Pre-crash deceleration system for moving object has element that comes into contact with opposing object, fills distance between object, opposing object, deforms in defined manner to decelerate object

摘要

The system has at least one variably shaped element (1) on the object (2) exterior and a sensor that detects a potential crash with an opposing object and triggers and unfolds the variably shaped element before an impending crash. The element comes into contact with the opposing object and fills the distance between the object and the opposing object, deforms in a defined manner and causes a controllable increased deceleration of the object.
