Abstract
A method for detecting impact and activating occupant protection devices, in which at least one acceleration signal from at least one acceleration sensor is compared with a triggering threshold. In this case, at least one environmental sensor for detecting an imminent impact and for determining at least one parameter of this imminent impact, in particular an expected time of impact and severity of impact, is provided. The triggering behavior is adapted on the basis of the parameters of the environmental sensor.
