WHY "INTELLIGENT" AUTOMOTIVE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS?

Four basic areas of development leading ultimately to the installation in vehicles of "intelligent" restraint systems are (1) the characterization and implementation of sophisticated energy management in a crash event; (2) the development and application of suitable sensors; (3) the development and implementation of "smart" seat belt and airbag systems; and (4) the demonstration of the economic benefits to be realized through reduction of crash fatalities and serious injuries.
