Wearable Airbag For Motorcyclists


The D-air system is a part of a specialised motorcycle jacket that deploys in 40 milliseconds,which is very very increadibly fast,when it senses that the rider is falling.Such technology seems likely to become mandatory for all motorcyclists to wear given the legal necessity of cars to have airbags since 1989 in the US.

D-air jacket is very very useful for extreme sports.As we all know,dangerous sports and activities need an extreme safe!So this jacket protect your body from breaking and tearing yourself.This become neccessary in the F1 sport,where motorcycles are riding with increadible speed and if unluckily the accident will happen this is the invention to trust.

The development of D-Air availed of qualified partners at the highest level that included the University of Padova with Professor Cossalter, preside of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and one of the world’s leading experts on two-wheeled vehicle dynamics, and the German 2D Company specialized in data collection/processing and development software. The Fiat Safety Center put Dainese in contact with the most evolved companies involved in air-bags for automobiles, also because the problems to he solved in the development of D-Air are particular and many. On one hand, there are laws and regulations to be respected, such as those governing the transport of explosive materials, for example, and the purely technical problems linked to the development of a new product, on the other.

One of the many technical problems is defining the slide in an innovative system in which the rider is not attached to the bike. Although impact force can be easily recorded, there are no equally significant values for deceleration. The combined rider/vehicle dynamics must be studied, the parameters must be identified, and the entire protection system must be centered on the rider

*Strengths:
  • Absolute safe
  • High technological product
  • Encouraging the confidence of a racer
*Weaknesses:
  • The high cost
  • Weight a lot
  • Can't protect a lot when the racer is sliding on the race track
But anyway,the extreme sports and games need extreme safe products,so that this new invention is very usefull and attracted for Motorbikes brands
