COLLISION DETERMINATION DEVICE AND VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17890008 titled 'COLLISION DETERMINATION DEVICE AND VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a collision determination device and a vehicle equipped with the device. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The collision determination device is designed to communicate with multiple sensors in a vehicle.
- It includes a processor that analyzes the information received from the sensors to identify a lateral collision force and a collision moment generated in the vehicle.
- Based on this analysis, the device determines whether a collision has occurred in the vehicle.
Potential Applications:
- Automotive industry: The collision determination device can be used in vehicles to enhance safety features and provide real-time collision detection.
- Insurance industry: The device can be utilized by insurance companies to assess the severity and impact of collisions, helping in claim settlements and risk assessment.
Problems Solved:
- Accurate collision detection: The device solves the problem of accurately determining whether a collision has occurred in a vehicle by analyzing data from multiple sensors.
- Real-time response: By quickly identifying collisions, the device enables immediate response, such as activating safety measures or alerting emergency services.
Benefits:
- Enhanced safety: The collision determination device improves vehicle safety by accurately detecting collisions and enabling timely response.
- Efficient claims processing: Insurance companies can benefit from the device's ability to assess collision severity, leading to more efficient claim processing and accurate risk assessment.
Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosure relates to a collision determination device and a vehicle having the same. The collision determination device comprises a communicator configured communicate with a plurality of sensors, and a processor configured to identify a lateral collision force and a collision moment generated in a vehicle based on detection information of the plurality of sensors received through the communicator, and determine whether a collision of the vehicle occurs based on the lateral collision force and the collision moment.
