چکیده
The development of an advanced safety vehicle (ASV) has primary importance for automobile manufactures and customers. The safety measures of modern vehicles involve active and passive safety. Active safety devices provide the driver with warning signals or aaect the vehicle's motion in order to prevent an accident. Passive safety devices help to avoid injuires and post-collision hazards if an accident occurs. The main features of the ASV concept are illustrated by state-of-the-art examples, the development trends are discussed.
