  • Patent number: 11932188
    Abstract: Provided are an airbag deployment system of a vehicle and an airbag deployment method thereof. The airbag deployment system includes a rear-viewable seat rotatably installed in a front row of the vehicle; a seat state detection unit configured to measure a rear-facing state, a current slide amount, and a backrest angle of the rear-viewable seat; a multiple-airbag unit that includes a first airbag installed in a backrest of the rear-viewable seat and configured to deploy rearward, and a second airbag installed in a dashboard; and a controller configured to, when a vehicle collision event occurs in the rear-facing state of the rear-viewable seat, calculate a distance between the dashboard and the backrest by using the current slide amount and the backrest angle, and selectively deploy at least one airbag according to a preset multiple-airbag deployment condition for each range based on the calculated distance.

  • Publication number: 20220305959
    Abstract: A pre-active safety seat system applied to the vehicle implements a method for improving a pre-active safety seat speed, which confirms a risk region by matching a recline angle, a slide movement position, and a cushion tilt angle, which are detected from each of a plurality of sensors of a multi-seat sensor in a risk collision situation detected by a vehicle environment sensor of an ADAS, with a seat safety map, and combines and simultaneously controls a plurality of motors of a multi-seat motor configured for a seat target posture of a seat for converting the risk region into a safety region, by a controller, shortening a pre-active safety seat (PSS) required time of a seat target posture in the pre-active safety seat (PSS) operable section before collision of the vehicle from a risk detection.
