Abstract - Motorcyclists and pedestrians colliding head-on with heavy vehicles are the primary cause of fatalities in traffic accidents. With a straightforward modification to the heavy vehicle's design, as suggested in the project, the percentage of fatalities resulting from collisions between pedestrians and motorcyclists can be reduced. The pedestrian airbag system's design and operation will be modified according to the model suggested in this study. The modification of the pedestrian air bag system also affects the system's overall design. The modified design will be integrated as safety accessories into the heavy vehicle. In order to achieve better safety conditions when getting integrated with heavy vehicles, this study relates with redesigning and retouching the model of the pedestrian airbag system.
