Protection devices for improving passive safety of automobiles

We have developed protection devices certified by patents [1], [2], [3], [4] of the Russian Federation, for sideway protection of an automobile: front, rear and on both sides in an accident crash. Compared with known devices [5], [6], [7], the suggested protection devices can be installed into all home-produced and foreign automobiles. The devices possess high dissipative ability at damping frontal and lateral crash impact. Provided that the automobile has good contact performances, these protection devices are able to dissipate approximately 80-100% of kinetic energy of a frontal impact in a front crash-test of a 130-150kg automobile.
