Optimisation of Driver-Side Airbag and Restraint System by Occupant Dynamics Simulation

The aim of this paper is to investigate how much potential is still available in an existing restraint system including an OEM's driver-side airbag for the reduction of injury severity to car occupants during frontal collisions. With an additional OEM's airbag and an optimized restrained system, the overall level of occupant injury was only reduced by 9%. The overall injury level could be reduced even more up to 17% by optimizing the OEM's airbag. A 33% injury reduction has been achieved when the original restraint system and the additional airbag are optimized together. Language: en
