A flexible optical impact detection sensor for air bag is fastened at the front carrier

摘要

A flexible optical impact detection sensor is at an outer part of the front bumper, is attached a impact event against an offset rigid barrier on a front corner of a motor vehicle and to signal a is fastened at the front carrier air bag for a rigid barriers with a small offset to unfold. The airbag is provided in the vicinity of the distal end of a front carrier mounted. The flexible optical impact detection sensor, which is available at a rear surface of an external part of the front bumper is mounted, generates a signal in the case of impact resists structural failure to a corner, as a result of which a control unit, the signal generated by the impact detection sensor and processed at a predetermined severity of an inflator is actuated. In the inflated state, the airbag has the effect against the offset rigid barrier, that it comprises a lateral force against the offset rigid barrier produced in order to control the motor vehicle is taken from the barrier to push away and, in this way, the impact energy by lateral movement of the motor vehicle to divert.
