摘要

The collision detector comprises a deformable box (2) mounted on a backing plate (1) attached to a portion of the vehicle, e.g. the bumper. A pressure sensor (3) measures the pressure in the box and is connected to a computer which determines if the collision is with e.g. a pedestrian or another vehicle.
