CONTROL DEVICE FOR A PASSENGER SAFETY DEVICE FOR MOTOR VEHICLES

摘要

In a control device for a passenger safety device the safety device is triggered by a sensor arrangement which responds to a longitudinal and/or transverse acceleration of the motor vehicle and, independently thereof, by an additional state of motion sensor which recognises a state close to weightlessness. Thus the safety device is triggered even in the extremely critical state of motion in which the motor vehicle moves in a similar way to free fall.
