A method for manufacturing a webbing () for a seat belt system in a vehicle comprises the following steps of: weaving the webbing () using a first yarn () and a second yarn (), the first yarn () and the second yarn () reflecting light in the spectrum invisible to humans with different intensity, wherein the first and second yarns () form a pattern (), and overdying the webbing () so that the webbing () reflects light in the spectral range visible to humans in such a way that it has a homogenous appearance for humans. Moreover, such a webbing () and a vehicle comprising such a webbing () are provided.

Method for producing a belt strap for a safety belt system in a vehicle, belt strap, and vehicle having belt strap

A method for a seat belt system () in a vehicle (), the seat belt system () comprising a control unit () and at least one seat belt () with an extendable webbing () and a webbing extension measuring device (), includes the steps of: Moreover, the invention provides a seat belt system () for a vehicle () comprising an extendable seat belt () as well as a vehicle () comprising a seat belt system ().

Method for a seatbelt system, seatbelt system for a vehicle, and vehicle comprising a seatbelt system

A method for the dynamic fixation of an occupant wearing a seatbelt on a vehicle seat involves determining a lateral acceleration of the vehicle and a road course ahead of the vehicle. The seatbelt is tightened with a predetermined belt force for a predetermined period of time before entering a bend having a certain curvature.

Method for a dynamic fixation

A vehicle seat () for a motor vehicle, having a backrest (), a height-adjustable headrest () and a seatbelt guide () integrated in the vehicle seat () for a seatbelt (), wherein the height-adjustable headrest () is coupled to the backrest (), and wherein the headrest () can be mechanically coupled to a seatbelt guide adjusting mechanism (), which mechanically adjusts the seatbelt guide () when adjusting the height of the headrest ().

Vehicle seat and vehicle seat system for a motor vehicle

A method for sensing the webbing extension of a seat belt () from a webbing retractor () of a vehicle includes sensing the position of the magnet () by means of the magnetic field sensor () by the control unit (). The control unit () detects when the magnet () has completed a full turn. The control unit () deposits the number of the full turns in a memory (). The control unit () determines the webbing extension by way of number of the full turns and the position of the magnet (). A webbing retractor () for a seat belt () has a magnet ().

Method for measuring the pull-out of the belt band and belt band retractor

A vehicle occupant restraint device comprises a control unit and a group of at least two matched airbags () for the protection of a vehicle occupant () on a particular vehicle seat (). The control unit is arranged and the airbags () are disposed and designed so that, in a collision case, the control unit differentiates between a first situation in which the vehicle occupant () is located in a standard distance area relative to a first airbag () and a second situation in which the vehicle occupant () is located in a rear area which is further distant from the first airbag () than the standard distance area. When the first situation is given, the control unit activates the first airbag () only. In contrast, when the second situation is given, the control unit activates the first airbag () and additionally at least a second airbag () of the group, with the first airbag () backing the second airbag ().

Vehicle occupant restraint device and method for operating a vehicle occupant restraint device

A control system and corresponding control method which is adapted and intended for use in an own vehicle for detecting one or more objects based on environmental data obtained from one or more environmental sensors disposed at the vehicle. The environmental sensors are adapted to provide an electronic control unit of the control system with the environmental data which reflect the areas in front of, laterally next to and/or behind the vehicle. The control system is at least adapted and intended for detecting at least one object by means of the environmental sensors during a predetermined period of time or continuously. A movement of each detected object is determined. The presence of a rotational part in the movement of at least one object is identified, and when a rotational part is present, a probability of an occurrence of a collision between the corresponding object and the own vehicle is calculated.

Control system and control method for determining a probability of an imminent collision of a vehicle

The invention relates to a vehicle operating element () comprising a sensor () for non-invasive measurement of biomolecules in the blood of an operator of a vehicle operating element () by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, comprising at least one antenna () which includes at least a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer and an insulating layer being sandwiched between the two conductive layers. By means of the second conductive layer an excitation signal can be coupled out and an off-resonance excitation signal can be coupled into the antenna (). Furthermore, a method of non-invasive measurement of biomolecules and a method of operating a vehicle are described.

Vehicle operating element and method for noninvasively measuring biomolecules

In a method for identifying misuse of a seat belt in a vehicle, vehicle data are detected and, based on said data, a plausibility check is performed for determining whether the seat belt is fastened as intended. Signals of at least one belt buckle sensor and of at least one webbing extension sensor are detected and a plausibility check for misuse is performed by taking the time course of the signals and/or the point in time of input of the signals into account so as to make a comparison with stored reference data. A seat belt system in a vehicle for carrying out said method comprises at least one belt buckle sensor and at least one webbing extension sensor as well as at least one seat occupation sensor, one door sensor, one vehicle acceleration sensor and/or one vehicle speedometer as well as a control unit in which the signals of the sensors are stored and evaluated.

Method for detecting misuse of a safety belt and safety belt system

A belt presenter system for a seat belt system of a vehicle includes an arm () mounted on a vehicle pillar, wherein the arm () can adopt a feeding position (A) and a parking position (P). An end portion () of the arm () is connected to a fixed arm portion () via a hinge () so that the end portion () is bendable about a pivot axis relative to the fixed arm portion ().

Belt presenter system

A belt presenter for a seat belt system of a vehicle includes an arm () which is pivotal in a state mounted on the vehicle, wherein the arm () can adopt a feeding position (A) and a parking position (P). The arm () includes a finger () for seizing the strap () when the arm moves into the feeding position (A), and the finger () is pivoted at the arm () so that it can adopt a folded position in which it is located substantially in parallel to the arm () and an unfolded position in which the finger () is orientated substantially perpendicularly to a pivoting plane of the arm ().
