发明名称 Crash sensor systems utilizing vehicular inertial properties
摘要 Electronic crash sensor system for a vehicle including at least one inertial measurement device arranged on the vehicle to measure an inertial property of the vehicle, a processor that incorporates or executes a crash sensing algorithm that determines whether the vehicle is sensing a crash based on the inertial property measured by each inertial measurement device and a positioning system arranged on the vehicle to provide its position. The inertial property measured by each inertial measurement device is modified based on the position and then provided to the crash sensing algorithm such that the crash sensing algorithm determines whether the vehicle is sensing a crash based on the modified inertial property measured by each inertial measurement device. Self-testing of each inertial measurement device is not performed.

主权项 1. An arrangement for a vehicle, comprising: an electronic crash sensor system, comprising: at least one inertial measurement device arranged on the vehicle to measure an inertial property of the vehicle;a processor that incorporates or executes a crash sensing algorithm that determines whether the vehicle is sensing a crash based on the inertial property measured by each of said at least one inertial measurement device; anda positioning system arranged on the vehicle to provide a position of said positioning system that is considered as a position of the vehicle,the inertial property measured by each of said at least one inertial measurement device being modified based on the position provided by said positioning system and then provided to said crash sensing algorithm such that said crash sensing algorithm determines whether the vehicle is sensing a crash based on the modified inertial property measured by each of said at least one inertial measurement device,whereby self-testing of said at least one inertial measurement device is not performed; and at least one occupant protection device arranged on the vehicle, each of said at least one occupant protection device being coupled to said crash sensor system and being actuated based on the determination by said crash sensing algorithm whether the vehicle is sensing a crash.
