A method for deploying an external air bag, including searching region of a front of vehicle, updating a physical amount of a searched object within the searching region each measurement period of a front sensor, determining a predicted physical amount each unit time during each measurement period, and predicting the physical amount by assuming that a specific searched object is moved at a constant speed when a capture of the specific searched object which was searched by the front sensor is stopped, selecting a target object among searched objects based on a relative speed or an overlap of the searched object obtained by the updating step or (Time To External Airbag) TTE and deploying the external air bag in a case in which each of a relative speed and an overlap predicted when the target object collides are a predetermined level or more.

Method for unfolding external air bag

Disclosed herein is an external airbag deployment method. The method includes setting, by a controller, a detection area located in front. In addition, the method includes setting, by the controller, a target object from objects detected in the detection area, when an object has a relative velocity greater than a first reference, an overlap greater than a second reference, and a TTE less than a third reference, wherein TTE is a remaining time until the object collides with an airbag cushion when the external airbag is predicted to be deployed. Furthermore, the method includes determining, by the controller, whether a relative velocity and an overlap, predicted at a time when the target object is predicted to collide with the vehicle, are greater than predetermined levels and deploying the external airbag when the predicted relative velocity and overlap are greater than the predetermined levels.

External airbag deployment method and system

The present invention provides a seat cover for a vehicle which is configured such that when a side airbag is initially deployed, an airbag can be smoothly guided in a lateral direction. The seat cover includes a front sheet, a rear sheet and a side sheet. A reinforcing fabric is provided on an inner surface of the front sheet. The side sheet is sewn at a first edge thereof to the front sheet and sewn at a second edge thereof to the rear sheet. A reinforcing liner is adhered or welded to an inner surface of the side sheet. The reinforcing fabric is less extensible or stretchable than the reinforcing liner.

Seat cover for vehicle and seat having the same

The side bolster apparatus includes a pressing unit formed on one side of a foldable seat back and rotating around a rotating shaft of the seat back, bolster installed so as to protrude from a rear side of the seat back, and an external force transmitting unit receiving external force from the pressing unit when the seat back is unfolded and transmitting the received external force to the bolster such that the bolsters protrude from the seat back.
