DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING A PERSON LOCATED WITHIN AN UPCOMING SPATIAL DISPLACEMENT REGION IN THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL OF A VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a device and a method for protecting a person (2) located within an upcoming spatial displacement region (6) in the direction of travel (4) of a vehicle (1), wherein the displacement region (6) includes a spatial region displaced by the vehicle (1) when travelling. In order to improve the protection of the person, the device comprises a deflection unit (30) of the vehicle (1) which is designed to deflect the person (2) out of the displacement region (6) when the vehicle (1) is travelling, and which comprises a cushion element (34). The deflection unit (30) can be made into a shape that brings about the deflection action by filling the cushion element (34) with gas.
