Method for controlling passenger protection system of motor vehicle, involves tracking inclination angle of motor vehicle against surface using multi-beam radar and triggering passenger protection system

摘要

The method involves tracking an inclination angle of a motor vehicle (1) against a surface using multi-beam radar (20) and triggering a passenger protection system (4), if the angle exceeds a threshold value. The multi-beam radar determines angle of inclination at two different points of land. An independent claim is included for a device for controlling a passenger protection system of a motor vehicle.
