Controler for triggering airbags only allows airbag triggering if front wheel is decelerated to null with antilock braking system activated, whether brakes are activated or not

摘要

The controler receives and evaluates input signals and produces a triggering signal under defined conditions. A sensor detects front wheel rotation or deceleration and generates a corresponding signal. If an anti-lock braking system is present an activation signal is produced to activate it. The controler only allows airbag triggering if the front wheel is decelerated to null with the ABS activated, whether the brakes are activated or not. The controler has a control device that receives and evaluates input signals and produces a signal that leads to an airbag being triggered under defined conditions. A sensor detects rotation or deceleration of a front wheel and generates a corresponding signal. If an anti-lock braking system is present an activation signal is produced to activate it. The controler only allows airbag triggering if the front wheel is decelerated to null with the antilock braking system activated, whether the brakes are activated or not. Independent claims are also included for the following: a method of triggering airbags, especially for single-track vehicles.
