Kinematic rollover protection linkage: BayerRecent Research Landscape
Vehicle inversions in open-top architectures pose fatal risks to occupants without structural pillars. These mechanisms utilize high-speed deployment systems to provide instantaneous load-bearing support during kinetic events.
What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Kinematic rollover protection linkage?
Restricted storage space accessibility
(22)evidences
Unprotected or visible cargo spaces lead to theft risks and environmental damage to vehicle interiors. Securing these areas prevents unauthorized access and interior degradation.
Unintended closure entrapment hazards
(15)evidences
Open-top vehicle configurations suffer from excessive airflow and external visibility intrusions into the passenger cabin. Reducing these disturbances improves passenger comfort and safety during high-speed operation.
Inadequate secondary latching security
(12)evidences
Rigid vehicle front-end structures cause fatal injuries during collisions with vulnerable road users. Reducing impact force through controlled hood displacement mitigates trauma and ensures regulatory compliance.
