The application relates to a hierarchical double-tank coordinated inflation method and device based on head collision point prediction, and belongs to the technical field of
airbag inflation. The method comprises the following steps: taking the midpoint of a vehicle bumper as an origin, taking the vehicle head direction as an x axis, taking the left side of the vehicle as a y axis, establishing a coordinate
system, and converting a vehicle front collision area into a plurality of line segments in the coordinate
system; based on the height of a
pedestrian, the distance from the
pedestrian to the origin, the relative speed, the
azimuth angle and the body inclination angle of the
pedestrian, the initial coordinates of the head of the pedestrian, the velocity components of the pedestrian on the x axis and the y axis are calculated; the head prediction coordinates and the
shortest distance of each
line segment are calculated, the
line segment corresponding to the
shortest distance less than a first preset threshold value is determined as a
target line segment, and the remaining time from the
current time to the occurrence of the collision is determined; based on the
target line segment, the remaining time and the required inflation time of each
airbag, an inflation strategy is determined. The method provided by the application improves the inflation efficiency and realizes that the external safety
airbag is inflated when the personnel collides with the vehicle.
