摘要:
An apparatus (10) for controlling a vehicle actuatable occupant restraining system including a crash accelerometer (32) for sensing frontal crash acceleration and providing a first crash acceleration signal indicative thereof. A side crash accelerometer (46, 48) senses transverse crash acceleration and provides a second crash acceleration signal indicative thereof. A controller (50) actuates the actuatable occupant restraining system in response to the first crash acceleration signal and the transverse crash acceleration signal.
摘要:
An apparatus for controlling an actuatable restraint (14) in a vehicle (12) includes an accelerometer (10) for providing a crash acceleration signal. A velocity determiner (60) determines a crash velocity value from the crash acceleration signal. A first comparator (62) compares the determined crash velocity value against a velocity threshold value (64). A displacement determiner (70) determines a crash displacement value from the crash acceleration signal. A second comparator (72) compares the determined crash displacement value against a displacement threshold value (74). A deployment determiner (50) is coupled to and responsive to the accelerometer (10) for determining if a deployment crash event is occurring and for providing a deployment control signal when it determines that a deployment crash event is occurring. The deployment control signal is further processed (80, 82) so that the deployment control signal is prevented from actuating the actuatable restraint (14) when the determined velocity value is greater than said velocity threshold value and the determined displacement value is greater than the displacement threshold value.
