French Developments In Original Deployable Systems [With Reference To Safety Belts]

The Association PEUGEOT-RENAULT has explored several paths, technological as well as theoretical, regarding deployable methods of restraint. The first work was carried out using various kinds of American-made devices. At the same time, the Association PEUGEOT-RENAULT is actively participating in the development of French devices. This communication explains the present stage of these technological solutions, analyzes the performances obtained, and allows comparison of the latter with those obtained using seat belts.
