The independent lateral and vertical accelerations of the running vehicle are detected, after which the absolute values of both accelerations are obtained and compared separately with threshold values. The vehicle driving is judged to be in critical condition e.g. rollover condition, or otherwise, based on the comparison result. The safety mechanism e.g. airbag apparatus, is activated when the driving situation is critical. An independent claim is also included for a vehicle safety mechanism. |
