The article shows the study of the influence of the anthropometric characteristics of drivers and passengers on the time of evacuation from the passenger compartment of the vehicle, through the window opening of the vehicle door in an accident with fire in the event of a jammed door lock. It was determined that a large category of drivers and passengers could not be evacuated through the vehicle window opening and was determined as the most optimal way of evacuation directly from the doorway. Based on the data obtained, a new design of the car door hinge was proposed using materials with shape memory effect, which makes it possible to break the connection between the door and the body. The principles of operation of the proposed design of car door hinges are shown.
