Design & Analysis of External Airbag System at The Toyota Venza Vehicle

Airbag is technology in the automotive sector which was created to save the passenger from fatal risks in vehicle accident. Airbag are placed at the point of risk of passenger collision so that the impact load generated from this impact will be muted by airbags of the passenger. This research is designed to be able to perform rescue function not only for passenger, but also for vehicle itself. Because the placement of the airbags was placed on the bumper of vehicle, this part is installed with a high sensitivity sensor to be able to provide information to the system. So the airbags can expand before a impact occurs and the vehicle and its contents will be protected. ECU will send a signal to the squib inflator or also known as an igniter which is an electrical device in the form of a thin bridge cable, igniter will generate heat to burn propylene airbags which will produce nitrogen gas.
