Controller for occupant protection device has control unit connected to spatial and front acceleration sensors that decides whether vehicle is in collision and drives protection device if so

摘要

The controller has at least one spatial acceleration sensor (8) arranged in a volume in the vehicle to detect its acceleration, at least one front acceleration sensor (6,7) arranged in a front part of the vehicle to detect its acceleration and a control unit (1) connected to the acceleration sensors that decides whether the vehicle is in a collision and that drives the protection device (9) in a collision state based on at least one of the sensor signals.
