Inflatable roof rack structural geometry: BYDRecent Research Landscape

Aerodynamic drag and storage bulk increase fuel costs and limit vehicle utility. These innovations utilize inflatable structural members to provide temporary load-bearing capacity while maintaining a collapsible profile.

What technical problems is BYD addressing in Inflatable roof rack structural geometry?

Fluid leakage at interface

(35)evidences

Unstable mounting of external loads on vehicle surfaces leads to safety risks and structural vibration. Improving attachment integrity prevents cargo displacement and aerodynamic drag penalties.

Inadequate temporary cargo support

(13)evidences

Standard rigid mounting systems are permanent and bulky, creating storage and aerodynamic issues when not in use. Solving this provides on-demand utility without permanent vehicle modification.

Unstable external accessory attachment

(9)evidences

Insecure or imprecise mounting of external hardware to vehicle surfaces leads to vibration and sensor misalignment. Rigid and reliable positioning ensures operational safety and data accuracy.
