  • Patent number: 11590925
    Abstract: An ADAS-linked active hood apparatus includes an ADAS device that measures information regarding a driving state of a vehicle and an object and a collision sensor unit that is positioned at a front of the vehicle and measures collision with the object. An active hood lift system (AHLS) raises one end of a hood of the vehicle based on a signal from the collision sensor unit. A controller sets a pedestrian detection threshold (PDT) turn, receives information regarding a plurality of front objects from the ADAS device to compensate for a PDT, compensates for an output reference value of the collision sensor unit based on the compensated PDT, and determines whether collision occurs using the collision sensor unit to adjust pop-up of the AHLS when an output value equal to or greater than the compensated reference value is applied.

  • Patent number: 10899310
    Abstract: An advanced driving assistance system (ADAS)-linked active hood apparatus for always-on operation is provided. The apparatus includes a rotary arm that is fixed to a hood of a vehicle, a rotary bracket configured to be rotated in conjunction with the rotary arm when rotation force is applied to the rotary bracket and a first link configured to interconnect the rotary bracket and the rotary arm. A motor unit is fixed to a vehicle body and applies rotation force to the rotary bracket. A controller is configured to receive driving information of the vehicle via an advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) and to set a pop-up height of the hood. The controller operates the motor unit to perform pop-up and restoration of the hood to an original position when a collision is expected based on the received driving information.
