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.

In this study, a new airbag sensor packaging technique of directly attachment by adhesive to the automobile frame is introduced. To assess the feasibility for the packaging, a test instrument was manufactured to examine the impact sensibility by drop tests. The conventional sensor module attached mechanically by bolts with plastic housing and the new sensor packaging were installed to aluminum channel, and the results were compared with each other. Numerical analysis was also performed to investigate the signal characteristics created by the sensors. The preliminary results showed that the pattern of the MEMS sensor signal was strongly dependent on the structural behavior of the frame where the sensors were installed, which indicated the complexity of the packaging design for proper airbag deployments.

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.

In this study, the dynamic impact analysis for the passenger air-bag(PAB) module has been carried out by using FEM to predict the dynamic characteristics of vehicle ride safety against head impact. The impact performance of vehicle air-bag is directly related to the design parameters of passenger air-bag module assembly, such as the tie bar bracket's width and thickness, respectively, However, the product's design of PAB module parameters are estimated through experimental trial and error according to the designer's experience, generally. Therefore, the dynamic analysis of head impact test of the passenger air-bag module assembly of automobile is needed to construct the analytical methodology At first, the FE models, which are consist of instrument panel, PAB Module, and head part, are combined to the whole module system. Then, impact analysis is carried out by the explicit solution procedure with assembled FE model. And the dynamic characteristics of the head impact are observed to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing with the experimental results. The better optimized impact performance characteristics is proposed by changing the tie bracket's width md thickness of module. The proposed approach of impact analysis will provides an efficient vehicle to improve the design quality and reduce the design period and cost. The results reported herein will provide a better understanding of the vehicle dynamic characteristics against head impact.

As we begin to develop into an aging society, a lot of safety issues are emerging recently. Also, laws and products related to the safety and welfare of the elderly are being released. Therefore, this paper investigated the safety of the elderly. In this paper, we propose a system that can detect motion such as falling or slipping of elderly people by using gyro sensor and accelerometer to solve these factors.

This paper describes the research and development of a 3.0 m Solar-Powered UAV system for mission flight that is based on the 4.2 m Solar-powered UAV. Both the Solar-Powered UAVs were lightened in weight by applying a composite fuselage and solar charging system. Also, a deep stall landing application and airbag module were installed for usability in mission performance. The flight performance of the Solar-Powered UAV system was verified through flight test. In particular, the 3.0 m Solar-Powered UAV performed continuous flight along the coastline of Jeju Island for 147 km in 3 hours and 50 minutes, and its performance as a mission flight was also confirmed.
