English term or phrase: crumple zones
Definition from Right Solution, Inc.:
Crumple Zones are sections of the front and rear of a vehicle that are designed to crumple during a crash so as to take as much energy as possible and keep the vehicle's occupants protected.

Example sentence(s):
  • Crumple zones yield during a crash, changing energy from the crash, into heat and sound, which in turn reduces the chances that the passengers in the car will be hurt. Crumple Zones
  • When used in crumple zones, lightweight plastic components can help absorb energy and save vehicle weight at the same time. American Chemistry Council
  • The downside to modern "soft design" crumple zones is that they allow more damage to occur to a vehicle even when the collision is relatively minor and of no major threat to the safety of the occupants, thereby increasing repair costs. Autotropolis

deformācijas zonas


Definition from own experience or research:
Transportlīdzekļa virsbūves un karkasa daļas (parasti priekšpusē un aizmugurē), kas trieciena ietekmē viegli deformējas. Tādā veidā tās absorbē trieciena spēku un palielina drošību.

Example sentence(s):
  • Virsbūves priekšējās daļas deformācijas zonas analīze, deformācijas dziļuma konstatācija (mērījumi), garensijas remonta tehnoloģija, normstundu (meistarlaika) argumentācija (hronometrāža), Garensijas atjaunošanas (meistarlaiks), tehnoloģiskās kartes sastādīšana. - Latvijas Transportlīdzekļu apdr. biroj  
  • Legacy ir veidots tā, lai pasargātu braucējus no traumām, izmantojot dažādas modernas sistēmas un elementus, apvienojot virsbūves stingrību un īpaši projektētas deformācijas zonas, kas absorbē trieciena spēku. Dzinēja stiprinājuma balstrāmis pagarina priekšējo deformācijas zonu. - Subary Legacy - Drošība

gofrētās zonas


Definition from own experience or research:
The crumple zones shall either be located in non-occupied areas close to the extremities of each vehicle, in front of the cab and in inter-car gangways, or if this is not possible in adjacent areas of temporary occupation (for example toilets or vestibules) or cabs. Crumple zones are not allowed in passenger seating areas including those equipped with folding (tip up) seats.
Gofrētās zonas atrodas vietās, kurās neatrodas cilvēki, tuvu katra ritekļa galiem, kabīnes priekšā un starp ritekļu pārejām vai, ja tas nav iespējams, blakus pagaidu uzturēšanās vietām (piemēram, tualetes vai vestibili) vai kabīnēm. Nav atļauts ierīkot gofrētās zonas pasažieru sēdvietu zonās, tajā skaitā tajās, kurās ir salokāmie sēdekļi.
