摘要

While examining issues related to safety of vehicles, not only the critical parameters of their movement [1] or circumstances of traffic events [2] shall be analyzed; in addition, safety and strength of the vehicle's construction shall be analyzed upon striving to make sure that it really ensures a safety both of the driver and the passengers [3], In case of a frontal impact, the driver usually suffers heavier injuries, as compared to the passengers, and in case of a lateral impact, the injuries of the driver are less serious [4]. A produced vehicle should meet the safety requirements; in addition, it should be reliable and durable, because a weakened construction of the vehicle does not duly protect persons inside the vehicle in case of a traffic event and they may suffer heavy injuries or even perish.
