<p>The invention relates to a method for controlling the triggering of passive restraint means in vehicles, such as seat belt pretensioners, frontal and lateral airbag systems, and the like. According to the invention, a detection system which is directed towards the front of the vehicle processes continuously detected peripheral data, and predicts whether the vehicle is likely to overturn or not about the longitudinal axis thereof, by means of a prediction method, on the basis of a rotation of said vehicle about the longitudinal axis of the same. According to said prediction, the passive restraint means can be triggered in a crash-specific manner with a high degree of security and protection against false triggering. The rotation of the vehicle is detected by means of image processing.</p> |
