Abstract
A method is provided for generating a triggering decision for a restraint system, in which method the triggering decision is generated as a function of a conjunction of the vehicle lateral acceleration and a rate of rotation. The vehicle lateral acceleration is additionally subjected to a threshold value decision, the respective threshold value being set as a function of at least one component of the velocity of the vehicle'"'"'s center of gravity.

8. A method for generating a triggering decision for a restraint mechanism in a vehicle, comprising:
-
conjoining vehicle dynamics data including at least a vehicle lateral acceleration and a rate of rotation about the longitudinal axis of the vehicle as a part of the method for generating the triggering decision; and
comparing the vehicle lateral acceleration to a first threshold value as an additional part of the method for generating the triggering decision, wherein the first threshold value is set at least as a function of at least one component of the velocity of the vehicle'"'"'s center of gravity. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
