DEVICE FOR REINFORCING VEHICLE FUEL TANK
20210138894 · 2021-05-13 · ·

A device for reinforcing vehicle fuel tank improves a structure of a rigid reinforcement pillar mounted in an enclosed fuel tank by maintaining stiffness of the reinforcement pillar in a state in which the fuel tank is under positive pressure and an engine negative pressure acts thereon as well as inducing breakage of the reinforcement pillar when a large impact applies, such as in the event of vehicle collision, thereby preventing a fused portion between upper and lower plates of the fuel tank from rupturing.

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION
20210139039 · 2021-05-13 ·

A device for controlling sudden unintended acceleration according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a sensor for detecting a current acceleration of a vehicle, a first controller that calculates a motor torque command value for driving a motor, calculates an expected acceleration of the vehicle based on the motor torque command value, and compares the expected acceleration with the current acceleration, and a second controller that compares the motor torque command value with a preset value. Therefore, the device may determine a cause of the sudden unintended acceleration and block the sudden unintended acceleration based on the determination result to improve safety of a driver.
