This new system allows the airbags to deploy effectively upon a secondary impact by calibrating the status of the vehicle and the occupants.
As per Hyundai the currently available systems, do not offer secondary protection in the event where the primary impact, which might be enough to deploy the airbags, is followed by collisions with secondary objects, such as trees, electrical posts or other vehicles. And such cases are claimed to occur in 3 out of every 10 accidents.
The system detects the occupant position in the cabin following an initial collision and is designed to deploy even faster when initial safety systems may not be effective. The company has recalibrated the collision intensity required for deployment in such a manner that the system deploys airbags more promptly during the secondary impact. The company says that it has analysed multi-collision scenarios in multilateral ways to improve airbag performance and precision in secondary collisions.
