A secondary bar securing device (3) of a safety bar (4) of an amusement ride has a primary securing device that keeps the safety bar (4) in an angular position adapted to the anatomy of the passenger during travel of the amusement ride, and first and second blocking elements (21, 22) arranged at a distance (25) to each other. In the event of a malfunction of the primary securing device, the safety bar (4) can be moved in a tolerance opening angle, which correlates to the distance (25) between the blocking elements (21, 22). If the tolerance opening angle is exceeded, one of the blocking elements (21, 22) block the safety bar (4).

An information presentation control device includes: an analyzer to calculate a degree of risk based on information regarding an object located around a vehicle; an occupant monitor to determine whether a driver is aware of approach of the object, based on information obtained by imaging the driver with a camera; an image processor to cause at least one of the displays to perform alerting display, based on the degree of risk; and a sound processor to cause the sound output device to generate, as an alerting sound, a sound whose sound image is controlled so that a virtual sound source is localized at a position of at least one of the at least one display, based on the degree of risk. When the driver is aware of the object, the sound processor stops generation of the alerting sound or decreases a sound volume of the alerting sound.

In a drive assistance device, a required space estimation unit estimates a required space which is a space required for a subject vehicle to complete a starting. A required time estimation unit calculates an estimated required time which is an estimate value of a time required to complete the starting at a time of starting the subject vehicle. A collision time estimation unit calculates an estimated collision time which is an estimate value of a time until when an obstacle reaches the required space. A start margin calculation unit calculates a start margin indicating a temporal margin for the subject vehicle to complete the starting until the obstacle reaches the required space based on the estimated required time and the estimated collision time. The notification processing unit notifies a driver of the subject vehicle of the start margin.

A parking control method includes: performing parking control of moving a vehicle to a target parking position on the basis of an operation command acquired from an operator located outside the vehicle; when the parking control to the target parking position is suspended and the vehicle leaves the target parking position, calculating a moving direction of the vehicle on the basis of a parking direction when the vehicle is parked at a next target parking position; and moving the vehicle in the moving direction.

The airbag includes a bag body that deploys and inflates to cover the interior side of the window, and a strap having an upper end attached to an upper window frame, a lower end attached to a lateral frame, and an intermediate portion connected to the body. The strap has an insertion portion, which is inserted through the insertion hole of the body, on the intermediate portion, so that the part from the upper end to the insertion portion is an outer side portion, which is placed on the outside of the body in the inflated state, and the part from the insertion portion to the lower end is an inner side portion. When the inflation of the body is completed, the inner side portion is pressed to the inside of the vehicle by the front edge side inflation portion, and generates tension in the strap and the body.

An electronic module assembly (EMA) for use in controlling one or more personal restraint systems. A programmed processor within the EMA is configured to determine when a personal restraint system associated with each seat in a vehicle should be deployed. In addition, the programmed processor is configured to perform a diagnostic self-test to determine if the EMA and the personal restraint systems are operational. In one embodiment, results of the diagnostic self-test routine are displayed on a display included on the electronic module assembly. In an alternative embodiment, the results of the diagnostic self-test routine are transmitted via a wireless transceiver to a remote device. The remote device can include a wireless interrogator or can be a remote computer system such as a cabin management computer system.

The invention relates to a passenger receptacle for an amusement ride (50), comprising a receiving portion (12) for receiving a passenger, a retaining device (20), which is adjustable between an open position, in which the access to the receiving portion (12) is possible for the passenger, and a closed position, in which the received passenger is held in the receiving portion (12), and a securing device (26), which interacts with the retaining device (20) in such a way that whenever the retaining device moves away, or wants to move away, from the closed position by a selectable degree, a further movement of the retaining device away from the closed position is blocked. The invention further relates to a method for operating such a passenger receptacle (10) and to an amusement ride (50) having such a passenger receptacle (10).

Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing platforms that utilize machine learning to reduce false positive/negative collision output generation. A computing platform may apply machine learning algorithms on received data to generate a collision output. In response to generating the collision output indicating a collision, the computing platform may identify a data collection location. If the data collection location is within a predetermined radius of a false positive collection location, the computing platform may modify the collision output to indicate a non-collision. If the data collection location is not within the predetermined radius, the computing platform may compute a score using telematics data and compare the score to a predetermined threshold. If the score does not exceed the predetermined threshold, the computing platform may modify the collision output to indicate a non-collision. If the score exceeds the predetermined threshold, the computing platform may affirm the collision output indicating a collision.

A collision damage reduction device to be applied to a vehicle provided with a door and a side sill includes an airbag and a door beam. The airbag is deployed from a container disposed on a lower side of the door to a region on a vehicle-widthwise outside of the door. The airbag includes a first air chamber and a second air chamber. After being deployed, the first air chamber has an upper end disposed higher than the door beam and a lower end disposed lower than an upper end of the side sill, at least within a range in which its position in a vehicle front-rear direction overlaps with a seating surface of a seat. The second air chamber extends across a lower part of the first air chamber and the container, and has a lower internal pressure than the first air chamber after being deployed.
