A device for restraining a passenger in a relaxed position for a vehicle seat and a method for controlling the device are configured such that when a seated passenger in an autonomous vehicle enters a relaxed mode, and thus is seated in a relaxed posture in the vehicle seat, and when a vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a predetermined speed, the device automatically operates such that legs of the seated passenger can be restrained, thereby effectively protecting the passenger in the relaxed position if an accident occurs. The device includes a rod member coupled to a seat cushion and configured to have a variable length; and a support foam connected to one end of the rod member and positioned in front of the seated passenger to restrain the legs of the seated passenger.

An apparatus and a method optimize a restraint specification based on a particle swarm optimization algorithm using impact analysis between the restraint specification and passenger injuries. A passenger injury prediction value is generated according to the injury degree of a passenger by sequentially inputting values according to specifications of each design variable included in the injury result data into a particle swarm optimization algorithm. The optimization algorithm is implemented with a plurality of computational layers formed for each detailed configuration in order to search for an optimal specification of a restraint. Information on the optimal specification of the restraint is provided by calculating a comprehensive result indicator using the passenger injury prediction value. Thus, the information on the optimal specification of the restraint can be calculated without repetitive evaluation tests.

A locking mechanism for pillarless doors includes a first body mounted on a first side door and having a first cavity, a second body mounted on a second side door and having a second cavity opposite the first cavity, a locking member configured to be movably received between the first cavity of the first body and the second cavity of the second body, and a gas generator including a squib and an inflator chamber containing a gas generant configured to be burned by ignition of the squib, wherein the inflator chamber is separated from the first cavity by a burst membrane.

Locking mechanism for pillarless doors

A seat cushion airbag for a vehicle includes an airbag cushion that is formed with a center part installed in a center of or around a front part of a seat cushion of a vehicle and is located between legs of a passenger when being deployed. An extension part extends on both sides of the center part and is located above the legs of the passenger and an inflator is connected to the airbag cushion and provides an expansion force to the airbag cushion.

Vehicle seat cushion airbag, control system and control method thereof

The present invention relates to a downwash blocking apparatus of air mobility configured such that multi-stage guide shells configured for blocking downwash and guiding the downwash to a discharge portion of a vertiport are mounted to a rotor guide of a flying vehicle for air urban mobility to be movable upwards and downwards, whereby it is possible to prevent the downwash from affecting passengers at the time of boarding and deboarding, and therefore it is possible to solve passenger inconvenience at the time of boarding and deboarding.

Downwash blocking apparatus for air mobility

An airbag support device for a vehicle swivel seat includes: a support frame disposed on a lateral side of a seat back frame; a side airbag disposed on a rear plate of the support frame; a plurality of support bars disposed in an extendable manner on a lateral plate of the support frame; an extension drive bar configured to extend such that the extension drive bar connects the plurality of support bars to each other while extending; and a support bar extension drive assembly, connected to the rear plate of the support frame and the extension drive bar, wherein the support bar extension drive assembly is configured to push the extension drive bar inward and outward and at the same time to extend the support bar when the side airbag is inflated.

Airbag support device for vehicle swivel seat

A tether anchorage device for a swivel seat of a vehicle is provided. The device is configured such that an anchor including a horizontal bar and a vertical bar is mounted on a rear surface of the swivel seat, and a tether belt for fixing a baby seat is anchored to the anchor while being bound in a vertical direction as well as a horizontal direction of the swivel seat, so that the baby seat may be securely fixed to the swivel seat regardless of a rotating position of the swivel seat.

Tether anchorage device for swivel seat of vehicle

A side airbag apparatus includes: an airbag cushion having a rear end configured to be secured to a side surface of a seat and a front end configured to move forwards while the airbag cushion is deployed forwards when gas is injected into the airbag cushion; at least one support tether having a first side coupled to a side surface of the seat to be rotatable about a rotating shaft extending in a direction parallel to a side of the seat, and extending in a longitudinal direction; and at least one outer tether having a first end coupled to a second side of the support tether, and a second end extending in the longitudinal direction and coupled to the front end of the airbag cushion.

Side airbag apparatus

The present disclosure relates to an airbag, and discloses an airbag support device and a control method thereof. The airbag support device includes an airbag cushion embedded in a side surface of a seatback and configured to be inflated and deployed forward from the seatback; a pop-up tether having one end connected to the seatback, and configured to be deployed in a direction in which the airbag cushion is deployed and to penetrate the airbag cushion; and a pop-up tether module provided on a side surface of a seat cushion, having the other end of the pop-up tether connected to an end of a tether pole, and configured so that the pop-up tether between the seatback and the tether pole is pulled while the airbag cushion is deployed to support the airbag cushion by the pop-up tether in a portion penetrating the airbag cushion.
