First Claim
Patent Images
1. In a motor vehicle, a preventive protection system comprising:
- a safety sensor system configured to detect information about the motor vehicle;
safety devices which are actuated as a function of information obtained from the safety sensor system; and
a data evaluation and control device configured to compare the information with a triggering threshold value and actuate a safety device associated with a driving state when a criticality of the driving state is identified,wherein triggering of the associated safety device is actuated based on a force/time gradient of the identified criticality of the driving state;
wherein a maximum force of the associated safety device is parameterized as a function of the identified criticality of the driving state;
wherein said maximum force is built up over a time period which can be parameterized; and
wherein a longitudinal-dynamics criticality of the driving state is assigned a larger force/time gradient than a lateral-dynamics criticality.

Abstract
A motor vehicle including a preventive protective system which includes safety devices actuated as a function of information obtained from a vehicle state sensor system and evaluated in a data evaluation and control device. In the associated process, the data evaluation and control device compares the recorded information with at least one triggering threshold value and actuates at least one safety device which is associated with this driving state when a criticality of the driving state is identified. Triggering of the associated safety device is actuated with respect to a force time gradient as a function of the identified criticality of the driving state.

18. A method for protecting occupants of a motor vehicle including a preventive-action protection system, comprising:
-
detecting information with a safety sensor system; comparing the detected information with a triggering threshold value to determine a driving state of the motor vehicle; and actuating a safety device associated with the driving state, if a criticality of the driving state is identified; wherein triggering of the associated safety device is actuated, based on a force/time gradient of the identified criticality of the driving state; wherein a maximum force of the associated safety device is parameterized as a function of the identified criticality of the driving state; wherein said maximum force is built up over a time period which can be parameterized; and wherein a longitudinal-dynamics criticality of the driving state is assigned a larger force/time gradient than a lateral-dynamics criticality.
