At what speed does the airbag deploy?
1 Answers
Airbag deployment requires a relative speed greater than 50km/h and a reverse-direction acceleration of over 40g at the moment of collision. Below are specific details about airbags: 1. Airbag deployment: The controller relies on three acceleration sensors (not speed sensors) to send the deployment command to the airbag. Therefore, even at high speeds, if the acceleration value (impact force) during collision does not exceed the set threshold, the airbag will not deploy. 2. Function of airbags: The electronic-control safety airbag system is a passive safety (see vehicle safety performance) protection system. When used in conjunction with seat belts, it provides effective collision protection for occupants. During a vehicle collision, airbags can reduce head injury rates by 25% and facial injury rates by approximately 80%.
