AIRBAGS: A Safety Restraint
System of an automobile
INTRODUCTION
➢Seat belts provided the sole form of safety
in cars.
➢Airbags were developed.
➢A soft pillow to land against in a crash.
➢They are gas-inflated cushions.
➢The first patent on an inflatable crash
landing device was filed during World War
II.
➢Airbags are the subject of serious
scientific research and tests.
BASICS OF AIRBAGS
❖Newton’s second law of motion.
➢If objects aren’t restrained they will continue
moving at the speed of the moving car even if
the car is stopped by a collision.
➢All airbags need to do is slow down
the passengers speed to zero.
MAIN PARTS OF AN AIRBAG
➢ Bag
Made of thin nylon fabric,folded into a steering wheel
or dashboard or more recently the door or seat.
➢ Sensor
Tells the bag to inflate
➢ Inflation system
The rapid pulse of hot nitrogen gas to inflate the bag.
WORKING
➢During collision, a mechanical switch is flipped
and an electrical contact takes place.
➢Sensors send an electric current to the inflation
system.
➢Inflation system contains sodium azide and
potassium nitrate.
➢Electric current heats the filament which ignites
the capsule containing Nitrogen gas.
➢The gas expands quickly and inflation of air
bags takes place, which literally bursts from its
storage site in the steering wheel.
2 NaN3 → 2 Na + 3 N2 (g)
10 Na + 2 KNO3 → K2O + 5 Na2O + N2 (g)
K2O + Na2O + 2 SiO2 → K2O3Si + Na2O3Si (silicate glass)
This is how it takes place..
MECHANICAL CRASH SENSORS
• CRASH SENSOR WITH DAMPING
BALL IN-TUBE SENSOR
THE AIRFLOW GENEARTES AN AERODYNAMIC DRAG FORCE THAT DAMPENS THE
BALL MOTION.
• SPRING MASS SENSOR
ROLOMITE SENSOR
Roller- suspended with a tensioned baned.
Substantial collision- roller overcomes a spring force and rotates forward.
Impact-moving contact of the metallic band touches a fixed contact and
closes a circuit.
Parameters- distance of trigger
- magnitude of the spring.
Future of airbags
❖ Smart Restraint Systems
➢Adapts its geometry, performance or
behavior to suit various impacts and occupant
position.
➢Includes weight sensors.
➢Determine type of occupant in the seat.
i.e child or adult.
➢Detect the distance of passenger from
airbags.
MODERN TYPES OF AIRBAGS
❖ Side air bag
➢Cars that currently offer side airbags
represent the new wave of occupant
protection.
➢Provides protection during side collisons.
➢This prevents the airbag on the
undamaged side of the car from inflating.
❖ Curtain airbags
➢Inflates in front of windows to provide
passengers better head and neck protection.
➢More efficient at tipping and side impacts.
❖ Door air bag
➢The door has more space, allowing for
a bigger bag that provides more
coverage. Developed by Ford and
Renault.
➢Door-mounted side air bags must
begin deploying in mere 5 or 6
Airbag checks
➢Turn the key and look at the dashboard to
find the airbag light on for 7-10 sec. & then it
goes off.
➢Problems occur when
•
•
•
1. Light does not come on.
2. If light does not go off after the period.
3. If light comes while driving.
CONCLUSIONS
➢Since safety of human life is of high
priority, Air bags are of greater importance
in the present vehicles.
➢Safety bags must be implemented for
safe riding and for saving precious lives.
➢Let’s hope every automobile
manufacturer implements the same.
