    摘要: A device for triggering at least one external protection function for a motor vehicle for the protection of external road users in particular need of protection, in particular for the protection of pedestrians, includes a control unit for evaluating sensor data from a first sensor system for sensing collision objects and for outputting a first trigger signal for the at least one external protection function, as well as an auxiliary control unit for evaluating sensor data from a second sensor system for sensing collision objects and for directly outputting a second trigger signal for the at least one external protection function if a collision object was detected, the auxiliary control unit being adapted such that the control unit is bypassed when the second trigger signal is output.

    摘要: A pre-crash seat actuator system for moving a vehicle seat includes an occupant protection control system that determines a collision is imminent and provides a trigger signal and an enable signal. A vehicle seat controller receives the trigger signal and determines a moving the vehicle seat to a desired position to mitigate severity of a collision. In response to the trigger signal, the vehicle seat controller provides a fast mode voltage for moving the vehicle seat in a fast mode. A smart control adapter determines whether the fast mode voltage and the enable signal are both received, to provide the fast mode voltage to a vehicle seat electric drive. In another embodiment, the vehicle seat controller receives the trigger signal and a collision signal to provide fast mode voltage, and the seat is returned to an original position when a crash does not occur.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for changing a forward displacement (104) of an occupant (106) of a vehicle (100) during braking of the vehicle (100). Initially, a seat belt status signal (112) which represents a status of a seat belt (108) for buckling in the occupant (106), and an occupant position signal which represents a position and/or location of the occupant (106) in the vehicle (100) and/or a change in the position and/or the location are read in. The two signals are processed to ascertain the forward displacement (104). Finally, at least one control signal (120, 121, 138) for controlling a braking device (122) of the vehicle (100) and/or at least one restraint means (108, 132) for restraining the occupant (106) is/are generated as a function of the forward displacement (104) in order to alter the forward displacement (104).
