At ASC Forensics, our team brings decades of hands-on experience in automotive crash sensing and airbag development. Our team has been directly involved in the design, development, and testing of airbag crash-sensing systems, cultivating an unparalleled understanding of how these safety-critical systems function in laboratory vs. real-world collisions.
With backgrounds in automotive engineering, airbag system design, crash data analysis, and product development, our team has worked on the cutting edge of SRS technology, from calibrating airbag sensors to designing and implementing crash detection algorithms.
Our team’s experience includes:
This specialized experience allows us to deliver results that are not only technically accurate but also grounded in a profound understanding of the intricate factors that influence SRS airbag performance. When you work with ASC Forensics, you’re partnering with a team that has dedicated their careers to advancing automotive safety and collision analysis.
Investigating collisions where airbags failed to deploy by identifying root causes such as sensor miscalibration, damaged wiring, or design limitations in crash detection methodologies.
Analyzing cases of spontaneous or overaggressive airbag deployments that cause unnecessary harm to the occupants given the impact severity.
Providing initial reviews of airbag system performance to identify potential issues, gather critical data, and determine the direction of further case-specific analysis.
Examining failures in Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) electrical components, including wire harness damage, connector issues, and control module malfunctions, to assess their impact on system performance.
Evaluating calibration and design specifications for airbag deployment thresholds and timing while comparing them to the system's performance in real-world crash conditions.
Assessing the placement, orientation, and mounting structure of crash sensors to determine their effectiveness in adequately detecting impact forces and triggering a timely airbag deployment.
Analyzing the overarching algorithm philosophy for a specific airbag system to determine its robustness to perform adequately under a range of crash scenarios and environmental conditions.
Simplifying complex airbag system designs and operations into clear, jury-friendly explanations that illustrate how components and algorithms function in real-world crashes.
Examining the design and performance of airbag deployment algorithms to evaluate their sensitivity, calibration, and decision-making processes during crash events.
Evaluating crash sensing algorithms for various collision types, assessing their ability to detect and respond appropriately to frontal, side, rear, and rollover impacts under real-world conditions.
Decoding and interpreting Crash Data Recording (CDR) information to evaluate pre-crash vehicle dynamics, occupant safety system performance, and crash severity.
Investigating airbag and crash-sensing system behavior during low-severity collisions to determine if deployment and safing thresholds were appropriately calibrated.
