The functions of automotive airbags are as follows:
Protection in Collisions
• Cushioning Impact:Airbags inflate rapidly during a collision to provide a cushion between the occupants and the hard surfaces of the vehicle,such as the dashboard,steering wheel,and door panels.This helps to absorb the impact energy and reduce the severity of injuries.
• Reducing Injury Severity:By distributing the force of the impact over a larger area,airbags can prevent vulnerable body parts from hitting hard surfaces directly,which could otherwise cause painful and sometimes life-threatening injuries.For example,frontal airbags can protect the head and chest,while side airbags can protect the torso and head in side-impact collisions.
Adaptive Deployment
• Crash Severity Assessment:Modern airbag systems can assess the severity of a crash and deploy the airbags accordingly.They use sensors and control units to determine the impact force,direction,and speed,and then decide whether to deploy the airbags and at what level of inflation.This ensures that the airbags are only deployed when necessary and at the appropriate intensity to provide optimal protection.
• Occupant Detection:Some advanced systems can also detect the presence and position of occupants in the vehicle.This allows the airbag system to adjust the deployment strategy based on whether the seat is occupied and the occupant's seating position,preventing unnecessary deployments and ensuring that the airbags are deployed in a way that maximizes safety for the occupants.
Enhancing Overall Safety
• Supplementing Seatbelts:Airbags work in conjunction with seatbelts to provide a comprehensive safety system.While seatbelts restrain the occupants and prevent them from being ejected from the vehicle,airbags provide additional cushioning and protection during the impact.Together,they help to control how the crash forces affect the occupants'bodies,reducing the risk of serious injuries.
• Quick Deflation:Airbags are designed to deflate immediately after the impact.This allows the occupants to exit the vehicle promptly and facilitates the work of emergency responders.Quick deflation also helps to prevent the airbag from obstructing the driver's view or movement after the collision.
