Collision sensor for motor vehicles has sensor component of deformable material with individual sensors distributed on its surface and on its under surface remote from first surface

摘要

The device has a sensor component made of a deformable material with several individual sensors distributed on its surface and on its under surface remote from the first surface. The sensors on one surface can be offset with respect to and/or arranged above those on the other surface. The sensor component can be multilayer with individual sensors distributed on several layers. Independent claims are also included for the following: a method of detecting forces acting on a vehicle component in a crash.
