This paper discusses the design of an automobile air cushion restraint system which will provide adequate occupant protection. The extensive process employed in the design of such a system is presented; systems analysis, engineering, testing, and evaluation are the major points of the process. The program is intended to provide low-cost safety methods, and to provide a basis for future development of more improved safety systems.
