Abstract: A method, system, and host vehicle mitigate an encounter with a vulnerable road user (VRU) by performing pedestrian protection countermeasures when the VRU encounter is detected and an event with the VRU encounter is anticipated. The method includes determining, via a primary detection process using the controller, if the VRU encounter is probable, and determining, via a secondary detection process using the controller, if the VRU encounter has occurred. The method includes performing one or more pedestrian protection countermeasures based on a respective result of the primary and secondary detection processes. The primary detection process may utilize a passive sensing device and the secondary detection process may utilize an ADAS sensor, or vice versa.

Abstract: A motor vehicle having a rear spoiler that is rigidly attached to a bearing structure of the motor vehicle in a normal position. In order to functionally improve the motor vehicle, the rear spoiler rigidly attached to the bearing structure in its normal position is displaceably attached to the support structure such that the rear spoiler is displaced to a safety position by a translation device in the event of an imminent collision detected by a sensor.

Abstract: A first object includes an internal support and an exterior portion coupled to the internal support. A prediction may be made that contact between the exterior portion and a second object will occur. A sensor is configured to output a force signal that indicates the contact between the exterior portion and the second object has occurred, and the controller is configured to take an action based on the prediction and the force signal.

Abstract: An exterior protection apparatus for a vehicle includes an exterior airbag device, a collision detector, and a controller. The exterior airbag device includes a bag body, and an inflator configured to expand the bag body over a hood of a vehicle body of the vehicle in a state of having a width corresponding to a vehicle width of the vehicle body of the vehicle. The collision detector is configured to predict or detect a collision between the vehicle body and a person outside the vehicle. The controller is configured to cause the bag body of the exterior airbag device to be expanded in a case where the collision detector predicts or detects the collision. The exterior airbag device includes a flexible crossing member configured to extend along a direction of the vehicle width on an upper surface of the bag body widely expanded.

Abstract: An autonomous on-road vehicle having an outer nontransparent Shock-Absorbing Energy Dissipation Padding (SAEDP). In one embodiment, the SAEDP is mounted, during normal driving, to the front side of the vehicle at eye level of an occupant who sits in a front seat of the vehicle. A camera is mounted to the vehicle and takes video of the outside environment in front of the occupant. And a computer generates a representation of the outside environment at eye level for the occupant.

Abstract: An extendable barrier system may be used to physically prevent motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, or other traffic from passing a vehicle such as a bus, such as while passengers are embarking or disembarking. An extendable member may laterally extend from the vehicle in a non-telescoping manner. A motor driven sprocket may drive the extendable member, such as by engaging teeth that may be present on the extendable member. One or more retainers, such as rollers, may be fixed to the frame of the vehicle, and may guide the extendable member from a retracted position to an extended position. These rollers may be fixed in place, or may be allowed some degree of movement, so that if the extendable member is struck while in the extended condition, it may disengage from the vehicle without causing significant damage. A neutral switch may maintain the vehicle in neutral or park unless the member is retracted.

Abstract: Airbag cushion assemblies for aspirating ambient air to enhance inflation. Some embodiments may comprise an inflation module comprising an inflator and a plurality of high-velocity nozzles fluidly coupled with the inflator and configured to deliver inflation gas from the inflator into an airbag cushion. A housing coupled to the airbag cushion, may comprise an aspiration inlet configured to allow for receipt of ambient air into the airbag cushion during inflation of the airbag cushion. The plurality of high-velocity nozzles may be configured to, upon actuation of the inflator, draw ambient air into the airbag cushion along with the inflation gas from the inflator. In some embodiments, a valve assembly may be provided that is configured to open upon actuation of the inflator and to close following inflation of the airbag cushion to prevent air and inflation gas from exiting through the aspiration inlet.

Abstract: A safety guard for a vehicle, such as a school or transit bus, includes a skirt extending below a side body portion of the vehicle and between front and rear wheels along a side of the vehicle. The skirt functions to push individuals and other animate objects out of the path of the wheels for safety purposes, while being mounted for separate linear and arcuate movements relative to the body of the vehicle to protect the guard from damage upon abutting an inanimate object during operation of the vehicle.
