First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining a triggering decision for at least one restraint device in a vehicle, the method comprising the step of:
- determining the triggering decision as a function of driving dynamics data, the driving dynamics data including a float angle in combination with a sliding velocity of the vehicle, the float angle being determined as a function of a yaw rate and a steering motion, and a vehicle tilt movement, the determining step including the sub-steps of comparing the driving dynamics data in each case with at least one threshold value and making the triggering decision as a function of the comparisons.

Abstract
A method of determining a triggering decision for restraint devices in a vehicle, a triggering decision being determined as a function of a float angle, a vehicle sliding velocity and the vehicle tilt angle. The vehicle tilt angle is characterized here by a vehicle lateral acceleration and/or a vehicle sliding velocity. A passenger detection system may be used in addition.
