摘要:
An apparatus for protecting a vehicle occupant that triggers a restraint means as a function of the vehicle occupant's motion in the context of an accident. The motion is predicted in that by using an occupant detection system and an impact sensor system, a height of the center of mass of the vehicle occupant and a force action on the vehicle occupant are determined, and the motion of the vehicle occupant is thereby predicted.

摘要:
A method for triggering restraint devices is described in which various algorithms determine values as a function of at least one sensor signal, which are combined to form a measure, and in which the restraint devices are triggered as a function of the measure influenced by at least one signal from a passenger-compartment sensor system.

A method and a device are for evaluating sensor signals from a seat mat in a vehicle seat, the signals functioning to characterize the sensors in the seat mat as active and inactive. In this manner, a linear evaluation method is performed to make possible a weight classification of passengers situated on the vehicle seat. For this purpose, a seat profile is generated using the active and inactive sensors.

A method for adjusting the sensor cells of a seat mat to a mechanical stress caused by the installation of the seat mat in a vehicle seat, a diagnostic tester being connected to a control unit at the seat mat, and the diagnostic tester reads out the sensor values of the seat mat and compares them to setpoint values, in order then to transmit back correcting values to the control unit, which the control unit uses in further operation for calibrating the sensor values.

A device for classifying persons or objects, in particular for occupant classification in a motor vehicle, includes an arrangement for acquiring characteristic data on the person to be classified or the object to the classified; at least one algorithm for extracting features from the instantaneously acquired characteristic data; at least one filter for determining the classification of the person or the object from the instantaneously extracted features, taking into account the time progression of the features extracted for the person to be classified or the object to be classified; and a first counter for initiating the resetting of the filter when the algorithm, during the first time interval specified by the first counter, has exclusively provided features for the non-presence of a person or an object, so that the resetting behavior of the algorithm, or the filter downstream from the algorithm, may be decoupled from the output of the determined classification in a simple manner. A holding member is connected downstream from the filter to forward the classification determined by the filter, and a second counter is provided to initiate the resetting of the holding member if the algorithm, even after the second time interval specified by the second counter has elapsed, has provided only features for the non-presence of a person or an object.

A device for classifying the seat occupancy in a motor vehicle by which the accuracy in the detection of child seats may be increased is provided. The seats of the motor vehicle are each equipped with a safety belt, a belt buckle for the safety belt and a belt-buckle switch. The device includes at least one belt-force sensor for at least one safety belt. According to the present invention, the belt-force sensor and the belt-buckle switch assigned to the respective safety belt are interconnected in such a way that the output signals of the belt-force sensor and the belt-buckle switch are combined into one belt-buckle output signal.

A safety system for vehicle occupants having a device for determining the position of the vehicle occupant. A status monitor to which the output signals of sensors are conveyed is provided for determining the position of the vehicle occupant, the sensors detecting the acceleration of the vehicle and the weight of the vehicle occupant. A method for controlling a safety system.
摘要:
An apparatus for determining inherent vehicle velocity determines the inherent vehicle velocity using the pre-crash sensor suite. The determination is performed on the basis of signals reflected from road surfaces. The determination is performed only when a predefined operating state exists, such as a locked, slipping or suspended wheel.

An apparatus for determining physiological data is provided for determining age of a vehicle passenger in the context of safety apparatus deployment. For picking up the physiological data, a sensor is used. In particular, the apparatus is configured for measuring the pupil size, which is a good parameter for distinguishing age. This parameter may be correlated with further measured values, in order to put the age determination on a reliable basis.
