  • Publication number: 20180118175
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system and/or method may reduce certain injuries resulting from a vehicle collision. The method may include opening a valve in a pressurized brake line of a brake system of a vehicle in response to a trigger. The trigger may include a set pressure value of a fluid in the pressurized brake line. The method may include allowing the fluid in the pressurized brake line to flow through a sized opening accessible through the opened valve. The sized opening may reduce a fluid pressure in the pressurized brake line verses time. The sized opening may be dimensioned to allow a flow rate of the fluid conveying through the sized opening such that the fluid pressure reduces over a period of time. The method may include reducing backpressure on a brake pedal coupled to the pressurized brake line.
