Systems Analysis Approach to Integrating Restraint Systems into a Production Ready Small Car

摘要

The term 'System Analysis Approach' is used to convey the concept of using high speed digital computer techniques to design and integrate air bag restraint systems into a car that is optimally compatable with its crash environment. The design of a preliminary driver and passenger air bag restraint system using computer techniques is presented. The designs were installed in two test vehicles and subjected to 35 mph and 40 mph barrier tests. The test results are presented.
