Abstract: Airbag systems are important to a car’s safety protection system. To further improve the reliability of the system, this paper analyzes the failure mechanism of automotive airbag systems and establishes a dynamic fault tree model. The dynamic fault tree model is transformed into a continuous-time Bayesian network by introducing a unit step function and an impulse function, from which the failure probability of the system is calculated. Finally, the system reliability and average life are calculated and analyzed and compared with the sequential binary decision diagram method. The results show that the method can obtain more accurate system reliability and effectively identify the weak parts of the automotive airbag system, to a certain extent compensating for the lack of computational complexity of dynamic Bayesian networks in solving system reliability problems with continuous failure processes.
