DOI: DYNAMIC SIMULATION OF AN ACTIVE FRONT BUMPER SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED FRONTAL IMPACT PROTECTION
Yusuf Mohammad Nasir , Shell International Exploration and Production (SIEP), the NetherlandsAbstract
This research paper presents a dynamic simulation approach to investigate the effectiveness of an active front bumper system for enhancing frontal impact protection in vehicles. Frontal collisions remain a significant concern for road safety, and innovative solutions are sought to mitigate their impact. The study involves developing a sophisticated simulation model that captures the interactions between the active front bumper, vehicle structure, and collision dynamics. Through numerical simulations and analysis, the performance of the active bumper system is evaluated in terms of collision energy absorption, occupant safety, and vehicle structural integrity. The insights gained from this research contribute to advancing vehicle safety technologies and designing proactive measures to reduce the severity of frontal impacts.
