PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect a collision in an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) and to deploy an airbag prior to the actual collision as a preemptive action to reduce the possibility of injuries to the passengers riding in the ADV.SOLUTION: Perception data is received perceiving a driving environment surrounding an ADV (autonomous driving vehicle). The perception data includes perceiving an object in front of the ADV. In response the perception data, a collision detection system determines a relative speed and distance between the ADV and the object based on the perception data. The collision detection system determines whether a collision between the ADV and the object is avoidable in view of the physical driving limitation associated with the ADV. The physical driving limitation may include a maximum braking capability or a maximum deceleration rate that can be applied to the ADV. If it is determined that such a collision is unavoidable, an airbag is deployed prior to the collision between the ADV and the object.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
【課題】自動運転車両(ADV)において、衝突を検出し、実際の衝突の前に事前の動作としてエアバッグを展開することにより、ADVに乗る乗客がけがをする可能性を低減する。【解決手段】ADVの周囲の運転環境が感知された感知データを受信し、感知データは前記自動運転車両の前方に位置する対象を感知することを含む。衝突検出システムは感知データに応答し、感知データに基づいてADVと対象との相対速度及び距離を決定する。衝突検出システムはADVに関する物理運転制限に応じてADVと対象の衝突が回避可能か否かを判断する。物理運転制限は、ADVに与えられることができる最大制動能力又は最大減速率を含んでもよい。このような衝突が回避できないと判断された場合、エアバッグがADVと対象の衝突の前に展開される。【選択図】図6
