A saddle riding-type vehicle includes a retainer that is provided behind a head pipe; an inflator; and an airbag that is housed in the retainer, inflates by gas discharged by the inflator, and is deployed in front of an occupant. The airbag includes a proximal end portion that is positioned in the retainer when the airbag is deployed and an outward deployment portion that extends from the proximal end portion and is deployed to the outside of the retainer when the airbag is deployed. A tab is provided on the proximal end portion, and the tab is fixed to the retainer.

The present invention relates to a coupling-releasing device for airbag actuator cable 1 for vehicles having two or more wheels, said airbag being contained in a wearable jacket or coat. The coupling-releasing device of an airbag actuator cable 1 according to the present invention comprises at least one coupling unit 2,2′ adapted to be installed on board a vehicle and actuator means 4,4′,4″ operatively connected to said at least one coupling unit 2,2′ to operate said coupling unit 2,2′ between a first closing configuration adapted to retain said end of said airbag actuator cable and a second opening configuration adapted to release said end of said airbag actuator cable.

A saddle riding vehicle airbag device can be disposed compactly and the airbag can be deployed vertically upward. In the saddle riding vehicle airbag device provided with a retainer that is provided in front of a seat for a rider, an inflator and an airbag that is housed in the retainer, is inflated by means of a gas discharged from the inflator and is deployed in front of the rider, in which the retainer is provided with an L-shaped airbag passage that causes the airbag to deploy upward in a left-right direction, and, in a deployed state, the airbag is formed bilaterally asymmetrical with respect to a left-right center line of the airbag.

A representative configuration of an airbag module including a folded or rolled airbag cushion, an inflator provided in the airbag cushion, and a case type housing for stowing the airbag cushion, wherein the housing is rectangular shaped in cross-sectional view and includes a first member forming at least one side wall of the rectangular shape, a second member that forms the remaining two or more side walls of the rectangular shape, and a rotational shaft connecting the first member and the second member enabling mutual relative rotation, and upon expansion and deployment of the airbag cushion, one of either the first member or second member rotates relative to the other around the rotational shaft causing the opening of an upper part of the case type housing to open up.

To be able to compactly dispose an airbag device for a riding type vehicle provided with an airbag deployable upward. An airbag device for a riding type vehicle that is compactly disposed and can be deployed upward, includes: an inflator; an airbag adapted to be expanded by gas discharged from the inflator; and a retainer accommodating the airbag. The airbag is deployed upward from an opening of the retainer. The retainer is provided below a meter provided in front of a handle for steering.

A method and an apparatus for monitoring a motorcycle. Based on the acceleration-relevant data, a vehicle motion and a vehicle position in three-dimensional space are estimated. The vehicle position in space is analyzed and is evaluated as a normal or a critical riding state. A detection direction of a sensor unit is predefined in such a way that in an upright normal resting position of the motorcycle the detection direction lies in a horizontal plane, and the detected acceleration-relevant data encompass a first acceleration component in a longitudinal vehicle direction and a second acceleration component in a transverse vehicle direction. A riding state evaluated as critical is plausibilized with the estimated vehicle motion in order to recognize a critical resting position after an accident. An emergency call is generated when a critical resting position after an accident is recognized.

To be able to compactly dispose an airbag device at a front portion of a saddled vehicle. An airbag device for a saddled vehicle including: an inflator; an airbag adapted to be expanded by gas discharged from the inflator; and, a retainer accommodating the airbag, the airbag being deployed upward from an opening of the retainer, in which the retainer is disposed between a meter provided in front of a handle for steering and a headlight provided in front of the meter in a side view of the vehicle.

A vehicle side door includes: a door main body; a mirror stay fixed to the door main body so as to be at least partially placed outwardly from the door main body, the mirror stay including a support portion placed outwardly from the door main body; and a mirror unit including a mirror holder supported by the support portion, and a mirror supported by the mirror holder, wherein: the door main body includes an outer panel constituting an outer face of the door main body, an inner panel placed inwardly from the outer panel and fixed to the outer panel, and a reinforcing member fixed to the inner panel or the outer panel; and the mirror stay is fixed to the reinforcing member.

A vehicle accident notification device includes a processor that determines whether a vehicle accident occurs and a degree of the vehicle accident based on a sensing result of a sensor and vehicle information received from a device of the host vehicle and automatically provides a notification of the vehicle accident, a communicator that communicates with other devices, and a storage storing a collision reference value that is used to determine the degree of the vehicle accident in advance.
