Passenger protection device
First Claim
1. A passenger protection device, comprising a brake pedal sensor configured to detect the amount by which a brake pedal of a vehicle is operated;
- a webbing, one end of the webbing fixed to the vehicle, configured to restrain a passenger seated on a seat of the vehicle;
a retractor connected to the other end of the webbing, the retractor configured to retract the webbing and inhibit of the webbing extraction; and
an ECU electrically coupled to the brake pedal sensor, the ECU configured to detect that the brake pedal operation amount detected by the brake pedal sensor exceeds a first threshold value, the ECU configured to revise the threshold value based on safety related information of the vehicle to control the inhibition of the webbing extraction of the retractor.
