    Air bags have been under development for many years to provide additional protection during car crashes. The first patent for an inflatable crash device was filed during World War II. By the 1980s, air bags started appearing in commercial vehicles. Current regulations require new cars to have driver and passenger air bags. Statistics show air bags reduce the risk of death in frontal crashes by 30%. Newer vehicles also include seat-mounted and door-mounted side air bags. Experts predict cars will soon have between six to eight total air bags as research continues to enhance safety.

    AIR BAG SYSTEM IN CAR

    ABSTARCT:

    For years, the trusty seat belt provided the sole form of passive restraint in our cars. There were
    debated about their safety, especially relating to children. But over time, mush of the country
    adopted mandatory seat-belt laws. Statistics have shown that the use of seat belts has saved
    thousands of lives that might have been lost in collisions. Air Bags have been under development
    for many years.

    The attraction of a soft pillow to land against in a crash must be very strong – the first patent on
    an inflatable crash-landing device for airplanes was filed during World War II. In the 1980’s the
    first commercial air bags appeared in automobiles.

    Since 1988, all new cars have been required to have air bags on both driver and passenger sides
    (Light Trucks came under the rule in 1999). To date, Statistics show that air bags reduce the risk
    of dying in a direct frontal crash by 30 percent. Newer than steering Wheel mounted or
    Dashboard-mounted bags, but not so widely used, are seat-mounted and door mounted side air-
    bags. Some experts say that within the nest few years, our cars will go from having dual air bags
    top having six or even eight air bags. Having evoked some of the controversy that surrounded
    seat-belt use in its early years, air bags are the subject of serious government and industry
    research and tests.Stopping an object’s momentum requires force acting over a period of time.
    When a car crashes, the force required to stop an object is very great because the car’s momentum
    has changed instantly while the passengers’ has not much time to work with. The goal of any
    supplemental restraint system is to help stop the passenger while doing as little damage to him or
    her as possible

    What an air bag wants to do is to slow the passengers’ speed to zero with little or no damage. The
    constraints that it has to work within are huge. The air bag has the space between the passenger
    and the steering wheel or dashboard and a fraction of a second to work with. Even that tiny
    amount of space and time is valuable, however, if the system can slow the passenger evenly
    rather than forcing an abrupt halt to his or her motion.
