Abstract
A process is provided for controlling occupant safety devices corresponding to specific requirements while taking into account the occupant's expected movement relative to the vehicle. The expected movement of the vehicle occupant is determined on the basis of the expected acceleration profile of the vehicle during the accident and on the basis of the actual parameters of the individual vehicle occupant. The expected acceleration profile of the vehicle is extrapolated on the basis of the acceleration profile which took place up to the respective point in time.
