AB  - The aim of the study is to evaluate the tank as a potential place for motorcycle airbags. The study compiles the efforts of the CTU in Prague, HTW Dresden, as well as JAWA and DELPHI, for the improvement of the passive safety of motorcycle riders. The tank shapes are taken into consideration, as to their effects on passive safety, including their suitability or unsuitability. The possibilities of the software MADYMO as a tool for an initial blue-print of any motorcycle airbag if placed on the tank are also described.
