Accessories and Passive Restraint Systems in Automobiles

This book gives an overview of accessories and passive restraint systems in automobiles. Various safety features and their evolution such as airbag technology and air braking systems are also discussed in detail. The accuracy of drive-by-wire systems, combined with the real-time data processing of ADAS, enables features like collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance to function with exceptional precision. This integration has minimized human error, a major cause of accidents, introducing proactive safety measures that swiftly respond to potential hazards. Automotive vehicles have air braking systems to regulate their speed and stability. To slow down the car, this technology applies the brakes using compressed air. This book also explores the transformative potential of hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs) in revolutionizing the transportation sector amidst global challenges such as climate change, air pollution, and diminishing fossil fuel reserves. The imperative for sustainable and efficient transportation solutions has become evident. Hydrogen fuel cell technology emerges as a promising alternative, providing a clean and renewable energy source.
