Abstract: The collision of a vehicle (10) with a pedestrian is detected by the presence of a foreign object in a sensing zone (30/30') above the hood (14) of the vehicle (10) within a prescribed time of an initial impact with the bumper (14) of the vehicle (10). The initial impact is detected with an acceleration sensor (20) disposed in or near the front bumper (14) and the sensing zone (30/30') is defined by object detection sensors (22) disposed on the hood (14) or behind the windshield (28) of the vehicle (10). Vehicle speed is used to discriminate against events that occur while the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly (42-44).

Abstract: The empty vs. non-empty status of a cargo container (10) is detected based on boundary analysis of a wide-angle image obtained by a monocular vision system (14). The wide-angle image is warped (56) to remove distortion created by the vision system optics (18a), and the resulting image is edge-processed (58) to identify the boundaries of the container floor (10e). If package boundaries are detected within the floor space (82), or a large foreground package is blocking the floor boundaries (86), the cargo status is set to non-empty (84). If floor boundaries (24a, 24b) are detected and no package boundaries are detected within the floor space (82, 86), the cargo status is set to empty (88).

Abstract: A satellite module (12, 14, 16) mounted near the periphery of a vehicle (10) inboard of a body panel such as a bumper (18) or side door panel (20a, 22a) includes both primary and secondary (sating) sensors (36, 37). Response time is enhanced by co-locating the sensors (36, 37) in a satellite module (12, 14, 16), and reliability is enhanced by utilizing different sensing technologies for the co-located sensors (36, 37). In a preferred embodiment, either the primary or secondary sensor (36, 37) is responsive to airflow inboard of the body panel (18, 20a, 22a) due to a crash event.

Abstract: A supplemental restraint deployment method utilizes measured vehicle speed (16) and acceleration (14) and the output of a closing velocity sensor (18) that detects the presence and closing rate of an approaching object prior to contact with the vehicle (10). The closing velocity and vehicle speed are utilized for classification of an impending crash event (40-54), where the deployment options vary depending on the crash classification. In the ensuing crash event, a classification-dependent algorithm (56/60-74/90-122) is executed to determine if, when and what level of restraint deployment is warranted based on measures of actual crash severity. Additionally, the algorithm is reset when the calculated change in vehicle velocity reaches the initial closing velocity (64-65/94-95).

Abstract: Impacts with a vehicle body panel (18, 20a, 22a) are detected by sensing airflow inboard of the vehicle body panel. The airflow can be measured by heated element sensor (40), a Pitot tube sensor (60), a venturi sensor (50) or other airflow-responsive sensor. For side impact detection, the sensor (14, 16) is located in a door (20, 22) or pillar on the side of the vehicle (10); for frontal impact detection, the sensor (12) may be located behind the front bumper (18). Multiple sensors (82, 84) mounted in distributed locations can be used to determine the location and extent of an impact.
