DEFORMATION DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A SHORTENING OF A DEFORMATION DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a deformation device (100) for a vehicle. The deformation device (100) here has a deformation element (105) which is designed to be shortened in the longitudinal direction by energy from an impact of the vehicle. The deformation device (100) has at least two electrodes (110, 112) which are arranged on the deformation element (105). Finally, the deformation device (100) has an interface (120) for connecting the at least two electrodes (110, 112) to a resistance-measuring unit in order to measure a resistance between the at least two electrodes (110, 112).
