Field performance of advanced air bags was analyzed using Event Data Recorders (EDRs). While generally as expected, some deployments occurred at low speeds and some non-deployments at higher speeds, indicating potential issues with advanced air bag systems.

Area of Science:

  • Automotive Safety Engineering
  • Crashworthiness Research
  • Occupant Protection Systems

Background:

  • Advanced air bag systems have undergone extensive laboratory testing.
  • Understanding real-world performance of these systems is crucial for safety.
  • Event Data Recorders (EDRs) offer valuable field data for air bag performance analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the field performance of advanced air bag systems.
  • To compare laboratory expectations with real-world deployment data.
  • To identify anomalies in advanced air bag performance using EDR data.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 164 advanced air bag cases from NASS/CDS (2002-2006) with EDR data.
  • Utilizing EDRs to record inputs to advanced air bag control modules.

  • Examining deployment thresholds and timing based on longitudinal delta-V.

    • Main Results:

    • Advanced driver air bags had a 50% deployment probability at 9 mph (1st stage) and 26 mph (both stages).
    • Observed deployments occurred at delta-Vs as low as 3-4 mph.
    • Non-deployments were noted at delta-Vs exceeding 26 mph, with possible delayed deployments.

    Conclusions:

    • Advanced air bag field performance was largely as anticipated.
    • Anomalies such as low-speed deployments and high-speed non-deployments were identified.
    • Further investigation into EDR data is needed to fully understand field performance variations.
