Occupant protection device for a vehicle and method for driving a vehicle occupant protection device for a vehicle for early recognition of a critical driving situation

摘要

The present invention provides a vehicle occupant protection device for a vehicle for early recognition of a critical driving situation is ready, comprising: at least one reversible vehicle occupant protection device (16, 16 '', 16 ", 16"''); a first device (10) for detecting the speed of vehicle; a second device (12) for detecting the acceleration of the vehicle, at least in a direction perpendicular to the vehicle plane; an evaluation device (14) for evaluating the detected speed and the detected acceleration and for outputting an evaluation signal (14 ''), as a function of the speed and the acceleration of the vehicle and of a control means (15) for the case that the evaluation signal (14'') a threshold value which indicates a critical driving situation, a drive signal (15 '', 15 ", 15"'') for triggering of at least one reversible vehicle occupant protection device (16, 16 '', 16 ", 16"'') outputs. The invention also relates to a method for controlling a vehicle occupant protection device for a vehicle for early recognition of a critical driving situation ready.
