Abstract
In this paper, we present an analytical study of design optimization of side airbag systems with respect to three chosen driver-side-like prototype inflators. An airbag/SID model has been developed in CAL3D. This model was used with a CAL3D design optimization program to identify airbag designs that met all FMVSS 214 requirements, assuming the feasibility of developing such a system in hardware. The results of this study were then used to guide the experimental work of side airbag system development.
