A system for increasing the security of road users. The system includes motor vehicles, each having a security device that can be activated by an activation signal associated with a security assistance request. The system includes a mobile communication device for transmitting position-data and a selected security assistance request. The system includes a control device for receiving the security assistance request and the acquired current position-data and for transmitting activation signals associated with the security assistance request to an assisting motor vehicle. The control device is configured to specify the one assisting motor vehicle also depending on the acquired current position-data and the security assistance request.

System and method for increasing the security of road users without an own motor vehicle

Exemplary methods of making a bumper component are disclosed, along with exemplary bumper assemblies and vehicles. An exemplary method may include providing a first mold portion defining at least in part a front surface, and positioning at least one sensor in the first mold portion. Exemplary methods may further include enclosing the at least one sensor within the first mold portion with a second mold portion. The second mold portion may define at least in part a rear surface. The method may further include forming a body within the first and second mold portions, thereby embedding the at least one sensor between the front and rear surfaces, the body extending between the front and rear surfaces.
