LADAR ENABLED IMPACT MITIGATION SYSTEM

Japanese Patent JP2014174176

A

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a LADAR (Laser Detection and Ranging) capable of using an impact mitigation system for forward-mounted long-range use.SOLUTION: An impact mitigation system mounts a short range ladar sensor by means of auxiliary lamps to identify obstacles and to predict unavoidable collisions therewith, and a duplex radio link 115 in communication with secondary vehicles, and a number of external airbags deployable under the control of an airbag control unit 118. The impact mitigation system reduces the forces of impact on the host vehicle, secondary vehicles, and bipeds and quadrupeds wandering into the roadway. A suspension modification system 116 makes use of headlight mounted long range ladar sensors and short range ladar sensors mounted in auxiliary lamps to characterize the road surface, identify road hazards, and make adaptations to a number of active suspension components (each with the ability to absorb shock), elevate or lower the means, and adjust the spring rate of the individual wheel suspensions.
