Automobile passenger restraint triggering device combines raw data from external sensor unit with data from central sensor unit before threshold comparison for providing triggering signal

摘要

The device has a central control unit (ECU) incorporating a central sensor unit (SZ) and at least one external sensor unit for providing raw data, combined with data from the central sensor unit and compared with a threshold value for supplying a triggering signal to a triggering unit (AE1) for the passenger restraint. An Independent claim for a triggering method for an automobile passenger restraint is also included.
