Verfahren und Einrichtung zum Schutz von Fahrzeuginsassen

摘要

The vehicule-occupant protection device proposed includes at least one acceleration sensor (10), an electronic device for processing the output signal from the acceleration sensor (10) and protection equipment (30) for the vehicle occupants. The device makes it possible to carry out a procedure for the timely actuation of the protection equipment (30) by the electronic device by estimating values for the future displacement of a vehicle occupant and/or the occupant's relative velocity with respect to the passenger compartment and comparing the estimated values with predetermined limits.
