AIRBAGS
INTRODUCTION TO AIRBAGS
An air bag is an inflatable cushion
designed to
protectautomobileoccupants from
serious injury in the case of a
collision.
The air bag is also known as an air
cushion restraint system (ACRS) or
an air bag supplemental restraint
system (SRS).
This is because the air bag is
designed to supplement the
protection offered by seat belts.
DIAGNOSTIC UNIT
Enables inflator unit and sensors when vehicle is turned on,
performs self check.
Constantly monitors airbag readiness and indicates
malfunctioning through an indicator on dashboard
Usually stores electricity to activate airbag in the event that a
crash damages the battery / link to battery
SENSORS
Several crash sensors located in the front of vehicle and in
the passenger compartment
Each senses the sudden deceleration or impact in the event
of a crash and flips a mechanical switch to indicate a crash.
WORKING OF AIRBAGS
Air Bags are designed to inflate in frontal impacts in which the
car strikes about 16 Kilometers per hour .
After collision , sensors sends an electric current to igniter
system.
The electric current heats a filament (wire), which ignites a
capsule which in turn ignites the gas-generating pallets.
The gas expands quickly and inflation of airbags thereby
takes
place, which breaks through a plastic cover in the
steering wheel
INFLATION SYSTEM
NaN3 + KNO3 = produce large volume of
nitrogen gas.
Hot Blasts of the nitrogen inflate the air
bag from its storage site up to 322Kmph.

Updated sensors :
Deploys the seat belt pretensioners faster to
get benefits of the airbags.
Centralized electronic Control Unit:
The new sensor technology through new
software.
CONCLUSION
Air bags are of greater importance in todays
vehicles since safety of human life is of prior
importance.
So far safe riding and for saving the precious
life the safety bags must be implemented.
Lets hope every automobile manufacturer
implement the same.
