Abstract

The present invention relates to a logic for an air bag system for protecting the vehicles, obstacle(s), passenger(s), and pedestrian(s) from a collision by using an external detection system, detectable coating material, wireless system, internal detection system, computer processing unit, at least one external air bag inflation device and at least one internal air bag inflation device. Particularly for an effective use of this system, the present invention describes a method for distinguishing objects, a method for applying a minimum allowable time window to a CPU process, a method for calculating information as to the portion of a roadway obstacle located within a blind zone, a method for using clampers to control inflation size of an external air bag installed on a roadway vehicle, a method for an inflated external air bag installed on an obstacle, and a method for increasing an effectiveness of the absorption capability and capacity of an inflated air bag.
