Integral vehicle safety combines active vehicle safety (measures to prevent accidents) and passive vehicle safety (measures to mitigate the consequences of accidents) and has long been an integral part of automotive development.
In the early stages of this holistic approach towards vehicle safety, development was focused on the integration of the passenger cell, for example the integration of restraint systems (seatbelts, airbags). Today, this discipline aims to provide comprehensive protection for vehicle occupants and other vulnerable road users and, ideally, to prevent accidents altogether.
Technical development is proceeding at a rapid pace, increasing not only the complexity of components and systems, but also the requirements and regulations. With more than 40 years of expertise in the field of active, passive and integral safety, Bertrandt offers you expert and interdisciplinary expert knowledge throughout the entire product life cycle.
