One example method of operation may include identifying a vehicle collision event via one or more sensors disposed in one or more sensor circuits affixed to a vehicle body of a vehicle via one or more multi-layered removable stickers, responsive to identifying the vehicle collision event, identifying vehicle collision event data including a geolocation of the vehicle and a timestamp of the vehicle collision event, and storing, in a wirelessly accessible memory of the one or more sensor circuits, the vehicle collision event data received during the vehicle collision event.

A cover assembly includes a cover and a bracket. The cover conceals and protects the electronic device with lower peripheral portions of the cover at least partially surrounding the electronic device and contacting the floor of a passenger compartment of a vehicle. The bracket is attached to the cover and is installed to the floor of the vehicle adjacent to the electronic device. The bracket further has a central section that extends upward away from the cover. A center console structure is installed to the floor defining a hollow interior. The electronic device, the cover and the bracket are located within the hollow interior of the center console structure and are covered by the center console structure. A portion of the center consoled is connected to the central section of the bracket within the hollow interior.

A crash sensor system is provided for a vehicle. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) disposed on the vehicle generally along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The ECU has a first accelerometer to measure longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle and a second accelerometer to measure lateral acceleration of the vehicle during a crash event; and a processor circuit. Front crash satellite sensors are electrically connected to the ECU and are mounted at the front of the vehicle to detect a front or a rear crash event. Each of the front crash satellite sensors has a polarity defining a sensing direction. When a front or rear crash event occurs, the first accelerometer is constructed and arranged to determine if the crash occurred at the front or at the rear of the vehicle, regardless of the polarity of the front crash satellite sensors.

The mounting position or the mounting angle of an external environment detection device relative to a vehicle body is prevented from changing even after experiencing a light collision, and a favorable external appearance of the vehicle body in a mounting part of the external environment detection device is ensured. A mounting structure includes a bumper side garnish (42) having an opening (44) facing a prescribed detecting direction of a laser radar device (38), and a device side garnish (46) extending from an outer periphery of the detection device, and including a lip (50) that overlaps with an opening edge (44) of the bumper side garnish (42) located on a periphery (44A) of the opening (44).

Provided is a highly reliable electronic control device which has not only an effect of reducing costs but also an effect of facilitating a manufacturing process. To include a control board; a connector including a terminal connected to the control board; and a housing case to which the control board and the connector are fixed. The control board has a part sealed with a sealing resin. The connector is disposed at a position facing another part of the control board, being isolated from the sealing resin by the control board and the housing case.

A side airbag apparatus has an inflatable side airbag, an inflator which supplies an inside of said side airbag with gas, a base which includes an accommodating space in which said folded side airbag and inflator are accommodated, and a harness end connected to said inflator to supply it with power for ignition. The base member has a backside surface which faces an inside of the seat and a frontside surface, an opening for the accommodating space protruding toward the frontside surface formed on the backside surface, a protrusion portion constituting said accommodating space at the backside surface formed on the frontside surface, and a harness supporting portion which fixes a portion of said harness downwardly extending the inflator toward the vehicle floor so as to restrict lateral and vertical movements of the harness relative to the frontside surface, is formed below the protrusion portion.

A vehicle includes a vehicle door and a diaphragm. The vehicle door includes an inner door panel and an outer door panel that define a door cavity therebetween. The diaphragm is disposed within the door cavity and is attached to an inner surface of the outer door panel. The diaphragm cooperates with the inner surface of the outer door panel to define a diaphragm cavity.

A cover assembly includes a cover and a bracket. The cover conceals and protects the electronic device with lower peripheral portions of the cover at least partially surrounding the electronic device and contacting the floor of a passenger compartment of a vehicle. The bracket is attached to the cover and is installed to the floor of the vehicle adjacent to the electronic device. The bracket further has a central section that extends upward away from the cover. A center console structure is installed to the floor defining a hollow interior. The electronic device, the cover and the bracket are located within the hollow interior of the center console structure and are covered by the center console structure. A portion of the center consoled is connected to the central section of the bracket within the hollow interior.

An air-bag apparatus includes: a bag body that is provided on a vehicle seat and that is inflated and expanded at a time of an impact input and prevents at least an upper part of a body of an occupant seated on the vehicle seat from being separated from a seat back of the vehicle seat; an inflator that supplies a gas to the bag body at a time of an impact input; a body size detection part that detects a body size of the occupant seated on the vehicle seat; and an expansion degree adjustment part that adjusts a degree of an inflation expansion of the bag body in accordance with the body size of the occupant detected by the body size detection part.

The invention relates to a cable conduit device for connection cables of an airbag module, comprising at least one cable duct (10) that includes retaining means (11) for at least one cable (30), and at least one contact plug (20) to be connected to a coil spring on a steering column; the contact plug (20) is or can be coupled in a twist-proof manner to the cable duct (10).
