A method for controlling restraint devices of a motor vehicle includes measuring a movement variable of the motor vehicle, triggering a first restraint device on the basis of a first predefined threshold value for the measured movement variable being exceeded, triggering a second restraint device on the basis of a second predefined threshold value for the measured movement variable being exceeded, and activating a first device influencing the restraining force of the first restraint device and a second device influencing the restraining force of the second restraint device on the basis of the first predefined threshold value and/or the second predefined threshold value being exceeded.

Method for controlling restraint devices of a motor vehicle

In a method for emulating an environmental sensor in a motor vehicle in a specified collision situation at a first predetermined speed of the motor vehicle, raw data are recorded in a collision situation at a second speed, which is lower than the first speed, with the environmental sensor to be emulated using the motor vehicle and/or a structurally substantially identical motor vehicle and stored. The stored raw data and/or raw data extrapolated therefrom are used downsampled for emulating the environmental sensor at the first speed.
