Abstract
Disclosed is a safety restraint design controller for controlling the design of a safety restraint system so that a predetermined desired level of an occupant's response ( ) is produced. The controller has a database ( ) for storing an occupant restraint factor response model ( ). The model ( ) interrelates at least one predetermined restraint factor ( ) with the occupant response ( ), the restraint factors having a level that is indicative of setting values for controlling the safety restraint design. A database engine connected to the database ( ) determines a level for the occupant response ( ) based upon the model and upon a first level of the restraint factors. An optimizer is connected to the database engine for determining a second level of the restraint factors ( ), which produces the desired level of the occupant response based upon the desired level of the occupant response ( ) from the database engine; whereby the safety restraints design is controlled based upon the determined second level of the restraint factors that produces the desired level of the safety response.
