Abstract:

To ensure the protection of an occupant in the event of a side impact, the side airbags play an important aspect of protection. The airbags interact directly with the occupant's body to prevent injuries in den area of the hip-thorax zone. Due to the small impact zone of an side impact, the side airbags need to be open approximately in less than 5 ms and be in position in about less than 20 ms. As a standard checking the performance of a side airbag during the development 2D high-speed cameras are used.
The investigation of this study is based on the evaluation of the possibility of using an alternative 3D technique for the application of testing the side airbag deployment. This already known 3D measurement technique was developed in a cooperation between Fraunhofer IOF, Fraunhofer SCAI and Volkswagen AG.
