An airbag system is effective as a countermeasure of automobile safety. The airbag safety device protects a passenger from injury during a car crash. This paper describes the feasibility study on the applicability of the airbag system for protecting passenger during a car crash. Using the simulation program "MADYMO", the following results are obtained: (1) required velocity change at which the crash sensor sends the firing signal to activate the airbag. (2) optimal time at which the sensor is required to send the firing signal to the airbag.
