Abstract

This report summarizes the analyses, design, and testing that were conducted to develop an air bag restraint system for the subcompact car capable of protecting the driver in frontal and frontal oblique crashed up to 50 mph. The result of this work has been the development of a small, rapidly inflating dual air bag (inner and outer bags) mounted to a stroke efficient energy absorbing steering column. The lower body energy is absorbed by a crushable knee restraint fabricated of Styrofoam.
