에어백 관련기술은 차체 충돌특성 평가, 승객거동분석, 좌석벨트/조향축/에어백의 조화설계 등을 포함하는 시스템 엔지니어링 기술과 충돌감지센서, 가스발생기, 모듈 등을 포함하는 주요 기능 부품의 설계 및 제조기술로 구분된다. 이 중 시스템 엔지니어링 기술은 국내의 완성차 업계의 노력에 의하여 선진국의 수준에 근접하고 있으나 부품의 설계 및 제조기술은 매우 취약한 상황이다. 80년대 후반부터 각국의 에어백 관련 특허 출원 건수가 급증하고 있으며 새로운 기능의 부품들이 속속 개발되고 있다. 에어백 기술의 발전방향은 소형화, 경량화, 저렴화로 요약된다. 차량의 전방 충돌에 대비한 에어백이 주종을 이루고 있으나 측면 충돌에 대비한 side bag, 뒷자석 승객을 보호하기 위한 rear bag 등이 개발되고 있고 최근에는 버스 등 대형차량이나 모터사이클 등에도 에어백을 부착하기 위한 연구가 추진되고 있다. 에어백은 충돌센서(crash sensor), 가스발생장치(inflator), 공기주머니(bag), 덮개(cover), 배선(wire harness) 등으로 구성된다. 이들 중에서 공기주머니, 덮개, 가스발생장치를 결합한 부분 조립품을 모듈(module)이라고 부르고 있다. 이하에서는 에어백을 구성하는 주요 기능부품들의 종류, 특성과 기술개발 동향을 알아보기로 한다.

With the development of small multicopter PAV (Personal Air Vehicle), it is necessary to develop safety-related devices for manned rotorcraft. In this study, we assumed that an external airbag can be installed in a small multicopter PAV, and using LS-DYNA's Airbag Folding Application, we performed a free-fall collision analysis by modeling the airbag shapes consisting or Roll, Zigzag, and Sigma. There was no significant difference in the final airbag deployment time of the three models. However, when it collides with the ground during deployment, the Sigma fold type external airbag had the fastest deployment speed, applying the most impact force to the PAV, while the Roll fold type external airbag applied the smallest impact force to the PAV.

There is not enough absorption space in the side of a vehicle so injuries to a passenger are higher compared to frontal impact injuries. For the protection of the passenger in the event of a side impact, vehicle regulations and new car assessment program(NCAP) are implemented all over the world. However, passive safety such as absorption technology of vehicle body itself is limited due to the narrow space of the side part. At the present time, it is well known that a side airbag including a curtain airbag is the most effective system to protect the passenger during a side impact. In this study, optimum design of the curtain airbag is carried out to reduce Head Injury Criterion(HIC) of the passenger. Based on crashworthiness simulation, an orthogonal array is selected based on the defined design variables, the response surfaces are generated from the orthogonal array and optimization is conducted with the surfaces.

The purpose of this paper is to study the failure cases in relation to system of Air Bag in vehicle happened in the field. In the first example, it was separated the soldering parts connected the wire pin between air bag module and clock spring of air bag. Whenever the pin shake by the car's vibration, the driver verified the malfunction phenomenon appeared air bag warning lamp on instrument panel in front of driver's seat. in car inside room. The second example, it verified the warning lamp lighting phenomenon of air bag by produced the circuit plate non-contacting of single an element in air bag electronic control unit. The third example, it verified the light of air bag warning indicator lamp by separated with soldering parts connecting inner pin and resistance terminal of seat belt pretensioner using passenger seat. The fourth example, when the passenger car crash a back of truck, the former bumper get jammed under the latter as the roof height of car low less than that. Therefore, the impact of Car's collision verified that don't transfer with body frame of vehicle because of no attachment impact sensor in it.

Car emblems are representative of both the car and driver. Each emblem had its own distinct history and meaning. Today, customers and car designers require high quality car emblems. Today's car emblems are made of plastic, metal, steel, and aluminum. The emblems need to represent the designer's creative idea and symbol of car. On the other hand, the development period of an emblem requires a minimum of 6 months. When the design of an emblem is changed, more time is required. The paradigm shift of a car emblem changes from analog to digital. In this research, a digital LCD emblem system and the method of attaching it to the airbag cover were developed. When the airbag is engaged, digital LCD emblem system is not separated from the airbag.

A silicon microaccelerometer is designed and fabricated using silicon epitaxial layers for automotive electronic airbag applications. A cantilever structure is chosen for high sensitivity and piezoresistive detection method is adopted for circuit simplicity and low cost. An optimum design is used to find optimum microstructure sizes for maximum sensitivity subject to performance requirements and design constraints on natural frequency, damping ratio, maximum allowable stress and microfabrication limitations. The microaccelerometer is fabricated by micromachining processing steps, composed of material-selective and orientation-dependent chemical etching techniques. Fabricated prototype shows a sensitivity of 88.6$\mu\textrm{V}$/g within a resonant frequency of 1.75KHz. Estimated performance of the microaccelerometer is compared with measured one. Discrepancy between the theoretical values and the experimental values is discussed together with possible sources of the errors.

본 논문은 차량용 스마트에어백 시스템이 탑승자의 머리 위치를 파악하여 지능적으로 에어백을 전개하도록 돕기 위한 얼굴 위치 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 차량용 임베디드 시스템은 한정된 자원에서 기능을 동작시키기 때문에 여러 가지 구현상 제한 조건들이 존재한다. 이러한 제한 조건들을 만족시키기 위해 알고리즘의 경량화 및 최적화 작업이 수반 되어져야한다. 제안하는 알고리즘에서는 이진화된 오브젝트에 거리변환(Distance Transform)을 사용하여 사람의 형태학적 모양을 분석/판단한다. 그리하여 얼굴의 위치를 검출하는 방법이다. 여러 가지 배경 상황에 관계없이 사람의 형태학적 모습을 이용하므로 사람 형태 검출에 용이하다. 설계된 알고리즘은 TI사의 TMS320DM6437 EVM 보드에서 구현하였고 구현 결과 제안한 알고리즘이 IR 영상에서 높은 인식률 및 빠른 처리 속도를 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.
