  • Publication number: 20260054684
    Abstract: A safety system for improving road compatibility of a vehicle includes a monitoring system and an integrated safety domain control unit. The monitoring system includes a vehicle external information monitoring module and a vehicle body posture monitoring module. The integrated safety domain control unit is configured to compute a collision condition between the vehicle and an obstacle based on data acquired by the vehicle external information monitoring module and the vehicle body posture monitoring module, the collision condition including a collision relative speed and a collision overlap rate, and determine, based on the collision relative speed and the collision overlap rate, whether to deploy an external airbag. A determination condition for controlling triggering of deployment of the external airbag includes determining whether the collision relative speed is less than a first speed threshold and/or whether the collision overlap rate is less than a first overlap rate threshold.

  • Publication number: 20250222889
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a vehicle interior system, a method for adjusting an interior component, a device, and a medium. The vehicle interior system includes: an interior component including an infrared reflective material; a TOF camera provided in a cockpit of a vehicle; and an adjustment controller, including: a data acquisition module configured to acquire detection data from the TOF camera; a pose determination module configured to determine a pose of at least one occupant based on the detection data from the TOF camera; and an interior adjustment module configured to determine an adjustment strategy for the interior component based on a pose of at least one interior component and the pose of the occupant, to provide a best match between the pose of the interior component and the pose of the at least one occupant.

  • Patent number: 11820320
    Abstract: There is provided a system for improving safety of an occupant by an airbag, which can provide adaptive protection for occupants in different seat positions and different sitting postures. Further, there is provided a method for improving safety of an occupant by an airbag. Further, there is provided a computer-readable medium. The system for improving safety of an occupant by an airbag includes an in-vehicle observation system, an inflatable restraint system, a collision prediction system, and an integrated safety domain control unit. The integrated safety domain control unit formulates a deployment strategy based on data transmitted from the in-vehicle observation system, the inflatable restraint system, and the collision prediction system, to selectively inflate at least one airbag assembly and control an inflation volume for the airbag assembly to be inflated.
