Sensor arrangement for detecting impact of object on sport utility vehicle, has sensors comprising distance detection arrangement to detect change of distance between detection electrode and structure electrode by voltage

摘要

The arrangement has an airbag controller (100d) and sensors such as upfront sensor (100a), peripheral acceleration sensor (100b) and a peripheral pressure sensor (100c). Each sensor has a distance detection arrangement for detecting change of distance between a distance detection electrode and a structure electrode by voltage applied between the distance detection electrode and the contact terminal during an impact of an object on a vehicle (110). The change of distance is detected based on capacity or voltage-change between the distance detection electrode and the contact terminal. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for releasing support units of a motor vehicle (2) a computer program having a set of instructions to execute a method for releasing support units of a motor vehicle.
