To seek the best in crash safety, HMC secures a safe omni-directional frame construction to disperse collision energy. HMC also applies sophisticated safety devices such as side curtain airbags to minimize the possibility that occupants may be ejected from the vehicle or from broken pieces entering into the vehicle through various computer simulations. In addition, HMC applies dual pretensioners to strengthen a passenger's binding force at the time of a collision, and active headrests, which automatically move upward and forward depending on the load to the upper body during a rearview collision in order to lessen a passenger's risk of head and neck injuries etc.

During a collision, the passenger is influenced by many kinds of design variations, such as vehicle body transformation, a passenger's binding device, the layout of passenger seats and a passenger's physical characteristics. In this regard, HMC continues to perform Occupant Analysis to measure the extent of the influence any design variations may have on passengers.

The safety interpretation specifically designed for women and children passengers has led to vigorous research and development of better air-bags and other passenger safety devices to provide maximum safety for children and small adults, while protecting the passengers' safety at both high-speed and low-speed collision.

Since any car accidents occur while passengers are stationed inside the vehicle, it is inevitable that the analysis of collision safety, conducted by way of a computer simulation program, is performed on the structural body of a vehicle along with a crash dummy that replicates a human body. With such an integral analysis of a given vehicle and its passengers, the transformation of a vehicle's body frame and the safety of its passengers can be easily verified. In this regard, HMC has carried out the analysis of vehicles and its passengers using integral safety-based technology in order to more accurately predict and improve collision safety.
