EU roads are some of the safest in the world. The EU has introduced mandatory fitment of electronic stability control systems on all vehicles and advanced emergency braking and lane departure warning systems, contributing to a reduction in fatalities. Modern active safety technologies are increasingly being implemented in vehicles. The purpose of this report is to present a complex of systems, their functionality, benefit and significance for increasing road safety.
