Abstract
Paper introduces cost effective design alternatives for “out of position” occupant safety, including:
- Extractable passenger side lids which move out of the way before airbag deploys.
- Multi-stage tether controlled airbag deployment dynamically senses “out of position” resistance and controls deployment of further stages.
- Airbag back pressure activated steering column forward and down movement.
- Two stage thorax bag with tether control to prevent catapulting “out of position” occupants.
- Two stage headrest that expands forward and sideways to protect occupant heads in rear end crashes. Second stage activates only if no “out of position” is detected.
