Abstract

See full text

A vehicular collision safety control apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes an image acquirer for acquiring an image of a face of an occupant of the vehicle, a face position acquirer for acquiring a position of the face in a three-dimensional space based on the image, a distance calculator for calculating a distance between the acquired position of the face and a reference position located in front of the face, an airbag activator for increasing airbag pressure to a predetermined pressure in response to impact detection, and a setting device for setting a waiting time from the impact detection to start of airbag inflation, so that as the calculated distance is smaller, a pressure-reach time for the airbag pressure to reach the predetermined pressure is smaller.
