In fact the 01 July 2015 | www.itozcarscatalog.com | 02contrary is true, and as new safety systemsevolve, so too does airbag technology TEXT: MATT YOUSON These are interesting times in the area of car safety. Hesitantly at frst, but with growing belief, several nations are starting to discuss the path to achieving zero road deaths within their borders. The key, it seems, lies in sensors, communications and algorithms: cars capable of making decisions faster and better than their drivers. But what of established safety systems? Does the deveolpment of automated collision- avoidance technology reduce the value of seatbelts, deformation structures and airbags? The experts say no. In fact, these technologies have never been more relevant. Airbags in particular are part of the revolution, albeit now as the fnal – rather than front – line of defence. The smart systems tasked with crash avoidance also aid in the next-stage development of existing systems: while the need for airbags may be reduced, their efectiveness is also being increased, working in combination with other systems to better cocoon drivers and passengers in worst-case scenarios. Of course, those scenarios are many and varied, and so airbag capability is evolving to cater for the diferent eventualities in which their deployment is necessary. This may seem a new facet of the technology’s development but in truth such evolution goes back to the early days of general industry uptake of airbag technology, as Phillip Sproston, safety integration programme manager at automotive research agency MIRA, explains. “There has been a great deal of progress in those 20 or more years,” he says. “We have gone from the single-driver airbag to a car with lots of airbags, some of which are really quite unusual. The standard types today are the driver and passenger airbags, the curtain airbags and thorax modules that cover the head and pelvis. Then we have the more exotic variants: airbags that go under seats, in between the seats and even, for some small cars, behind the seats.” While manufacturers are keen to grab attention with their systems, the impetus behind the increased sophistication of airbag provision has been a mix of higher- quality empirical data and morestringent legislation. As tests such as those carried out by NCAPs worldwide become harder to pass, so vehicle designers need to blend structural developments with improved restraint technology. 01 July 2015 | www.itozcarscatalog.com | 02
