<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a collision discriminating device by surely discriminating whether a collided object is a walker or not, and select the operation for saving the walker and occupants. SOLUTION: In this collision discriminating device for vehicle comprising a collision detecting means for detecting the collision on the basis of the deformation of a collided surface 10 of vehicle, and a collided object assuming means for assuming a collided object on the basis of an output signal from the collision detecting means 1, the collision detecting means 1 is formed by an electrostatic capacity-type collision detecting sensor part 14 formed by counter electrodes mounted on the collision surface 10 at specific intervals and a dielectric formed by an elastic member inserted between the counter electrodes, and detects the change of electrostatic capacity in accompany with the collision to output an electric signal. A discriminating means 24 compares the electric signal from the collision detecting means 1 with the date on a map formed and stored in advance for every speed, to determine the collided object on the basis of the intensity of shock by collision.</p> |
