A vehicle airbag control system has an airbag module, a detector and an electronic controller. The airbag module has an airbag that is configured to be positioned below a vehicle floor panel in an undeployed state. The airbag that is configured to be positioned to be above the vehicle floor panel in the deployed state. The detector is configured to detect a presence of an obstruction over the airbag module at a location above the vehicle floor panel. The electronic controller is programmed to deploy the airbag based on a detected result of the detector.

A side airbag apparatus has an inflatable side airbag, an inflator which supplies the side airbag with gas, a base member in which the folded side airbag and inflator are accommodated, and a harness connected to the inflator to supply it with power for ignition. The base member has a backside surface which faces an inside of the seat, a frontside surface, a protrusion portion formed on the frontside surface, and a harness supporting portion below the protrusion portion which fixes a portion of the harness so as to restrict lateral and vertical movements of the harness relative to the frontside surface.

A vehicle structure material strengthening system and a vehicle containing the same are described. The vehicle structure material strengthening system has at least one collision sensor, a processor, and a power supply. The collision sensor is suitable for being mounted on the vehicle. The processor is electrically connected to the collision sensor for receiving a collision signal from the collision sensor, and determines whether to transmit a power activation signal according to the collision signal. The power supply is electrically connected to the processor and the vehicle. When the collision signal is greater than or equal to a collision threshold, the processor transmits the power activation signal to the power supply, wherein the power supply transmits a circuit to the vehicle according to the power activation signal; or when the collision signal is less than the collision threshold, the processor does not transmit the power activation signal.

A housing for a circuit includes a top wall that defines an aperture configured for receiving a fastener, and a bottom wall integrally formed with the top wall, positioned directly below the aperture in a height direction, and extended across the aperture with respect to the height direction. The circuit is mounted on a bottom side of the bottom wall. The top wall and the bottom wall define an interior of the housing, and cooperate to obstruct egress of debris from the interior of the housing to the circuit at the bottom side of the bottom wall.

A retainer member is equipped with a microphone facing portion, a drain path, and a stamped wall portion. The microphone facing portion is formed in a cylindrical shape matching an ultrasonic microphone is disposed outside the ultrasonic microphone in a radial direction extending radially from a longitudinal center line. The microphone facing portion extends from a body retaining portion toward a base side in an axial direction. The drain path extends through the microphone facing portion in the radial direction and is capable of discharging water from an inner space in the microphone facing portion. The stamped wall portion is formed in the microphone facing portion and faces the drain path through the longitudinal center line.

An emergency escape system and an emergency escape method for a vehicle are provided. The emergency escape system includes a sunroof that is mounted at a headliner of the vehicle and a driving device opening or closing the sunroof by receiving current. A float sensor detects whether the vehicle is filled with water up to a predetermined mounting position. A pressure sensor detects a force applied to the headliner or the sunroof. A controller supplies the current to the driving device in response to receiving from the float sensor a signal indicating that the vehicle is filled with the water up to the predetermined mounting position and determining that the force applied to the headliner or the sunroof, which is detected by the pressure sensor, is greater than a predetermined force.

This saddle-type vehicle includes an occupant protection device (21), a plurality of acceleration sensors (S1 and S2) which detect translational acceleration in a forward and backward direction acting on a vehicle, and a control device (25) which controls an operation of the occupant protection device (21) on the basis of detection values of the acceleration sensors (S1 and S2). The plurality of acceleration sensors (S1 and S2) include a first acceleration sensor (S1) and a second acceleration sensor (S2). The first acceleration sensor (S1) is disposed above a center of gravity (G) of the vehicle. The second acceleration sensor (S2) is disposed below the center of gravity (G). The control device (25) averages a detection value (de1) detected by the first acceleration sensor (S1) and a detection value (de2) detected by the second acceleration sensor (S2) and controls an operation of the occupant protection device (21) on the basis of the averaged value.
