Description

Protection system and protection method for dealing with automobile rear-end collision
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of automobile safety protection, in particular to a protection system and a protection method for dealing with automobile rear-end collision.
Background
As the automobile safety evaluation standards, there are C-NCAP, E-NCAP, J-NCAP, IIHS and the like. Wherein C-NCAP is named China New Car Association Program, china New Car evaluation procedure; the E-NCAP is called European New Car Association, european Union New Car safety evaluation Association, and is also one of the most authoritative safety certification organizations in the automobile world; IIHS, the national Institute for Highway Safety, is one of the most authoritative Safety certification authorities in the automotive field, and has the most stringent collision test standard; J-NCAP, commonly known as Japan New Car Association Program, is a Japanese New Car evaluation protocol. The E-NCAP has been the benchmark of the industry. The requirements of the E-NCAP are higher and stricter, and the C-NCAP and the J-NCAP are improved by taking the E-NCAP as a wind vane. In the automobile collision, evaluation mechanisms such as C-NCAP, E-NCAP, J-NCAP, IIHS and the like can evaluate the damage to the human body based on different types of collision working conditions.
In the actual use of an automobile, rear-end collision belongs to a very typical road traffic accident, in the rear-end collision accident, the movement of a passenger of a collided vehicle is in a backward relative movement form, the head and the neck are main damage parts, and the whole damage mechanism is caused by overlarge or too fast relative movement between the head and the upper trunk. Whiplash injury refers to a whiplash-like motion of the neck of a vehicle, which is collided by a driver or a passenger, under the combined action of collision acceleration and head inertia force during a rear-end collision. After an accident, the neck of the injured person feels discomfort to a different extent, and the injury is not fatal, but the process of rehabilitation after the injury is very complicated and long, and some permanent injuries are even incurable. In the existing security evaluation institutions at home and abroad, a whip test is generally adopted to evaluate the corresponding performance characterization.
In the existing coping method, the active headrest is mainly adopted, the gap between the head and the human body is reduced, and the like, and the backrest airbag is rarely adopted for optimization. For example, headrest device of initiative protection, the device include headrest, piston rod, controller, and the headrest includes headrest moving part that can remove, fixes the headrest fixed part on car seat, has the cylinder in the headrest fixed part, cylinder inner wall with piston rod's one end sliding connection, piston rod's the other end with headrest moving part is fixed, and the one end that headrest moving part was kept away from to the cylinder is connected with inflation equipment, and the lateral wall of cylinder still is connected with the disappointing pipe, the below of headrest fixed part is equipped with passenger's head displacement sensor, and the one end that headrest fixed part was kept away from to headrest moving part is equipped with pressure sensor, and cylinder inner wall is equipped with cylinder displacement sensor. The scheme is only based on headrest protection aiming at rear-end collision, and the whole protection under the whole rear-end collision working condition cannot be realized.
Among the existing coping approaches, there is also a rear collision avoidance and mitigation system that uses data collected from host vehicle sensors to generate a virtual map of objects approaching the host vehicle at least on the front and rear sides, with an on-board computer determining traffic conditions in front of and behind the host vehicle. Determining from the virtual map that a frontal collision and a rear collision will occur, and deciding one or more damage mitigation measures based on the determination that the frontal collision and the rear collision will occur. In particular, the on-board computer determines a collision avoidance maneuver, the computer instructs the vehicle control unit to implement the collision avoidance maneuver, the computer may additionally or alternatively transmit the collision avoidance maneuver to the driver via the interface, and in the case of an unavoidable collision, the computer determines and initiates the damage mitigation measures. The scheme is a control system and a method for reducing collision damage by sensing collision state to control the movement of the whole vehicle and adjusting the posture, and the whole control strategy has huge cost and is very difficult to realize.
