A GROWING NUMBER OF CHILDREN AND FRAIL ADULTS WERE KILLED BY
THE SUDDEN DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS IN LOW VELOCITY CRASHES.
SOURCE: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DOCKET 74-14 DATE
8-13-1997
A KEY FACTOR WAS THE VICTIM'S PROXIMITY TO THE DEPLOYING AIRBAG.
INTRODUCTION OF EXTERNAL AIRBAGS TO SUPPLEMENT THE PRESENT
SYSTEM WOULD OFTEN ELIMINATE THE NECESSITY OF INTERNAL AIRBAG
DEPLOYMENT IN LOW VELOCITY CRASHES.
THE MOST OUTSTANDING FEATURE IS THAT DEPLOYMENT WOULD TAKE
PLACE A FRACTION OF A SECOND BEFORE THE COLLISION.
THIS WILL EITHER PREVENT THE ACCIDENT OR GREATLY REDUCE ITS
SCOPE.
DESCRIPTIONS WILL INCLUDE MANUAL AS WELL AS LASER-COMPUTER
DIRECTED VISUAL DEPLOYMENTS THAT WILL ACTIVATE ONLY IN
INESCAPABLE COLLISION SITUATIONS.
APPLICABILITY: CARS, TRUCKS, TRAINS, TRAILERS SNOWMOBILES ETC.
Un nombre croissant d'enfants et d'adultes de santé fragile ont été tués par le déploiement soudain de coussins gonflables lors d'accidents à faible vitesse (source : Department of Transportation, États-Unis, dossier 74-14 daté du 8-13-1997). Un des facteurs clé était la proximité de la victime par rapport au coussin gonflable déployé. L'introduction de coussins gonflables extérieurs comme complément au système actuel éliminerait souvent le besoin de déployer le coussin gonflable intérieur lors d'accident à faible vitesse. Le présent système se distingue par le fait que se coussin pourrait se déployer une fraction de seconde avant la collision, ce qui préviendrait l'accident ou en réduirait considérablement la gravité. La présente invention fait état de déploiements visuels manuels et de déploiements visuels dirigés par un système de laser informatisé. Le déclenchement du coussin gonflable n'est commandé que dans le cas de collisions inévitables. La présente invention s'applique à des voitures, des camions, des trains, des roulottes, des moto-neiges, etc.
