  • Publication number: 20170008525
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system capable of calculating and analyzing energy loss in each of elements that consume energy of a vehicle and of managing the safety diagnosis and the potential regeneration energy of the vehicle based on the calculated and analyzed energy losses. In accordance with the intelligent vehicle management system according to an embodiment of the present invention, whether a vehicle is normally controlled is derived. If an abnormal control is determined, a warning signal is output to the vehicle in order to notify a driver of the necessity for repair and maintenance or the engine torque of the vehicle is limited. Accordingly, an accident attributable to abnormal control can be prevented. Furthermore, the expected braking distance of a vehicle being driven is derived so that the control unit can control the vehicle to keep a safe distance between the vehicle and an adjacent vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8678438
    Abstract: A seat belt apparatus for a vehicle including an anchor metal plate coupled with a vehicle body by a fastening bolt to extensively support a seat belt and upper and lower covers to receive the anchor metal plate. A contact rib is formed on at least one side portion of the inner surface of the upper cover, and a sidewall is formed on a side portion of the lower cover to make contact with the contact rib. An arc-type rib is formed on the bottom plate of the lower cover corresponding to an outer peripheral portion of at least one side portion of the base portion of the anchor metal plate, and a connection rib is formed between the arc-type rib and the sidewall. An arc-type slot is formed on the bottom plate of the lower cover.
