| 摘要 |
A vehicle impact force limiting system including at least one gas generator attached to a vehicle and adapted to generate or produce gas and to discharge a flow of gas forward in a lengthwise direction of the vehicle into an atmosphere when the gas generator is activated or actuated during a vehicle frontal collision or a rear-impact crash. The gas flow is adapted to generate or produce a force of reaction, applied to the vehicle and directed backward in an opposite direction to driving and to inertial forces of the vehicle, thereby reducing the driving and inertial forces and the impact of the vehicle. The reduced impact force reduces damage to the vehicle and injury to occupants of the vehicle. In an emergency or before a vehicle collision, the system allows the vehicle occupant to activate or actuate the gas generator to slow down or stop the vehicle.
