Abstract:

The aim of this study was to determine the significance of the influence of cars safety systems design features on the nature and mechanism of the injury formation, as well as an analysis of the degree of knowledge of this issue. In order to achieve this goal, authors analyzed special literature related to the study of car injury and studied the literature of XX century and the latest research results presented in modern scientific articles and dissertations. This article includes classification of active and passive safety features in modern cars and the statistics of road accidents at the present time. Understudied aspects of car injury were identified. Authors made the conclusion, that it is necessary to develop new methods of determination of passengers and the driver position inside the car cabin during frontal, side collisions and overturning of the vehicle.
