Abstract
A starting device of an occupant protective system includes an angular velocity or acceleration sensor 11 for detecting the behavior of a vehicle, processing sections 131 and 132 for performing two or more computations using different subtrahends on a physical quantity based on the output from the sensor 11, a comparing section 133 for comparing absolute values of outputs from the processing sections 131 and 132, a selecting section 134 for selecting the output value of the processing sections 131 and 132 with the minimum absolute value, and a decision section 135 for making a decision as to the necessity for starting the occupant protective system in accordance with the output value selected.
