In this paper We present a theoretical study for an optimization process of an airbag system. We are using simulation methods for this study to show the relevance of different parameters in the development process.
First, we investigate several influence parameters affecting the contact between dummy and airbag, such as contact velocity, contact time, pressure level and vent sizes
We then present some conclusions concerning the development process, especially under the consideration of different dummy sizes.
