Abstract
This book discusses how well current systems serve the intended purpose, and how well new technologies can help overcome certain problems and/or improve existing occupant protection systems. Contents include: Air Bag Aspiration Simulation; Occupant Performance with Constant Force Restraint Systems; Restraint force Optimization for a Smart Restraint System; Improving Occupant Protection Systems in Frontal Crashes; A Discussion of the Air Bag System and Review of Induced Injuries; Injuries Sustained by Air Bag Protected Drivers; Technological Trends in Occupational Protection Systems - Recent Research Challenges from the German Point of View; and Temperature Compensated Stored Gas Inflator.
