Géré par des capteurs, le «capot actif» développé par Magna Electronics Europe vise à accroître la sécurité des piétons. À l'intérieur d’un ruban détecteur de 1, 10 à 1, 40 m, en élastomère thermoplastique Hytrel de DuPont et installé entre le pare-choc avant et le radiateur, se trouve une mousse polyuréthane(PU) souple dans laquelle est encapsulée une fibre optique en polyméthyleméthacrylate(PMMA). Une diode LED synchronisée avec un récepteur situé à l'autre extrémité du ruban détecteur envoie des impulsions lumineuses à la fibre optique. Le récepteur enregistre l'intensité de la lumière qui lui parvient et la compare en permanence à la lumière émise. En cas de choc sur le détecteur, la perte d’intensité lumineuse dans la fibre optique est détectée. Le détecteur en déduit la force du choc et, selon sa variation dans le temps, détermine la nature de l'obstacle heurté. Si le calculateur conclut que cet obstacle est une personne, il déclenche des actionneurs pyrotechniques qui, en 40 ms, soulève le capot de quelques centimètres. Cette procédure augmente la distance entre le piéton et les composants rigides du moteur et modifie l'angle pour que la tête du piéton ne vienne pas heurter le pare-brise. 2, record 3, French, - capot%20actif
