Vehicle airbag device

Abstract

Abstract Translated from Japanese (57)【要約】 【目的】 自動車と歩行者、自転車等弱者の不慮の衝突 時におけるこれら弱者側の損害を最小限に抑え、歩行 者、自転車等弱者を保護する車両のエアバッグ装置を得 る。 【構成】 車両前端部あるいは後端部に収納され車両進 行方向に展開するエアバッグ、前記エアバッグの展開駆 動手段、車両前方障害物検知手段、車両走行状態検知手 段、車両前方障害物検知手段及び車両走行状態検知手段 の出力より車両前方障害物との衝突危険度を判定する衝 突予測手段を設けて、前記衝突予測手段により車両前方 障害物との衝突が予測された場合に前記展開駆動手段を 励起して前記エアバッグを展開するように構成されてい る。 (57) [Summary] [Purpose] To obtain an airbag device for a vehicle that protects vulnerable persons such as pedestrians and bicycles by minimizing damage to the vulnerable persons such as automobiles and pedestrians and bicycles in the event of an accidental collision. . An airbag that is housed at a front end portion or a rear end portion of a vehicle and is deployed in a vehicle traveling direction, deployment driving means for the airbag, vehicle front obstacle detection means, vehicle running state detection means, vehicle front obstacle detection means, and Collision predicting means for determining the risk of collision with an obstacle ahead of the vehicle based on the output of the vehicle traveling state detecting means is provided, and when the collision predicting means predicts a collision with an obstacle ahead of the vehicle, the deployment drive means is provided. It is configured to be excited to deploy the airbag.
