Abstract

For achieving a collision safety control device having improved a reliability of airbag deployment at an offset collision or the like without providing a contact part with a cab, a ground wire is connected to a plurality of portions of a vehicle body frame, in which two of the plurality of portions may be mutually separated by more than a width of the frame and the ground wire may comprise a first portion connecting from the collision safety control device to the cab and a second portion connecting from the cab to the frame.

Claims

1. A collision safety control device having a ground wire connected to a plurality of portions of a vehicle body frame.

2. The collision safety control device as claimed in claim 1, wherein two of the plurality of portions are mutually separated by more than a width of the frame.

3. The collision safety control device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ground wire comprises a first portion connecting from the collision safety control device to a cab and a second portion connecting from the cab to the frame.
