DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING A RIGIDITY OF AN ACTIVE CRASH STRUCTURE FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a device and method for adjusting a rigidity of an active crash structure for a vehicle. A parallel arrangement of deformation elements and a controller are provided. The controller adjusts the rigidity by means of connecting and/or disconnecting the deformation elements as a function of a crash event and/or at least one crash-relevant parameter.
