Crashworthy Rear Bumper System THE IMPORTANCE OF BUMPER SYSTEM AND CURRENT ISSUES
In automobiles, a bumper is the front-most or rear-most part designed to allow the car to sustain an impact without damage to the
vehicle's safety systems. Bumpers are not capable of reducing injury to vehicle occupants in high-speed impacts, but are
increasingly being designed to mitigate injury to pedestrians struck by cars. A conventional automotive bumper structure comprises
of the following:
• Hollow bumper beam extending in a width-wise direction of a vehicle
• A pair of left and right stays fixed to vehicle body
• A supporting bumper beam
• A smart key sensor
The conventional bumper is less safety; therefore a team of researchers has designed a bumper system that focuses on the
passenger safety. A feature of the invention is that it can absorb the impact energy and dissipate it into internal energy of the
bumper beam, foams and ribs.
The technology is a rear bumper system that is lightweight and
crashworthy. It is lightweight and safe. Some features of the
invention include:
• A bumper beam coupled to the inner side of the bumper
for absorbing impact energy from the bumper and
eventually distributing the impact energy along the
bumper beam
• A pair of crash housing coupled to the bumper beam for
further absorbing the impact energy from the bumper
beam
• Vertical ribs arranged along the bumper beam for
strengthening it
The prototype is designed for Proton cars, but it is customisable
to all type of passengers vehicles.
Patent has been filed to protect the invention in Malaysia since 2012.

TARGET MARKET Based on market analysis, vehicle sales in Asia Pacific reached
30 million units in 2011, with sales growing nearly 13% annually
between 2000 and 2011. In ASEAN, Malaysia is the third
biggest car market with 3 car manufacturers, 8 car assemblers,
9 motor assemblers and more than 800 component
manufacturers and employs more than 300,000 people. In 2011
the total production of motor vehicles amounted to 533,515 units
of passenger vehicles and 45,254 of commercial vehicles.
