A vehicle structure includes a body, a bracket provided on the body, a bumper cover attached to the bracket, and an object detection device attached to the bracket.

A pressure sensor layout structure includes: a bumper beam; an absorber disposed at a front of the bumper beam; a pressure tube arranged between the bumper beam and the absorber; a pressure sensor attached to an end of the pressure tube; and a sensor cover fixed to a rear surface of the absorber, wherein the sensor cover is fixed to an end portion in a vehicle width direction of the absorber, at two or more positions which are located variously in the vehicle width direction.

An autonomous robot vehicle in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure includes a conveyance system and a compartment coupled to the conveyance system. The conveyance system autonomously drives the autonomous robotic vehicle between one or more storage locations and one or more delivery locations. The compartment receives one or more items stored at the one more storage locations. The compartment includes a temperature control module configured to maintain the compartment within a predetermined temperature range to provide temperature control for the one or more items as the conveyance system drives between the one or more storage locations and the one or more delivery locations.

A resettable bracket is herein presented. The bracket is configured to mount a transceiver to a vehicle. The bracket includes a first piece and a second piece configured to be pivotably connected to each other. A docking station is mounted to the first piece. The docking station includes a bluff, an over-travel stop, and a plurality of arms configured to restrict pivotable movement of the second piece in relation to the first piece. A fitting element is mounted to the second piece. The fitting element is configured to dock into the docking station to substantially create the pivotable connection between the first and the second piece. A spring is installed at the pivotable connection between the first and second pieces. The spring is configured to allow the second piece to automatically return to a default position after being pivoted in relation to the first piece.

Vehicle sensor systems include modular sensor kits having one or more pods (e.g., sensor roof pods) and/or one or more bumpers (e.g., sensor bumpers). The sensor roof pods are configured to couple to a vehicle. A sensor roof pod may be positioned atop a vehicle proximate a front of the vehicle, proximate a back of the vehicle, or at any position along a top side of the vehicle being coupled, for example, using a mounting shim or a tripod. The sensor roof pods can include sensors (e.g., LIDAR sensors, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, etc.), processing units, control systems (e.g., temperature and/or environmental control systems), and communication devices (e.g., networking and/or wireless devices).

The present invention provides a fixing device for installing a pressure-type air bag sensor, the fixing device comprising: a disc-shaped holder; a cover coupled to the holder and having a sensor part disposed on the top thereof; and a connector housing disposed on the bottom of the cover, wherein the holder has a holder body formed in a disc shape, an outer wall having a predetermined height is formed along the outer circumference of the holder body, a ring-shaped seal is formed through insert-injection molding to have a predetermined radius inside the holder body, and protrusion parts having a predetermined curvature are formed at the upper surface part and the lower surface part of the holder body.

Disclosed are impact sensor arrangements for active hood systems, methods for making and for using such impact sensor arrangements, and motor vehicles with active hood systems using such impact sensor arrangements. Disclosed, for example, is an impact sensor arrangement for an active hood system of a motor vehicle. An active hood system actuator is selectively actuable to displace the vehicle's engine hood. The impact sensor arrangement includes a sensor connected to a sensing tube to detect a characteristic change of the sensing tube and responsively output an actuator trigger signal. First and second blocks, each formed from a high-density material, attach to the vehicle body adjacent the bumper and collectively define an internal channel within which is nested the sensing tube. The first block is movably attached to the second block such that displacement of one block with respect to the other initiates the characteristic change of the sensing tube.

A body rear structure of a battery electric motor vehicle includes a rear bottom part. A bottom side of the body rear structure has at least one plastics sacrificial part which is fastened to the rear bottom part and extends downwards away from the rear bottom part and which is so configured that it forms a deformation element in the event of mechanical contact with a wheel stop at an electric charging station.

An apparatus includes a center component defining a center chamber therein and first and second side components defining first and second chambers therein, respectively. The first and second side components are coupled to opposing ends of the center component with the first and second chambers in fluid communication with the center chamber. The center, first side and second side components are configured to extend substantially across a width of a vehicle. The apparatus further includes first, second and third pressure sensors in communication with the first, second and center chambers, respectively.

The invention relates to protection devices providing operational safety for vehicles, mainly of agricultural purpose. The technical result consists of enhancing the efficiency of safety device through the improvement of operational reliability in frontal and lateral collisions and simplicity of restoring its structural integrity after collision. The vehicle protection device includes a base, and a barrier located in front of the base and fastened thereto by means of at least two struts having one end attached to the barrier and the other end to the base. Each of the struts is made of at least two separate rod-shaped elements featuring holes along their longitudinal axes, and containing detachable joints at their ends; said elements are configured to enable them to stay connected with each other by means of a flexible element passing through the holes of all rod-shaped elements of the struts. The struts are also configured to make their mutual disconnection possible under axial or lateral load. Moreover, said flexible element is configured to interact with a base-mounted mechanism for activating the sensor of the vehicle stopping system.
