Abstract

This study is mainly inclined towards understanding why there is a necessity for Airbags and ABS in vehicles and to analyse its pros and cons. A survey is been presented in this study on whether the use of airbags and ABS is beneficial to help curb road accidents. Accidents are prevailing world-wide due to the increased number of vehicles. These unexpected happenings lead to terrific consequences like causing damage to the vehicle and the people travelling in it. Damage to the vehicle can be passed over but if a human is being killed because of an accident, then it is pathetic. Hence AIRBAGS and ABS can be implemented, so that even if a massive accident happens, the victim is left with considerable injuries rather than having his life at stake. We mainly forward through this paper, an analysis of how a human life a can be saved by implementing these technologies. The working of airbags and ABS; also how they can be more efficient is also projected in this study.

Keywords:
