Design and Analysis of Air Bag System in Two Wheeler Vehicle System

The Airbag system was first introduced in 4-wheeled vehicles but this research gives information about the introduction of the airbag system that can be used in the two wheelers (bikes). The concept of airbag system is: "To reduce the injuries to a rider when impacting with an opposing vehicle and/or opposing object in frontal collisions by absorbing rider kinetic energy and by reducing rider separation velocity from motorcycle in the forward direction." This can be done with the help of ANGLE sensor, an angle indicator and sense of the collision and the large frequency vibration for to open the air bag. The material of bag will be optimized and calculation will be done accordingly. The research will also include the working, construction, installation and the problems regarding airbags. Some of the limitations perceived in deploying airbags are that two wheeler riders are less likely to be in a fixed location with respect to the airbag at the point of impact and the lack of supporting surface. The nature of such impacts will be analyzed in the simulation for a proposed airbag system to estimate the head accelerations when the initial contact with the airbag is during the deployment phase. By using CAD tool like Solid Work 2016 for modeling of airbag and simulation for failure analysis of airbag for static and dynamic condition.
