Device for detecting collision of first object onto second object in a motor vehicle, has deformable hollow body filled with fluid, where hollow body is located on first object

摘要

The device (10) has a deformable hollow body (12) filled with a fluid (11). The hollow body is located on the first object. A first sensor (13) is coupled with the hollow body for detecting a pressure change in the hollow body in response to the impact. A second sensor (14) is coupled with the hollow body for detecting a deformation of the hollow body in response to the impact. The second sensor is connected with a sheath of deformable hollow body. An independent claim is included for a method for detecting a collision of a first object onto a second object in a motor vehicle.
