Abstract
A vehicle collision safety system includes an engine having an electric motor, a power unit in electrical connection with the electric motor for charging and discharging electricity, a plurality of collision detectors for generating a collision signal upon detecting a collision of a vehicle, and a calculation function for determining the collision of the vehicle upon receiving the collision signal from the collision detectors. Charging and discharging of the power unit in the vehicle collision safety system is shut off when the collision is determined by the calculation function, and the calculation function determines the collision of the vehicle based on the collision signals from at least two collision detectors.
