STOCKHOLM, June 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Autoliv, Inc. (NYSE: ALV and SSE: ALIVsdb), the worldwide
leader in automotive safety systems, announced today that Ola
Boström, VP Research, was honoured with the US Government Award for
Safety Engineering Excellence.
Autoliv's VP Research, Ola
Boström, was honored with the US Government Award for Safety
Engineering Excellence at the international technical conference
Enhanced Safety of Vehicles, ESC, held in Detroit, the United
States, on June 5-8, 2017.
"Ola Boström receives the award in recognition of and
appreciation for his exceptional scientific research, which started
with neck injuries. His finding has become an important criterion
to be used in research, development, and validation work, and is
also used in the EuroNCAP rating program. In addition to his
research on neck injuries, over the past 20 years, Boström has
completed or supervised excellent research on several other traffic
safety-related systems, such as more advanced seatbelt and airbag
systems, safety in more complex accident situations like side
impact or rollover accidents, and protection for all road users
like seniors or children," said Tim
Johnson, Director Vehicle Research and Test Center at NHTSA,
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"It is a great honor to be recognized with the prestigious
Safety Engineering Excellence Award, particularly since it
validates the work conducted by me and my colleagues at Autoliv,"
said Ola Boström, VP Research at Autoliv. "We are focused on saving
more lives in real-life traffic situations — and our innovations
are based on thorough research."
Autoliv will present ten scientific papers at the ESV
conference, sharing results from in-house and joint research
projects on child safety, benefits of pre-pretensioning,
countermeasures for submarining, test and assessment procedures for
improved passive protection, accident data analyses and pre-crash
simulations as well as alcohol detection.
The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal sets a goal to
halve the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic
accidents. "To achieve this, continuous innovation in the
automotive sector is key. Nowadays, our solutions not only protect
people when a crash occur – our active safety systems can also
mitigate and even prevent accidents from occurring. Our current
challenge is to understand how the driver can trust the systems
used in autonomous driving, allowing the driver-vehicle system to
reach its full safety potential," Ola Boström says.
