The accelerated development of the automotive industry has resulted in high mobility of people, which today has a particular impact on the increase in traffic accidents and therefore insufficient level of traffic safety. Since people's life is quite accelerated, such a moment of carelessness when driving can endanger the safety of the traffic, or endanger its participants. Therefore, active and passive vehicle safety elements that play a role in reducing the risk of accidents as well as the risk of injury or death are presented within this final work. The development of the technology also develops electronic and invehicle driver support systems that seek to correct and prevent misjudgments or decisions by drivers that would bring questionable qualities of safety of the participant's movements in traffic. As pedestrians are the most vulnerable participants in traffic, active and passive systems of their protection are also developed in vehicles that will give the driver timely information about the position of the pedestrian, and in the event of an accident mitigate the consequences.
