Automobile occupant accident protection means operating control system in which driving conditions and driving environment are analyzed to determine probability of impact and to trigger protection

摘要

The control system (2,3,4) is designed to control the evolvement of trigger steps according to their categories and in time as a function of the impact probability data. The occupant protection means includes occupant retaining belts and impact energy dissipaters (airbags). The occupant protection means uses the following categories: reversible and non careless driving action (R1); reversible and careless driving action (R2); reversible and dangerous driving action (R3); irreversible and non careless driving action (I1); irreversible and careless driving action (I2); irreversible and dangerous driving action (I3).
