An assembly includes a track and a base movable along the track. The assembly includes an airbag supported by the base. The assembly includes a pyrotechnic device designed to move the base along the track.

A monitoring system includes an imaging unit configured to capture a depth image including a distance to a monitoring target person in a vehicle cabin, an estimation unit configured to estimate a three-dimensional human body model of the monitoring target person from the depth image captured by the imaging unit, and a monitoring unit configured to detect a get-off motion by monitoring a motion of a monitoring target portion of the human body model approaching the monitoring coordinate regarding a door manipulation in the cabin on the basis of the human body model estimated by the estimation unit.

An impact motion tracking system for tracking an object in a three-dimensional space includes a motion tracking sensor that includes a housing, a magnetic measurement module, an inertial measurement module, and a transmitter module, which generates magnetic fields. The magnetic measurement module measures magnetic fields generated by the transmitter module and has a fixed orientation with the object. The inertial measurement module measures a linear acceleration or an angular acceleration and has a fixed positional relationship with the object. An electronic processor receives measured signals from the motion tracking sensor and derives an impact motion information for the object based on received measured signals from the inertial measurement module. The electronic processor derives a magnetic motion information for the object based on received measured signals from the magnetic measurement module and periodically calibrates impact motion information with magnetic motion information.

Disclosed herein method and device for personalized active safety control. The method includes: generating input data including body information of a vehicle occupant and occupancy state information of the occupant; outputting initial control data of a restraint device of a vehicle based on collision data that responds to occurrence of a collision of the vehicle; producing injury risk information for each piece of adjustment restraint information by using a safety control model based on the adjustment restraint information, in which a variable adjustment parameter is applied to the initial control data, and the input data; generating, by the safety control model, optimal restraint control information among the adjustment restraint information, based on the injury risk information; and controlling the restraint device based on the optimal restraint control information.

A vehicle occupant monitoring apparatus includes two or more imaging modules and a controller. The imaging modules each include: a light-emitting device configured to emit and apply light to an occupant in a vehicle; and an imaging device configured to perform imaging of the occupant to obtain an imaging image. The controller is configured to cause the light-emitting device of each of the imaging modules to apply the light when the imaging device of corresponding one of the imaging modules performs the imaging. The controller is configured to cause, in a case where contact of the vehicle with another object is predicted or detected, the imaging device to perform the imaging to obtain the imaging image while causing the light-emitting devices of the imaging modules to apply the light together, and monitor the position of the occupant on the basis of the obtained imaging image.

A getting-off support device of a vehicle continues to issue an alarm for a predetermined time when a physical body condition indicating that a physical body that obstructs getting-off of an occupant in the vehicle exists around the vehicle and a getting-off condition indicating that the occupant in the vehicle intends to get off the vehicle are satisfied, and prolongs the time of issuing the alarm when both of the physical body condition and the getting-off condition are further satisfied while the issuing of the alarm is continued.

A methodology, including: receiving first input related to expected states of a vehicle and another vehicle or object at impact event initiation with positions, orientations, and velocities as parameters used for impact event evaluation; receiving second input related to expected vehicle occupant position and position transfer during a pre-impact event maneuver; and simulating an impact event involving the vehicle and the another vehicle or object using both the first input and the second input to quantify the performance of a safety system of the vehicle with a combined effect from a collision avoidance feature and an injury prevention feature. The method further includes filtering out a case where a vehicle occupant pre-crash position excursion is expected to exceed a predetermined threshold.

An occupant protection apparatus includes: an airbag configured to be stored in a head rest or a seat back of a vehicle seat, and the airbag being formed as a single bag that is configured to cover a head of an occupant and including a front inflating part and a right and left pair of lateral inflating parts; a three-point seat belt device including webbing equipped with a lap belt and a shoulder belt, and a belt take-up mechanism, and the belt take-up mechanism applying tension to the webbing; and a control unit that, in the event that an impact to the vehicle has been predicted or detected, activates the belt take-up mechanism before inflating and deploying the airbag.

A vehicle occupant protection apparatus includes a seat for an occupant of a vehicle and an airbag device. The airbag device includes a front airbag configured to deploy in front of an upper body of the occupant in the seat. The front airbag is capable of deploying so as to receive the upper body that has been displaced forward from a seating position on the seat. The front airbag includes a pair of shoulder-receiving projections capable of receiving both shoulders of the upper body that has been displaced forward from the seating position by projecting rearward at both sides of the front airbag in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle in a deployed state.

A method for adapting a triggering algorithm of a personal restraint device of a vehicle on the basis of a detected vehicle interior state of the vehicle. The method comprises detecting of key points of a vehicle occupant by an optical sensor device, ascertaining a vehicle occupant posture of the vehicle occupant based on the connection of the detected key points to a skeleton-like representation of body parts of the vehicle occupant, wherein the skeleton-like representation reflects the relative position and orientation of individual body parts of the vehicle occupant, predicting a future vehicle occupant posture of the vehicle occupant based on a predicted future position of at least one of the key points, and modifying the triggering algorithm of the personal restraint device based on the predicted future posture of the vehicle occupant. A control device for adapting a triggering algorithm of a personal restraint device is also disclosed.
