Protection system for road users has controller for computing control signal for controlling protection device(s) depending on first and second signals, controller for controlling protection device(s) depending on computed control signal

摘要

The system (20) has a first device for detecting a first measurement parameter and simultaneously generating a corresponding first signal for indicating a need to control a protection device, a second device for detecting an acceleration value in the z-direction and simultaneously generating a corresponding second signal, a controller for computing a control signal for controlling at least one protection device depending on the first and second signals and a controller for controlling the at least one protection device (25,26) depending on the computed control signal. An independent claim is also included a method of controlling an inventive system in a vehicle.
