A vehicular bumper structure includes plural load detection sensors (28, 30, 32, 34, 52) disposed at predetermined intervals in a vehicle body vertical direction between a load transmitting plate (36, 50) disposed with a bumper touch sensor and a front wall portion (20C) of a bumper reinforcement. The load transmitting plate (36, 50) is configured so as to be displaced towards a vehicle body rear side with respect to the front wall portion (20C) of the bumper reinforcement (20).

An optical fiber sensor (8) has an optical fiber (2) and, a light emitting member (3) connected to a first end (20) of the optical fiber (2), a light receiving member (4) connected to a second end (21) of the optical fiber (2). The light emitting member (3) has a light emitting portion (300) through which light is radiated to the first end (20) of the optical fiber (2). The light receiving member (4) has a light receiving portion (400) for receiving light radiated from the second end (21) of the optical fiber (2). The light emitting portion (300) is smaller than a sectional area of a core portion (25) of the optical fiber (2).

An activation control apparatus controls activation of an airbag unit. An electronic control unit detects a floor deceleration Gf and front decelerations GI, Gr from signals output from a floor sensor and front sensors. Also, the electronic control unit calculates a velocity change Vn from the floor deceleration Gf, and determines the severity of a collision. Further, the electronic control unit determines the state of a symmetric flag FRG through comparison between the front decelerations GI, Gr and the value of a front determination map boundary, serving as a front threshold variation pattern and through comparison between the floor deceleration Gf and the value of a low or high map boundary, serving as an activation threshold variation pattern. Then, on the basis of results of the severity determination and the state of the symmetric flag FRG, the electronic control unit determines a delay time in relation to the activation of the airbag unit. An airbag is expanded and deployed on the basis of the delay time.

An optical fiber is optically coupled to a light-receiving/emitting element contained in an interface box. The coupling structure is composed of a cylindrical ferule water-tightly inserted into a through-hole formed in a wall of the interface box, a resilient grommet coupled to the ferule and a coupler having the light-receiving/emitting element. An optical fiber is inserted into coaxially formed center holes of the ferule and the grommet, and an axial end of the optical fiber is exposed at an axial end of the ferule. The coupler is coupled to the ferule so that the light-receiving/emitting element directly faces the exposed end of the optical fiber to establish an optical connection at a minimized connection loss.

A collision detection apparatus that is mounted in a vehicle and that determines whether an object has collided with a side surface of the vehicle from outside the vehicle includes: an acceleration detection portion that detects acceleration in a transverse direction of the vehicle which is applied to a door portion of the vehicle from outside; an integration execution portion that starts integration of the acceleration detected by the acceleration detection portion and finds velocity by integrating the acceleration if the detected acceleration is greater than or equal to a pre-set positive first threshold value, or is less than or equal to a pre-set negative second threshold value; and a collision determination portion that determines whether an object has collided with a side surface of the vehicle based on the detected acceleration and the velocity found by the integration execution portion.

A rollover determination system 20 includes a first roll rate sensor 22, a lateral G-sensor 26, and a main rollover determination unit 30. The first roll rate sensor 22 detects roll rate of a vehicle. The lateral G-sensor 26 detects acceleration in the lateral direction of the vehicle. The main rollover determination unit 30 determines a possibility of rollover of the vehicle based on roll rate RR and lateral acceleration Gy. A safing determination unit 70 for confirming an occurrence of rollover is additionally incorporated in the main rollover determination unit 30.

摘要:
A rollover determining apparatus and methods for determining whether a vehicle is about to roll over distinguishes a type of rollover that is likely to occur to the vehicle based on the lateral acceleration of the vehicle and the roll angle of the vehicle. Moreover, a determination is made whether the state of the vehicle indicated by a first quantity corresponding to the distinguished type of rollover is in a rollover region determined by a predetermined threshold line. The apparatus and methods can also change the threshold line in accordance with the magnitude of second quantity that is different from the first quantity and that corresponds to the distinguished type of rollover.
摘要:
Systems and methods for controlling a vehicle-occupant protecting apparatus provided on a vehicle such that the apparatus is controlled upon determination that the vehicle has had a rollover motion, the control system including a first detector that determines whether the vehicle has crashed, a second detector that determines whether the vehicle has had a rollover motion, and an invalidating device that invalidates the determination by the second detector that the vehicle has had the rollover motion such that the determination by the second detector is invalidated for a predetermined time after the determination by the first detector that the vehicle has crashed. Furthermore, a controller controls the vehicle-occupant protecting apparatus based on outputs of the second detector and the invalidating device to prevent unnecessary operation of the vehicle-occupant protecting device.
