ABSTRACT:
An occupant protection system activates at least one reversible occupant protection device installed in a vehicle and allowed for a repetitive operation. The occupant protection system includes an obstacle detector that detects a presence of an obstacle around the vehicle and a controller connected to the at least one reversible occupant protection device. The controller makes a prediction of a collision of the vehicle with the obstacle on the basis of a detection signal of the obstacle detector, makes a confirmation of the collision of the vehicle with the obstacle subsequent to the prediction of the collision, and activates the at least one reversible occupant protection device subsequent to the prediction, and cancels activation of the at least one reversible occupant protection device when no confirmation of the collision of the vehicle with the obstacle is made.
