    Volvo has had a longstanding commitment to safety in vehicle design since the 1920s. Some of their early safety innovations included automatic windshield wipers, three-point seatbelts, and seats facing the back of the car. In the 1970s and 80s, Volvo introduced further safety features such as seatbelt reminders, antilock brakes, and side impact protection. To rigorously test new safety designs, Volvo established the Volvo Safety Centre in the 1990s, featuring high-speed crash simulations, component testing, and computer modeling. The Centre allows Volvo to efficiently and cost-effectively evaluate safety features through virtual and physical crash reenactments before implementing them in vehicles.

    Volvos Commitment to Safety


    Volvo laid great emphasis on safety in its vehicles.
    1927- Automatic wind shield wipers. 1958- Three point shoulder/lap seat belt. 1960- Seats facing the back of the car. 1972- Seat belt reminder. 1980- Wide angle rear view mirror. 1984- Antilock brake system. 1991- Side impact protection system. 1995- SIPS airbags

    1999- Inflatable curtains

    The Volvo Safety Centre


    Establishment of Volvo Safety Centre at Gothenburg with 50 mn pounds. Worlds most advanced safety testing centre. Tests at VSC: Computer simulation Component testing Crash simulations

    Computer Simulation
    Testing of new car designs through computer simulation. Impact of design on safety. Use of NEC-SX-4 supercomputer Inexpensive as compared to real crash tests.

    Repetition of the same crash on the same car.

    Component Testing
    Study the impact on the human body. Testing the safety of components rather than entire vehicle. Use of FMH rig, Fall rig, DIT rig, drop test rig. Study of the side impact collision.

    Accurate data and time saving.

    Crash Simulations
    Last stage at Volvo Safety centre. Comprehensive test on the entire vehicle. All kinds of possible collisions were done. High speed crashes at various angles. VSC had two long tracks 154m and 108m resp. Use of Air cushion technology. Center consist of
    30 high speed film Video cameras 32 daylight photo lamps

    Comparison of the simulated test data with actual collision data.
