AIRBAG APPARATUS

An airbag apparatus to be applied to a vehicle includes airbags, a pre-crash determiner, an airbag deployment controller, and an airbag contraction controller. The airbags are configured to be deployed forward of a vehicle body front of the vehicle, and are disposed in a vehicle width direction. The pre-crash determiner is configured to establish a pre-crash determination when a probability of a collision with an object is a predetermined value or higher. The airbag deployment controller is configured to deploy the airbags in response to establishment of the pre-crash determination. The airbag contraction controller is configured to control contraction of the airbags individually, and perform side airbag contraction control by contracting one of the airbags that is on one side in the vehicle width direction and in a region where the collision with the object is occurring, and keeping deployed another one or more of the airbags in the region.
