Abstract

The invention relates to high voltage color indicated air bags. An airbag system upon deployment indicates the type of power system in a vehicle in which the airbag system is contained in. The airbag system includes an airbag inflator, a crash sensor in communication with the airbag inflator, and an airbag. The airbag includes a flexible fabric cushion that has an exposed surface after the airbag is inflated by the airbag inflator. The exposed surface has an indicator that shows the type of power system within the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to airbags with improved safety features for alternative energy vehicles. Background technique [0002] Alternative energy vehicles are becoming more and more popular with further technological developments. Currently, alternative energy vehicles include electric, hybrid electric, fuel cell powertrains (hydrogen), compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Although the potential hazards associated with gasoline and diesel fuels are well known in the event of a vehicle crash, first responders are less familiar with alternative energy systems and therefore require special training. Furthermore, increased variability in vehicle design confronts rescuers with uncertainty as to which powertrain is encountered in an emergency situation. [0003] For first responders, electric, hybrid electric and fuel cell vehicles present a risk of possible shock due to the presence of high voltage batteries and other com...
