32 results about "Rear-end collision" patented technology

A rear-end collision (often called simply rear-end or in the UK a shunt) occurs when a vehicle crashes into the one in front of it. Common factors contributing to rear-end collisions include driver inattention or distraction, tailgating, panic stops, and reduced traction due to wet weather or worn pavement. Rear-end rail collisions occur when a train runs into the end of a preceding train.

Rear end collision probability calculation

Techniques for determining a rear end collision probability for a vehicle are discussed herein. The rear end collision probability can be determined based on data associated with the vehicle and an object proximate the vehicle, probability distribution data, and a vehicle maneuver value. The probability distribution data, which can be received, may represent a reaction time of the object and a maneuver value of the object. The rear end collision probability can be utilized to control the vehicle.

Rear-end collision head and neck protection devices

ActiveCN117698528BRear-end collisionHead movements
This invention provides a head and neck protection device for rear-end collisions, including a headrest seat, a first buffer assembly, and a limiting mechanism. When a rear-end collision occurs, the impacted vehicle accelerates forward, causing the head of an occupant to strike the first cushion. Upon impact, the first cushion drives a guide seat to move, compressing multiple sets of buffers. At this time, the first cushion and the multiple buffers work together to cushion the impact on the head, improving the device's buffering effect and reducing head injuries. Simultaneously, the movement of the guide seat drives the fixing assembly to release the limiting rod. The driving component then drives the limiting rod to rotate to a second state, so that the arc-shaped portion of the limiting rod faces the first cushion. When the head moves forward due to the impact reaction force, the limiting rod can contact the head, thereby limiting large-scale forward head movement, preventing neck strain, and improving the device's protective effect.

Vehicle emergency braking electromagnetic anti-collision protection system and control method thereof

This invention discloses an electromagnetic collision avoidance protection system for vehicle emergency braking and its control method. The system includes electromagnetic coil actuators (1–5) integrated inside the front and rear bumpers of the vehicle, multi-source and logic trigger detection modules (8, 9, 10), a supercapacitor energy storage group (6), a main control ECU (7), and an optional vehicle network communication module (11). When the vehicle brakes suddenly and the estimated time to collision (TTC) is no more than 1.5 seconds, the system drives the electromagnetic actuators of the bumpers to generate a strong magnetic field within 10 milliseconds, forming an electromagnetic repulsion field (12) between the vehicle and the adjacent vehicle, serving as an additional non-contact collision avoidance buffer layer outside the braking system. The system supports two working modes: eddy current induction repulsion and dual-vehicle cooperative direct magnetic repulsion. It automatically adjusts the repulsion force in three levels according to the estimated time to collision and has an event data recording function. The system response time of this invention is no more than 10 milliseconds, which can provide effective physical collision avoidance protection within a very short time window in which the driver cannot react. It works in conjunction with existing safety systems such as AEB and ABS, significantly reducing the incidence and intensity of rear-end collisions, and has high engineering feasibility and application value.
