  • Patent number: 11891053
    Abstract: A methodology, including: receiving first input related to expected states of a vehicle and another vehicle or object at impact event initiation with positions, orientations, and velocities as parameters used for impact event evaluation; receiving second input related to expected vehicle occupant position and position transfer during a pre-impact event maneuver; and simulating an impact event involving the vehicle and the another vehicle or object using both the first input and the second input to quantify the performance of a safety system of the vehicle with a combined effect from a collision avoidance feature and an injury prevention feature. The method further includes filtering out a case where a vehicle occupant pre-crash position excursion is expected to exceed a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 11305726
    Abstract: A restraining system for restraining an occupant of a vehicle, the system including: an occupant supporting device for supporting the occupant, the occupant supporting device has a longitudinal direction along which an occupant is intended to be positioned; a blanket including at least one restraint belt including a first end and a second end attachable to attachment members arranged on either side of the occupant supporting device such that the at least one restraint belt extends in a transverse direction across the occupant supporting device, the attachment members are movable such that the position of the at least one restraint belt is adjustable in the longitudinal direction, an activation control unit configured to receive a signal indicative of a vehicle collision, and in response to the received signal control a pre-tension device to increase the tension in the at least one restraint belt.

  • Patent number: 9730526
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a child transport device for a child. The child transport device is transformable between a vehicle configuration adapted for attachment in a vehicle, and a carrying configuration adapted for carrying the child against a body of a person. The child transport device comprises a main body, which comprises a safety harness adapted to attach the child to the main body. In the vehicle configuration, a front portion of the main body is adapted to be supported by a first support element, and a rear portion of the main body is adapted to be supported by a second support element, the main body being adapted to be tensioned, such that it when tensioned bridges a distance between the first and second support elements. The disclosure further relates to a method of attaching the child transport device to a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8672403
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a child seat for rearward-facing use in a vehicle. It comprises a back portion and a squab portion. The back portion comprises a force-receiving assembly, located at the shoulder region, which is of a more rigid material than a main portion of the back portion, the main portion being of a light-weight material. The force-receiving assembly comprises a first portion arranged at the first side of the back portion providing an anchor point for a shoulder portion of a child safety belt arrangement. The force-receiving assembly further comprises a second portion arranged at the second side of the back portion providing an anchor point for a child seat fixation means. The disclosure further relates to a child seat arrangement, a kit of parts and a vehicle comprising the child seat.
