Effectiveness of center-mounted airbag in far-side impacts based on THOR sled tests.

Conclusion: The center-mounted airbag reduced the ATD excursions and accelerations in the 45° and 90° tests, thus reducing the risk of injury due to contact with the intruding structure. The results of this study may assist in designing countermeasures for vehicles in far-side impact. PMID: 31567026 [PubMed - in process]
