Description
実施例の衝突検知センサは、車両Vの車両バンパに配設されるセンサである。実施例の衝突検知センサの構成を模式的に図1に示した。
本形態は、上記衝突検知センサのイニシャルチェック時に光ファイバ2に照射される光が異なる。本形態のイニシャルチェックは、LED30が発する光が、二つの異なる強度をもつ矩形波状の強度変化をもつ光とした。本形態のイニシャルチェックにおいてLED30が発する光の強度を図6に示した。図6に示したように、LED30は、高強度部と低強度部の二つの強度をもつ連続した光を発する。
本形態は、上記衝突検知センサのイニシャルチェック時に光ファイバ2に照射される光が異なる。本形態のイニシャルチェックは、LED30が発する光が、実際に車両のバンパに外部の物体が衝突したときの透過光と同じ強度変化をもつ光である。本形態のイニシャルチェックにおいてLED30が発する光の強度を図8に示した。図8に示したように、LED30は、略パルス状の光を発する。

- 車両の外周部に延設される光ファイバと、
該光ファイバの一方の端部に照射される光を発する発光手段と、
該光ファイバの他方の端部から発せられる光を受光する受光手段と、
該発光手段および該受光手段と接続され、該発光手段を発光させるための出力信号を発するとともに該受光手段が受光して発する受光信号が入力され、該出力信号と該受光信号とから該光ファイバの変化を判定する演算手段と、
を備え、該発光手段が発する光と該受光手段が受光する光とから該車両への衝突を検知する車両用の衝突検知センサであって、
動作開始時に、該発光手段を発光して光を該光ファイバに透過させ、該受光手段が受光した光の強度を、該発光手段が発した光の強度に基づいて予め決定された第一しきい値及び該第一しきい値より大きな第二しきい値と比較し、該受光手段が受光した光の強度が該第一しきい値より大きくかつ該第二しきい値よりも小さいときに該衝突検知センサが正常であると判定するイニシャルチェックを行うことを特徴とする衝突検知センサ。 - 前記イニシャルチェックにおいて前記発光手段が発する光は、異なる強度をもつ光であり、
判定は、高強度部の光と低強度部の光を受光できるように、発光開始から複数の異なる時間で受光した光の強度に基づいて行われる請求項1記載の衝突検知センサ。 - 前記イニシャルチェックにおいて前記発光手段が発する光は、前記車両への衝突時に検出される波形の光である請求項1記載の衝突検知センサ。
