A work vehicle includes a frame assembly and an attachment assembly. The attachment assembly has an attachment end pivotally connected to the frame assembly and a distal end configured for receiving a variable load. At least one force sensor senses at least one force associated with the attachment end. The at least one force sensor provides an output signal representing the sensed at least one force. An inclination sensor senses an inclination associated with the frame assembly and provides an output signal representing the sensed inclination. An electrical processing circuit is configured for receiving the output signal from the at least one force sensor, determining a value of a couple at the frame assembly which is associated with the sensed at least one force, comparing the couple with a threshold value which is dependent on the sensed inclination, and controlling the controllable output dependent on the comparison.

The present invention provides an airbag apparatus for a two-wheeler vehicle. The airbag apparatus includes at least one front airbag mounted near each leg of a rider of the two-wheeler vehicle, the at least one front airbag to be deployed and inflated for protecting the knees, legs and feet of the rider during emergency conditions. Further, the airbag apparatus includes at least one rear airbag mounted near each leg of a pillion rider of the two-wheeler vehicle, the at least one rear airbag to be deployed and inflated for protecting the knees, legs and feet of the pillion rider during emergency conditions. Yet further, the airbag apparatus includes at least one inflator configured to supply inflation gas to the at least one front airbag and the at least one rear airbag when activated. Finally, the airbag apparatus includes at least one sensor configured to track at least one safety parameter of the two-wheeler vehicle and activate the inflator, when a predetermined threshold of the at least one safety parameter is reached.

A method for controlling actuation of an actuatable restraint in response to a vehicle rollover event includes detecting whether the vehicle (12) is being driven off-road. The method also includes determining whether the vehicle (12) is undergoing a roll event (99) that would warrant actuation of the actuatable restraint (20) if the vehicle was being driven on-road. The method further includes actuating the actuatable restraint (20) in response to determining that a roll acceleration (D RATE) of the vehicle (20) indicates that the roll event is continuing. A vehicle safety system (10) includes an actuatable restraint and a controller (50) configured to control actuation of the actuatable restraint according to this method.

A vehicle comprising a safety device comprising a supporting member having a first end provided with a joint part which is pivotally mounted on a side wall of the vehicle, and a second end configured to bear on the ground. The vehicle further comprises an actuator connected to the supporting member and configured to move it relative to the vehicle between an inactive position in which the supporting member is located along the vehicle side wall, with the second end at a distance from the ground, and a safety position in which the supporting member extends between the vehicle side wall and the ground, to limit vehicle roll by means of the second end bearing on the ground.

A seat belt retractor which is mounted in a mounting space formed on a backrest of a seat installed in a vehicle and comprises a spindle module including webbing and a spindle having the webbing wound on the outer surface thereof, wherein the spindle is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle corresponding to the thickness direction of the backrest in the mounting space, such that by rotating the direction in which the spindle, on which the webbing is wound, is installed, the width in the longitudinal direction mounted on the backrest of the seat can be minimized, thereby making the retractor more slender.

A safety system for improving road compatibility of a vehicle includes a monitoring system and an integrated safety domain control unit. The monitoring system includes a vehicle external information monitoring module and a vehicle body posture monitoring module. The integrated safety domain control unit is configured to compute a collision condition between the vehicle and an obstacle based on data acquired by the vehicle external information monitoring module and the vehicle body posture monitoring module, the collision condition including a collision relative speed and a collision overlap rate, and determine, based on the collision relative speed and the collision overlap rate, whether to deploy an external airbag. A determination condition for controlling triggering of deployment of the external airbag includes determining whether the collision relative speed is less than a first speed threshold and/or whether the collision overlap rate is less than a first overlap rate threshold. The present disclosure further relates to a safety apparatus and method for improving road compatibility of a vehicle, and a medium, as well as a vehicle safety system, a vehicle safety apparatus, a method for enhancing safety of a vehicle, and a readable storage medium.
