Abstract
A collision detection device for a vehicle has a control unit which determines a collision with the vehicle, a left main sensor arranged at the vehicle left portion, a right main sensor arranged at the vehicle right portion, a middle sub sensor arranged at the substantial middle portion of the vehicle, a left sub bus for connecting the middle sub sensor with the left main sensor, a left main bus for connecting the left main sensor with the control unit, a right sub bus for connecting the middle sub sensor with the right main sensor, and a right main bus for connecting the right main sensor with the control unit. Thus, the single middle sub sensor is provided for the collision detection of the vehicle right portion and that of the vehicle left portion, respectively with the right main sensor and the left main senor.
