PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an occupant protecting device for a vehicle allowing optimal occupant protection without delay in response to the degree of an impact force in collision generated in the collision of a vehicle. SOLUTION: Before the collision occurs actually, data related to the impact force in collision are sampled from a collision expected object (S200), and an operation mode of the occupant protecting device such as an air bag is selected based on the data (S206). Thus, the optimal occupant protection can be performed without delay in response to the degree of the impact force generated in the collision of the vehicle. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
