The report summarizes the effort to develop an improved inflatable restraint system. The objective was to provide up to 50 mph frontal crash protection for front seat passengers without undue hazards to out-of-position occupants. The inflation concept for this program consisted of a dual bag design - a low pressure aspirator filled head bag and a high pressure augmented filled torso bag. The knees were cushioned by a fixed crushable restraint. Based on the results of 39 sled tests and 6 full scale vehicle tests it is concluded that this system probably can be effective in meeting MVSS 208 injury criteria at speeds to 45 mph.
