Inkqubo ye-Air-bag (SRS) ibhekisa kwiNkqubo yoThintelo oluNcedisayo efakwe emotweni. Isetyenziselwa ukuphuma ngexesha lokungqubana, ikhusela ukhuseleko lwabaqhubi nabakhweli. Ngokubanzi, xa udibana nokungqubana, intloko nomzimba womkhweli zinokuthintelwa kwaye zichaphazeleke ngqo ngaphakathi kwesithuthi ukunciphisa umngcipheko wokwenzakala. I-Airbag ichazwe njengenye yezixhobo zokhuseleko eziyimfuneko kumazwe amaninzi.
I-airbag ephambili/yomkhweli, njengoko igama lisitsho, yindlela yokhuseleko engasetyenziswayo ekhusela umkhweli ongaphambili kwaye idla ngokubekwa embindini wevili lokuqhuba nangaphezulu kwebhokisi yeglavu eqhotyoshelweyo.
Umgaqo wokusebenza wengxowa yomoya
Inkqubo yayo yokusebenza ifana kakhulu nomgaqo webhombu. Umvelisi wegesi wengxowa yomoya uxhotyiswe "ngeziqhushumbisi" ezifana ne-sodium azide (NaN3) okanye i-ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). Xa ufumana isignali yokuqhushumba, inani elikhulu legesi liya kuveliswa ngoko nangoko ukuze lizalise yonke ingxowa yomoya.
