Device for detecting a motor vehicle accident, comprises acceleration sensor coupled to engine bonnet such that upon deformation of bonnet, sensor rotates about an axis which is parallel to vehicle wheel axle

摘要

The device comprises an acceleration sensor (3) which is coupled to the engine bonnet (4). The sensor is fixed to the bonnet in such a way that upon deformation of the bonnet, the sensor rotates about an axis (6) which is parallel to the vehicle wheel axle. A control device (7) is connected to the sensor in order to analyze its signals.
