| Summary: | EP 0 419 455 B1 discloses a control system for triggering a restraining means in a motor vehicle in which a sensor device supplies a longitudinal acceleration signal and a transverse acceleration signal. A triggering signal for the restraining means for protection against head-on impacts is generated as a function of the longitudinal acceleration signal and the transverse acceleration signal by a downstream evaluation device of the control system.
A control system for vehicle occupant protection device in a motor vehicle has a sensor device with an X-Y acceleration sensor and a further analog sensor. The acceleration signal of the analog sensor which is rotated in its sensitivity axis by preferably 45° with respect to one of the sensitivity axes of the X-Y acceleration sensor is used here as a safing signal for checking the acceleration signals supplied by the X-Y acceleration sensor. |
