Abstract
A remote safety device control system for a vehicle that commands a remote safety device to activate in the event the remote safety device control system determines that a collision is imminent. The remote safety device control system receives safety information from one or more vehicle subsystems from which it determines whether a collision is imminent. If a collision is determined to be imminent, the remote safety device control system activates the remote safety device.
Claims17
A remote safety device control system for a vehicle operated by an operator, comprising:
- a controller, wherein the controller receives safety information from one or more vehicle subsystems, and
- a gateway through which the controller is in communication with a remote safety device,
- wherein, based at least in part on the safety information, the controller determines whether a collision is imminent, and if it determines that a collision is imminent, transmits via the gateway an activation command to the remote safety device.
A method of operating a vehicle, comprising:
- generating safety information in a vehicle subsystem;
- communicating the safety information to a remote safety device control system on the vehicle;
- determining with a controller of the remote safety device control system based on the safety information whether a collision is imminent;
- and,
- if a collision is determined to be imminent, transmitting from the controller via a gateway an activation command to a remote safety device.
