Abstract

Computer simulation of motorcycle crashworthiness was introduced in the development of a new airbag system. We chose MADYMO and PAM-SAFE as the basic software for the simulation. The new airbag system has several features suited to the special needs of motorcycles. Tests have shown that this air bag system is promising, but there are remaining technical issues that need to be resolved before it can be put to practical use.
