Abstract
When collision detection unit such as a G sensor or a radar sensor detects a collision of a two-wheeled vehicle with a car body, a protection determination unit determines the necessity for protection. When it is determined that protection is required, at least one protection net are unfolded in response to the strength of the collision, etc. If the human body of the driver, passenger, etc., of the two-wheeled vehicle attempts to jump the car body in the collision, the human body can be caught in the protection net for making it possible to prevent a secondary disaster from occurring.
Claims14
A vehicle protection apparatus comprising:
- a collision detection unit for detecting a collision of a car body with a body;
- a protection determination unit for determining necessity for protection of the body with which the car body comes in collision on the basis of the detection result of the collision detection unit;
- and
- a net unfolding unit for unfolding a protection net on the car body when the protection determination unit determines that it is necessary to protect the body with which the car body comes in collision.
A vehicle protection apparatus comprising:
- a collision detection unit for detecting a collision of a car body with a body;
- a protection determination unit for determining necessity for protection of the body with which the car body comes in collision on the basis of the detection result of the collision detection unit;
- and
- an unfolding unit for unfolding at least one shock absorber from the car body when the protection determination unit determines that it is necessary to protect the body with which the car body comes in collision, wherein:
- the collision detection unit further detects collision strength and a collision position on the car body;
- and
- the protection determination unit determines a position and number of the shock absorber to be unfolded by the unfolding unit on the basis of the collision strength and the collision position detected by the collision detection unit.
A vehicle protection method comprising:
- detecting strength of a collision of a car body with a body and a collision position on the car body;
- determining a position and number of shock absorber to be unfolded on the basis of the detected collision strength and the detected collision position;
- and
- unfolding the shock absorber from the car body on the basis of the determining.
