A vehicle-mounted system has a bumper (2), an airbag (8), a pedestrian sensor (3), and an inflator (9). The bumper (2) is mounted to the front end of the vehicle front body (1a). A hood (10) is mounted to the front body (1a), to the rear of the bumper (2). The airbag (8) is disposed in a region between the front end of the bumper and the rear end of the hood. The sensor (3) detects or pre-detects a collision between a pedestrian (M) and the vehicle (1), and generates a collision signal. The inflator (9) receives the collision signal, in response to which it generates and supplies gas so as to expand the airbag (8). The airbag (8) expands forward, inclined upwardly, to cover an upper surface of the bumper (2) and a front end of the hood (10). The airbag (8) has a high-rigidity part (1) on at least a front side thereof for receiving the gas from the inflator (9). The high-rigidity part (11) receives an impact force from the pedestrian (M). The airbag expansion direction substantially opposes the direction of exertion of the impact force. <IMAGE> |
