发明名称 Method and system for controlling safety of a bi-fuel vehicle
摘要 A method and system for controlling safety of a bi-fuel vehicle may safely control the bi-fuel vehicle when it is in an accident. The method may include detecting a pressure of a vaporizer configured to decompress and vaporize liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) that is one fuel of the bi-fuel vehicle, determining whether the detected pressure of the vaporizer is equal to or higher than a predetermined high pressure, determining whether the detected pressure of the vaporizer is equal to or lower than a predetermined low pressure, determining whether an airbag has been inflated, and switching to a gasoline mode configured to use gasoline if at least one of the detected pressure is equal to or higher than the predetermined high pressure, the detected pressure of the vaporizer is equal to or lower than the predetermined low pressure, and/or the airbag has been inflated is determined to be true.

主权项 1. A method of controlling safety of a bi-fuel vehicle, comprising: detecting a pressure of a vaporizer configured to decompress and vaporize liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) that is one fuel of the bi-fuel vehicle; determining whether the detected pressure of the vaporizer is equal to or higher than a predetermined high pressure; determining whether the detected pressure of the vaporizer is equal to or lower than a predetermined low pressure; determining whether an airbag has been inflated; and switching to a gasoline mode configured to use gasoline if at least one of the detected pressure is equal to or higher than the predetermined high pressure, the detected pressure of the vaporizer is equal to or lower than the predetermined low pressure, or the airbag has been inflated is determined to be true.
