Abstract

Provided is an apparatus for protecting a passenger of an automobile, including: an automobile body; a biaxial FIS sensor mounted at a front center of the automobile body to sense decelerations on an X axis which is in a length direction of the automobile body and a Y axis which is in a width direction of the automobile body during an automobile impact; a deceleration meter sensing a first deceleration during the automobile impact; and a controller determining an airbag splaying time based on a displacement value and a predicted displacement value moving forward from an initial position of the passenger calculated based on the first deceleration, and an X-axial velocity variation and a Y-axial velocity variation measured from the biaxial FIS sensor.
