COMPARISON OF AIRBAG SENSORS USING COMPUTER SIMULATION

This paper presents a comparison of airbag sensors. Mathematical sensors are used for five types of sensors in order to assess them in two ways: 1) at marginal and high speed crash, and 2) their function as a single point sensor. The authors present an electronic sensor applicable in crash detection, that is sensitive to both velocity change and vibration.
