AUSLÖSEVERFAHREN ZUR AKTIVIERUNG EINER LATERALGESCHWINDIGKEITSSCHÄTZUNG FÜR INSASSENSCHUTZVORRICHTUNGEN

摘要

In a triggering method for activating a lateral velocity estimating system for occupant protection devices, one or more vehicle-dynamics variables are sensed and evaluated. Based on the sensed vehicle-dynamics variables an oversteer and understeer detection procedure and a road condition detection procedure are performed, which are evaluated for activation of the lateral velocity estimating system.
