Method for controlling an occupant protection device in a vehicle, and a control device therefor

摘要

In a method for controlling an occupant protection device in a vehicle and a control device therefor, a crash sensor supplies a crash signal. A crash variable derived from the crash signal is compared with a threshold, the occupant protection device is controlled as a function of the overshooting of the threshold by the crash variable. The threshold includes at least one term which, depending on the configuration of the crash signal, supplies a contribution which raises the threshold or a contribution which lowers the threshold.
