The present invention is configured to include a first energy-amplifying actuator configured to release a door locking mechanism by outputting energy greater than the energy received, a second energy-amplifying actuator configured to extend a door handle from a door by outputting energy greater than the energy received, a controller equipped to drive the first energy-amplifying actuator and the second energy-amplifying actuator when the vehicle stopped moving is in a state where the door handle is not extended normally to facilitate opening the door, and an emergency power supply equipped to supply power to the controller independently of the vehicle power supply device.

Door handle emergency extension system for vehicle and control method thereof

An airbag apparatus for a vehicle includes a passenger seat airbag disposed at a cockpit module of the vehicle and having a first cushion configured to deploy toward a passenger seated at a passenger seat of the vehicle; a support airbag disposed at a body of the vehicle on a lateral side of the passenger seat and having a second cushion configured to deploy toward the passenger seated at the passenger seat; and an airbag control unit configured to control individual deployment of the passenger seat airbag and the support airbag.

Airbag apparatus for vehicle and method of controlling operation of the same

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle airbag device, which includes a main cushion and an auxiliary cushion deploying from the main cushion and may more effectively protect both a passenger-seat passenger in a normal seating state and a passenger-seat passenger in a relaxed seating state even in the event of an oblique offset collision by differentiating the deployment of the auxiliary cushion by releasing or maintaining the connection of a tether connected to the auxiliary cushion during deployment of an airbag cushion.

Airbag apparatus for vehicle

Disclosed are an airbag for a seat capable of quickly and safely supporting an occupant's body parts in order to reduce the risk of injury to the occupant and a method of controlling deployment thereof. The airbag includes an airbag cushion configured to be deployed so as to cover areas ahead of and above a seat, an active wire connected between each of two side surfaces of the seat and a respective one of two side surfaces of the airbag cushion, an active mechanism configured to generate force of pulling the active wire connected to the airbag cushion toward an occupant, and a controller configured to apply an operation command to the active mechanism during operation of the airbag to control the active mechanism to pull the active wire so that the airbag cushion is pulled toward the occupant.

Airbag for seat and method of controlling deployment thereof

Technology for safely protecting a passenger's pelvic region and below in the event of a side crash and a door-mounted passenger protection device and a method of controlling the device that includes a pusher moving from the inside of the door toward a passenger seated in a seat to be supported by the passenger's body and a pusher moving device applying air pressure to the pusher to move the pusher toward the passenger.

Door-mounted passenger protection device and control method thereof

An external airbag device is proposed. The external airbag device includes: a housing located in a bumper and securely coupled to a vehicle; and an airbag cushion disposed inside the housing in a folded state, and configured to be deployed outwardly from the housing and the bumper when gas is injected thereinto, wherein the airbag cushion is configured to be deployed to be inclined while a contact surface thereof brought into contact with an external obstacle colliding with the vehicle is deployed.

External airbag device

A pedestrian airbag includes: an airbag cushion stored in a pedestrian airbag room located between a roof and a headliner of a vehicle in a folded state, and configured to be deployed to cover both a windshield glass and an A-pillar by being expanded during deployment thereof; and an inflator configured to supply gas to the airbag cushion.

Cushion for pedestrian airbag

An airbag apparatus for a vehicle, in which a lateral tether is disconnected or a front tether is disconnected, in the event of a collision accident, depending on whether a passenger seated in a passenger seat is in a normal seating state or a relaxed seating state, such that a deployed airbag cushion may effectively protect not only a passenger seated in the passenger seat in the normal seating state but also a passenger seated in the passenger seat in the relaxed seating state.

A door-mounted air bag and a control method for deploying the same are proposed. The door-mounted air bag is configured to minimize injuries to a passenger on a two-wheeled vehicle and a passenger in a vehicle when the passenger on the two-wheeled vehicle hits a door, and the door-mounted air bag includes a door-mounted air bag including: an air bag mounted to a door, and a cushion provided in the air bag and configured to be deployed in an inward direction of the door, and configured to be deployed in a form that covers an inner surface of a door trim and an edge of a door rear end.

Door-mounted air bag and control method for deploying same

An airbag apparatus for protecting a pedestrian. An unfolded airbag cushion includes a roof chamber part unfolded to cover a front part of a roof panel, left and right pillar chamber parts unfolded to cover front pillars, and a windshield chamber part unfolded to cover the entire surface of a windshield glass. The airbag apparatus is configured to protect the head and upper body of the pedestrian maximally and efficiently by using the roof chamber part, the pillar chamber parts, the windshield chamber part in a contact accident between a vehicle and a pedestrian and a cyclist.

Airbag apparatus for protecting pedestrian

A vehicle airbag system is proposed. The vehicle airbag system includes: a front airbag mounted to a portion of a vehicle in front of a passenger and configured to be unfolded toward a front of the passenger; an upper airbag mounted to a portion of the vehicle above the passenger and configured to be unfolded toward the front of the passenger; a seat detector configured to detect a seating posture of the passenger; and a controller configured to control unfolding of the front airbag or the upper airbag on the basis of the passenger's seating posture detected by the seat detector.

Vehicle airbag system and control method

The present invention provides a roof airbag for a vehicle, the roof airbag including an airbag cushion mounted on a roof panel of a vehicle and configured to deploy downward from the roof panel to a location between front and rear passengers seated while facing one another, a front tether configured to surround an outer portion of the airbag cushion and having one end connected to a front side of the airbag cushion and the other end connected to the airbag cushion, and a rear tether configured to surround the outer portion of the airbag cushion and having one end connected to a rear side of the airbag cushion and the other end connected to the airbag cushion, in which the front and rear tethers surround the outer portion of the airbag cushion while intersecting each other.

Roof airbag for vehicle

The present invention provides an external airbag system for a vehicle, the external airbag system including a detection sensor configured to detect an object moving at a rear or lateral side of a vehicle, an airbag cushion provided on a rear frame on which a door of the vehicle is mounted, the airbag cushion being configured to be deployed to extend in a leftward/rightward direction of the vehicle in a state in which the door of the vehicle is opened, and a control unit configured to perform control to deploy the airbag cushion when the detection sensor detects the object.

External airbag for vehicle

An airbag module to protect a display device of a vehicle is proposed. The airbag module includes: the display device vertically slidably mounted to a cockpit of the vehicle; and an airbag housing arranged at the rear of the display device, rotatably mounted to the cockpit on a shaft extended in a direction parallel to a transverse direction of the vehicle, and configured to be rotated in response to sliding of the display device.
