PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an airbag device between seats for a vehicle of which timing of deployment of an airbag is changed according to a pose, during a side impact, of an occupant sitting on a front passenger seat, in order to protect the sitting occupant reliably.SOLUTION: The airbag device between seats for a vehicle includes: an airbag unit for a side impact, disposed between a seat of a driving seat and a seat of a front passenger seat; an impact detection sensor for detecting the side impact on the left side and the right side of a vehicle; deployment control means for receiving output of the impact detection sensor, and inflating and deploying the airbag unit during the side impact; and a CPU for controlling the airbag unit, the impact detection sensor, and the deployment control means. The airbag device between seats for a vehicle further includes: a load sensor provided at the seat of the front passenger seat, for detecting the load caused by a sitting occupant; and sitting posture estimation means for estimating sitting posture of the occupant sitting on the seat of the front passenger seat, according to the load detected by the load sensor. The CPU controls deployment timing of the deployment control means on the basis of the sitting posture estimated by the posture estimation means.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】着座乗員の確実な保護のため助手席の着座乗員の側突時の姿勢に応じて、エアバックの展開のタイミングを変えた車両用座席間エアバック装置を提供すること。【解決手段】運転席のシートと助手席のシートの間に配置された側突用のエアバックユニットと、車両の左側及び右側への側突を検知する衝撃検知センサと、衝撃検知センサの出力を受けて側突時に前記エアバックユニットを膨張展開させる展開制御手段と、それらを制御するCPUと、を有する車両用座席間エアバック装置において、助手席のシートに設けられ着座した乗員に起因する荷重を検知する荷重センサと、荷重センサにより検知した荷重により助手席のシートに着座した乗員の着座姿勢を推定する着座姿勢推定手段と、を更に有し、CPUは、姿勢推定手段により推定した着座姿勢に基づいて展開制御手段の展開タイミングを制御するようにした。【選択図】図1
