Title:
METHOD OF CONSTRAINING OCCUPANT OF VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003137062
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method of constraining an occupant of a vehicle for reducing a load charged on the occupant of the vehicle during a constraining process.
In the method of constraining the occupant of the vehicle by dissipating kinetic energy, possibility of an accident is firstly sensed, a force applied in the collision direction is applied to the occupant of the vehicle at latest in a contact time of the vehicle with an obstacle, a certain acceleration is applied to the occupant of the vehicle, and a force is set over the whole braking distance in a method of uniformly causing the dissipation of the kinetic energy.
