• Active: safety devices and systems are those which the vehicle occupant must act to make functional, as for example by fastening a seat belt.
• Passive: safety devices and systems are those  which operate without any input or action from the vehicle occupant.An example is active head restraints, which move to a position optimal for preventing neck injury when a collision is imminent.

 Crash avoidance

Crash avoidance systems and devices help the driver  to avoid a collision. This category includes:

• The vehicle’s headlamps, reflectors, and other lights and signals
• The vehicle’s mirrors
• The vehicle’s brakes, steering, and suspension systems

 Driver assistance

A subset of crash avoidance is driver assistance systems, which help the driver to detect ordinarily-hidden obstacles and to control the vehicle. Driver assistance systems include:

• Traction control systems which restore traction if driven wheels begin to spin
• Tire pressure monitoring systems or Deflation Detection Systems
• Reverse backup sensors, which alert drivers to difficult to see objects in their path when reversing
• Electronic Stability Control, which intervenes to avert an impending loss of control
• Lane departure warning systems to alert the driver of an unintended departure from the intended lane of travel
• Adaptive cruise control which maintains a safe distance from the vehicle in front
• Anti-lock braking systems
• Electronic brakeforce distribution systems
• Cornering Brake Control systems
• Emergency brake assist systems
• Forward Collision Warning Systems
• Dynamic Brake Control systems

Crashworthiness

Crashworthiness systems and devices prevent or reduce the severity of injuries when a crash is imminent or actually happening. Much research is carried out using anthropomorphic crash test dummies.

• Seatbelts limit the forward motion of an occupant, stretch to slow down the occupant’s deceleration in a crash, and prevent occupants being ejected from the vehicle.
• Airbags inflate to cushion the impact of a vehicle occupant with various parts of the vehicle’s interior.
• Laminated windshields remain in one piece when impacted, preventing penetration of unbelted occupants’ heads and maintaining a minimal but adequate transparency for control of the car immediately following a collision. tempered glass side and rear windows break into granules with minimally sharp edges, rather than splintering into jagged fragments as ordinary glass does.
• Crumple zones absorb and dissipate the energy of a collision, displacing and diverting it away from the passenger compartment and reducing the impact force on the vehicle occupants.
• Side impact protection beams.
• Collapsible steering columns reduce the risk and severity of driver impalement on the column in a frontal crash.
• pedestrian protection systems.
• Padding of the instrument panel and other interior parts of the vehicle likely to be struck by the occupants during a crash.

 Pedestrian safety

Since at least the early 1970s, attention has also been given to vehicle design regarding the safety of pedestrians in car-pedestrian collisions. Proposals in Europe would require cars sold there to have a minimum/maximum hood height. From 2006 the use of  fashion on 4x4s and SUVs, became illegal.

 Conspicuity

A Swedish study found that pink cars are involved in the fewest accidents, with black cars being most often involved in crashes.

In Auckland New Zealand, a study found that there was a significantly lower rate of serious injury in silver cars; with higher rates in brown, black, and green cars.

          As a result of improvements in highway and automobile design, the incidence of injuries and fatalities per mile driven has decreased significantly, but road traffic injuries still represent about 25% of worldwide injury-related deaths (the leading cause) with an estimated 1.2 million deaths (2004) each year – World Health Organization.

Now we know that creativity is a really important fact of developing a good education for child and in general for people that are studing. To teach creativity and innovation is necessary to have a teacher who knows how to teach it.

This year will be the year of creativity and innovation. That is what scientists and people who have knowledge in those fields are sure of. They are developing lots of projects related to new technology systems like making web blogs to improve students learning new methods.

 We believe that with this project students will become sucessful because they will meet others from other nationalities and keep in touch with them if they would like.

All people are creative but not in the same fields. For example Van Gogh was creative with paintings, Schubbert was creative doing classical music, Shakespeare was creative at literature … In our case we are really creative at technologycs

This questionaire is necessary for governments to know what people think about what is asked. But for us, the people we have to fill the gaps, is really boring and stressful because it takes a lot of time to answer all items.

Capital cities

This is a great view of monaco´s coast. Monaco is located in the south of france, furthermore in la côte d´azur.
