The Numerical Study for the Adaptive Restraint System

This paper is intended to find out the optimized restraint system for various crash conditions and to analyze the characteristics of those conditions numerically. 40km/h FF (Full Frontal crash), 56km/h FF and 64km/h ODB (Offset Deformable Barrier crash) conditions have been considered with 5^th%ile female, 50^th%ile male and 95^th%ile male dummies on driver side. The vehicle lay out and crash pulses came from a compact passenger car. The restraint system was focused on the driver side airbag and seat belt. MADYMO 3D was used in this study for simulation.
