Abstract

Investigations were performed to determine for oblique impacts the occupant kinematics protection limits afforded by full front seat air bags installed in a subcompact car. The results of this program demonstrate that occupants of the subject small car can be protected by air bag restraints in 45 oblique principal direction of force impacts up to 30 mph barrier equivalent velocity.
