Abstract: An accident report system for a vehicle includes an accident detection section to detect an accident; an information collection section to collect information; and an information report section to report the collected information to an external agency when the accident is detected. The information collection section differentiates the collected information before and after the detection of the accident such that (i) an accident cause data is collected before the detection of the accident to confirm an exterior outside of the vehicle and (ii) an accident damage data is collected after the detection of the accident to confirm an interior inside of the vehicle. The collection and report of the accident cause data and accident damage data permits the external agency to recognize states of the vehicle or states of an occupant of the vehicle before and after the detection of the accident.

Abstract: A vehicular self-diagnosis apparatus in a vehicle diagnoses whether a sensor serving as an accessory in the vehicle exhibits an anomaly. The apparatus includes a state recording section and a determination recording section. The state recording section records sensor information of the sensor. The determination recording section determines a normal state, a failed state, or a non-normal state, whichever the sensor exhibits based on the sensor information, and records the determined state. This reduces useless inspection or repair of the sensor having exhibited the non-normal state that is enabled to return to the normal state.

In the formula, X represents C1-3 alkylene, Y represents C2-3 alkylene, and R represents hydrogen or methyl.

Abstract: A shock detection optical fiber sensor includes: a plastic fiber; a corrugated plate having a plurality of protrusions arranged in the longitudinal direction of the plastic optical fiber and formed to oppose to the plastic optical fiber; a mold plate covering the plastic optical fiber and the corrugated plate; a light emitting element connected to one end of the plastic optical fiber; and a light receiving element connected to the other end of the plastic optical fiber.

Abstract: In a vehicle bumper structure, an optical fiber sensor (32) is provided in a vehicle width direction on the front surface of a front-bumper reinforcement (30). A front-bumper absorber (28) is provided in front of the optical fiber sensor (32), the front-bumper absorber (28) formed of a soft absorber (54) and a hard absorber (56). The hard absorber is disposed at the bumper center region where the thickness of the bumper is increased. Accordingly, the thickness of the soft absorber (54) becomes substantially uniform in the vehicle width direction, so that a substantially uniform load is inputted to the optical fiber sensor (32) regardless of the collision position of the bumper with an object. As a result, variations in the output of the load-sensing unit are reduced.

Abstract: A pedestrian protecting apparatus is provided with a pedestrian protecting unit which is mounted at a hood of a vehicle to protect a pedestrian in a collision with the vehicle, a detecting unit for measuring an inclination angle of the obstacle entering a predetermined region at an upper side of the hood, a pedestrian collision determining unit for determining the collision between the vehicle and the pedestrian based on the measured inclination angle of the obstacle, and a control unit. In the case where the measured inclination angle of the obstacle varies with the time elapse so that the obstacle inclines to the side of the hood, the pedestrian collision determining unit determines that there occurs the collision between the vehicle and the pedestrian. Thus, the control unit actuates the pedestrian protecting unit.

Abstract: An optical fiber 1 includes a core 11 and a cladding material 12. In a collision detection optical fiber sensor 100, a plurality of linear members 2 and 3 are twisted around an outer periphery of the cladding material 12 of the optical fiber 1. An elastic member 6 of the liner member 2 has an elasticity different from that of an elastic member 7 of the first linear member 3. The hardness of the elastic member 6 is lower than that of the elastic member 7. A rubber hardness difference measured by a durometer type A according to a JIS K6253 between the elastic member 6 and the elastic member 7 is not less than 10.

Abstract: An optical fiber sensor can be interposed between a bumper reinforcement and a load transmitting plate to extend in the direction of width of a vehicle along with the bumper reinforcement. In this case, when a change does not occur substantially in an immediately previous predetermined period in an output voltage of a light emission amount of the optical fiber sensor, a feedback control is performed in such a way that the change becomes a level of zero of the output voltage of the optical fiber sensor. In contrast, when a change in the output voltage is not substantially zero, the immediately previous state of emission of light is maintained. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively compensate a zero point shift caused by a temperature change or/and an aging degradation of the optical fiber sensor.
