Designed to allow steering and simultaneous braking without losing vehicle balance.

Noise or Vibration

Traction Control Systems Basically the

reverse of anti-lock brakes.

Designed to activate brake sensors, which do not allow the wheels to spin.

The device allows acceleration input without loss of vehicle balance.

Crumple ZonesCrumple Zones Areas of a vehicle that are designed to

deform and crumple in a collision. This absorbs some of the energy of the

impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants.

Crumple Zone Video

Crashes have two separate collisions: The first is the vehicle collision,

and the second is the collision of occupants and unsecured items inside the vehicle.

It is this second collision that often causes injury and death.
