The device includes a sensor device that obtains at least one of an angle between the personal mobility and a ground, an amount of impact on the personal mobility, or a speed of the personal mobility, and a determination device that determines whether the accident of the personal mobility has occurred based on the at least one of the angle, the amount of impact, or the speed.

Vehicular collision detection system with safety feature control functions responsive to estimation of collision severity
11958424 · 2024-04-16 · ·

A vehicular safety feature control system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle that views exterior of the equipped vehicle. The vehicular safety feature control system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) for processing image data captured by the camera to detect presence of objects. The ECU, responsive to processing of image data captured by the camera, detects an object on a collision course with the equipped vehicle. The ECU, responsive to detecting the object on the collision course with the equipped vehicle, classifies the detected object. The ECU estimates a mass of the detected object based on the classification. The ECU estimates a kinetic energy of a potential collision and, based on the estimated kinetic energy of the potential collision, estimates a severity of the potential collision. The ECU controls a safety feature of the equipped vehicle based on the estimated severity of the potential collision.

Safety system for preventing a vehicle door from opening into traffic

A system for preventing a door of a vehicle from opening into an object includes a detection module configured to identify an object within a danger zone of the vehicle and detect the opening of the door. The system further includes a locking mechanism coupled to the detection module and configured to lock the door in a partially open position if the object is identified within the danger zone and the opening of the door is detected.

METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING ALERTS OF OPENING DOORS
20190232863 · 2019-08-01 · ·

Vehicle systems for providing alerts of opening doors are disclosed. A system includes a camera configured to output image data of a vehicle occupant, an external environment sensor configured to output an external environment sensor output signal, one or more processors communicatively coupled to the camera and the external environment sensor, one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, and machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules. The system receives the image data of the vehicle occupant, predicts whether a door of the vehicle is going to be opened based on the image data of the vehicle occupant, determines whether an object is present based on the external environmental sensor output signal, and generates an alert in response to predicting that the door of the vehicle is going to be opened and determining that the object is present.
