Patent number: 9434336Abstract: A method for deploying an external air bag, including searching region of a front of vehicle, updating a physical amount of a searched object within the searching region each measurement period of a front sensor, determining a predicted physical amount each unit time during each measurement period, and predicting the physical amount by assuming that a specific searched object is moved at a constant speed when a capture of the specific searched object which was searched by the front sensor is stopped, selecting a target object among searched objects based on a relative speed or an overlap of the searched object obtained by the updating step or (Time To External Airbag) TTE and deploying the external air bag in a case in which each of a relative speed and an overlap predicted when the target object collides are a predetermined level or more.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Hyundai Motor CompanyInventors: Han Sung Lee, Jin Ho Bae, Yong Sun Kim, Ki Jin Kwon, Joon Mo Park

Patent number: 9381882Abstract: Disclosed herein is an external airbag deployment method. The method includes setting, by a controller, a detection area located in front. In addition, the method includes setting, by the controller, a target object from objects detected in the detection area, when an object has a relative velocity greater than a first reference, an overlap greater than a second reference, and a TTE less than a third reference, wherein TTE is a remaining time until the object collides with an airbag cushion when the external airbag is predicted to be deployed. Furthermore, the method includes determining, by the controller, whether a relative velocity and an overlap, predicted at a time when the target object is predicted to collide with the vehicle, are greater than predetermined levels and deploying the external airbag when the predicted relative velocity and overlap are greater than the predetermined levels.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2014Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors CorporationInventors: Yong Sun Kim, Seoung Hoon Lee, Ki Jin Kwon, Jin Ho Bae, Han Sung Lee

Publication number: 20140156145Abstract: Disclosed herein is an external airbag deployment system and method of determining whether to deploy an external airbag. The method includes setting, by a controller, a detection area that has a predetermined range and selecting an object that has a shortest Time To External Airbag (EAB) (TTE), from objects detected in the detection area, as a dangerous object, the TTE being a remaining time until the object collides with an airbag cushion when the external airbag is predicted to be deployed. When the dangerous object has a relative velocity greater than a first reference, an overlap greater than a second reference, and a TTE less than a third reference, the dangerous object may be selected as a target object, to cause the external airbag to be deployed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2013Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANYInventors: Han Sung Lee, Seoung Hoon Lee, Yong Sun Kim, Sang Min Jo, Ki Jin Kwon, Jin Ho Bae

Patent number: 8079640Abstract: The present invention provides a seat cover for a vehicle which is configured such that when a side airbag is initially deployed, an airbag can be smoothly guided in a lateral direction. The seat cover includes a front sheet, a rear sheet and a side sheet. A reinforcing fabric is provided on an inner surface of the front sheet. The side sheet is sewn at a first edge thereof to the front sheet and sewn at a second edge thereof to the rear sheet. A reinforcing liner is adhered or welded to an inner surface of the side sheet. The reinforcing fabric is less extensible or stretchable than the reinforcing liner.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2009Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors CorporationInventors: Sang Ho Kim, Ki Jin Kwon, Jong Kweon Pyun, Jae Young Kim
