   Abstract:
   Two types of movable restraint systems were designed: one an inflatable system and the other a rigid sliding system based on computer simulations of front seat occupant kinematics in rear-end collisions. Inflatable systems showed distinct advantages: compact packaging, low inertia during deployment, great latitude in final deployed shape, and ability to expand fore and aft while deploying vertically.
