Performance Evaluation of Door & amp; Seat Side-Impact Airbags for Passenger Van and Sport-Utility Vehicles

Madana Gopal, Vital Anne

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

In this study, a MADYMO three-dimensional (3D) model of a generic passenger van/sport-utility type vehicle is created and correlated to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 214 side impact crash test. This model is used to evaluate both door and seat mounted side airbag designs in different orientations at standard test impact condition and at a higher speed. The results are presented and the significance of side airbag design for occupant protection is discussed. (A) For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 492347.
