Abstract: This study examines investigations related to vehicle components and safety features. Specifically, the study emphasizes the importance of analysing components such as brake systems, steering systems, tires, airbags, and data recorders in the reconstruction of accidents to uncover contributing factors. It concentrates on how mechanical failures or malfunctions in these systems can impair vehicle performance, leading to accidents. Additionally, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of advanced safety features, including Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Driver-Assist Technologies (DATs) in preventing accidents. The literature review explores various safety tools, ranging from airbags to child car seats, highlighting their role in reducing fatalities and injuries. Studies show that these technologies, when properly maintained and combined with driver education and well-maintained roads for both daytime and nighttime driving, greatly improve road safety. This review underscores the ongoing need for innovation and the integration of safety systems to prevent accidents and improve traffic safety outcomes.
