Design and Implementation of Development and Testing Platform for Airbag Control System

Abstract:

In the late-stage of designing an airbag control system, a lot of collision experiments should be done to verify the performance of the system, but collision experiments cost a lot of time and money. In this paper, we design a new development and testing platform that can generate multi-channel acceleration analog signals and provide multi-channel airbag ignition interfaces. The platform receives the acceleration data customized on PC via a USB interface, then, the PC issues a command to start the output of the acceleration waveforms. The airbag ignition interface has the same electrical characteristics with real airbag, when it receives an ignition current, the platform will ignite the virtual airbag, and record the time. The experimental results show that the platform designed in this paper can precisely simulate the acceleration waveforms collected in collision experiments.
