0 a bag in a vehicle that automatically fills with air if the vehicle is involved in an accident, in order to protect the driver or a passenger from injury:
As there were no cases of side impact airbag deployments in the sample, this analysis was not repeated for rightside crashes.
The influence of the airbag on these outcomes was considered but the paucity of the data prevented conclusive or informative findings.
The influence of the driver airbag on injury outcomes in frontal impacts was also examined.
This would, of course, affect the sequence of airbag deployment and sensors can be positioned in a childrestraint anchor point.
Table 3 shows crash severity by airbag deployment for each of the age groups.
The influence of the steering wheel mounted airbag on head and chest injury outcomes was also examined in frontal crashes.
Sensors placed in the crumple zone just behind the front bumper would be able to send signals to an airbag's 'central control' to indicate the scale of any impact.
