What does ASPS mean in a car?
1 Answers
ASPS in a car stands for Anti-Submarining Protection System. This system is designed with a rear-sunken panel structure under the seat to prevent passengers from sliding forward during sudden braking, which could cause injuries to the neck and spine. Introduction to the Anti-Submarining Protection System: 1. When the vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact, in conjunction with seat belts, it restrains passengers in their seats and generates a sinking force to prevent forward sliding. This reduces the risk of greater injuries caused by legs hitting the dashboard or the head and chest hitting the steering wheel due to forward sliding. 2. In addition to the front-high and rear-low design of internal panels, some car manufacturers now use airbags to prevent passengers from sliding forward as part of the ASPS - Anti-Submarining Protection System.
