First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for triggering a passenger protection arrangement for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a hardware circuit, at least one sensor signal from an accident sensor system;
determining, by the hardware circuit, a flatness of a first characteristic derived from the at least one sensor signal in relation to at least one second characteristic;
determining, by the hardware circuit, a crash type as a function of the flatness; and
triggering, by the hardware circuit, the passenger protection arrangement as a function of the crash type.

Abstract
A method and a control device for triggering a passenger protection arrangement for a vehicle are provided, at least one sensor signal from an accident sensor system being provided. A characteristic is derived from this at least one sensor signal, and a flatness is determined from this first characteristic in relation to at least one second characteristic. The crash type is then determined as a function of this flatness. The triggering the passenger protection arrangement (PS) takes place as a function of this crash type.
