Abstract :
The fall detection sensor for fall protection airbag was investigated to evaluate the airbag system. There are several methods to detect the fall: contact to the ground and detection of free fall. The problems with both methods are discussed. Since the usability of the latter come into practical use, tests in the future standard of airbag are discussed.
