Airbag Systems: Construction and Safety by Gourab Saha is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Airbags in cars are designed to deploy quickly during frontal collisions to cushion occupants and prevent serious injuries. They work by using sensors to detect impacts over 16 km/hr, which ignites explosive charges to rapidly inflate nylon bags within milliseconds. Modern airbag systems include additional bags to protect the head, neck and sides of occupants. Future advances aim to make airbags smarter through occupant detection sensors and centralized electronic control units.
