Abstract text

A garment, provided with at least one inflatable protecting device, adapted to be worn by a person travelling on a moving means, comprises a radio receiver (34, 35), a trigger circuit (33) and non-volatile memories (32, 37). A programmable logic unit (31) interfacing with the radio receiver (35) and communicating with remote radio transmitters (24, 25) mounted on a moving means through an identification code, manages and stores in the memories (37) the identification codes detected by the radio receiver (35). The wearer of the garment can in this way select, via an interface (40), a code among those available in the memory (37). Use: actuation of air bags incorporated in the garment in case of detection of an accident. Advantages: management of the mutual electronic recognition of the garment and the moving means.
