A safety system (10) for a vehicle (12) is incorporated within the structure of the vehicle (12). The system includes an energy absorbing structure (14) which may collapse, crumple, deform or otherwise absorb energy under impact. A mounting arrangement (16) moves the structure (14) relative to the vehicle (12) in the event that an imminent collision is sensed by a sensor (24). In one example, the structure (14) is moved forward, relative to the vehicle (12), to leave a gap (20) between the structure (14) and hard components (22) of the vehicle (12), such as the radiator, engine block or the like. This increase in distance results in a greater amount of energy being absorbed from the person (18), before the person can impact the hard components (22).

L'invention concerne un système de sécurité (10) destiné à un véhicule (12) incorporé dans la structure du véhicule (12). Le système comprend une structure absorbante d'énergie (14) pouvant s'aplatir, se froisser, se déformer ou absorber autrement de l'énergie lors d'un impact. Un agencement de montage (16) déplace la structure (14) par rapport au véhicule (12) au cas où une collision imminente est détectée par un capteur (24). Dans un exemple, la structure (14) est déplacée vers l'avant, par rapport au véhicule (12), pour laisser un espace (20) entre la structure (14) et des composants durs (22) du véhicule (12), tels que le radiateur, le bloc de moteur ou autres composants durs. Cette augmentation de distance a comme résultat une plus grande quantité d'énergie absorbée loin de la personne (18), avant que la personne ne puisse heurter les composants durs (22).
