The implementation of air bags has been shown to offer passenger safety in a collision.

In this paper, the implementation of MR damper in reducing the impact force on driver during frontal car crash is studied through MATLAB simulation.

In this paper two control techniques; a conventional Proportional Integral and Derivative (PID) and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) controllers are proposed for MR damper current control.
