Sensor device for detecting pedestrian impact in front of motor vehicle, has sensor element integrated in lower load plane of motor vehicle front, particularly front-end module for detecting accidental force application on covering element

摘要

The sensor device has a sensor element (26) that is integrated in a lower load plane (L) of a motor vehicle front (10), particularly a front-end module (14). The sensor element detects an accidental application of force to a covering element (12) of the motor vehicle front. The accidental application of force to the covering element is detected by another covering element (16) that is connected with the sensor element. The sensor element is provided in a central area of a subfloor of the latter panel element.
