Controlling restraining arrangements involves controlling arrangement depending on crash severity and/or crash type determined for each phase of crash from at least one crash-characterization signal

摘要

The method involves generating at least one crash-characterization signal, specifying time-defined crash phases after detecting an impact, determining a crash type (202-204) and crash severity (206-208) for each crash phase using the generated signal and controlling a corresponding restraining arrangement (210) depending on the determined crash severity and/or the crash type. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: (a) the use of an arrangement for controlling restraining arrangements by implementing the inventive method.
