Abstract
A method for controlling a safety device of a vehicle. The safety device reacts to an imminent collision by an intervention in a longitudinal and/or lateral guidance of the vehicle. The method includes reading in environment data and trip data regarding the collision object in an environment of the vehicle and the vehicle, and seat occupancy data regarding an occupancy state of at least one seat of the vehicle; ascertaining: an expected impingement side of the collision object on the vehicle; a velocity change of the vehicle in the context of the collision; and a seat occupancy distribution in the vehicle, using the seat occupancy data; executing an evaluation of the velocity change with regard to a threshold value and/or of the seat occupancy distribution relative to the expected impingement side; generating, depending on a result of the evaluation, a control signal for the safety device.
