Abstract- In this paper,an extendable and retractable bumper (E/R bumper) is presented. The E/R bumperis intended to automatically extend in situations in which there is a high riskof frontal impact to prepare the vehicle for crash and retract when the risk subsides. A functionaldemonstration vehicle and two experimental vehicles were built with theElectromagnetic E/R bumper. According to traffic accident data, the majority ofsevere road accidents occur at night. It is, therefore, of great importance touse available technology to contribute to road safety by improving the visualconditions provided by vehicle headlights. The Adaptive Headlight System is an active safety system, where theheadlamp orientation control system rotates the right and left low beamheadlights independently and keeps the beam as parallel to the curved road aspossible to provide better night time visibility.
