  • Patent number: 9102305
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an external airbag deployment 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 tracking physical characteristics of objects entering the detection area. The detection area is a predetermined area located in front of a vehicle and is set by the controller based on a full deployment time of the external airbag and a relative velocity upon colliding with another object.

  • Publication number: 20140156147
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an external airbag deployment system and method. The method includes determining, by a controller, whether to deploy an external airbag. The controller may be configured to set a detection area having a predetermined range and track physical characteristics of objects entering the detection area to update the physical characteristics at intervals of a measurement period of a front sensor. In addition, the controller may be configured to calculate predicted physical characteristics at intervals of a unit time during each measurement period. Based on the calculated physical characteristics, the controller may be configured to determine whether to deploy the external airbag at intervals of the unit time.

  • Publication number: 20140156145
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20140156146
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an external airbag deployment method and system. In the method, a detection area located in front of a vehicle is set. A target object is selected from a plurality of objects detected in the detection area by comparing a relative velocity, an overlap, and a TTE, which is a remaining time until each object collides with an airbag cushion when an external airbag is predicted to be deployed. The method further includes determining whether the vehicle is stable by comparing a predicted yaw rate of the vehicle with a measured yaw rate and determining 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. The external airbag is deployed when the vehicle is stable, and the predicted relative velocity and overlap are greater than the predetermined levels.
