Abstract
Like in a conventional crash detection algorithm, a crash is detected if a threshold value of an acceleration or an integrated acceleration is exceeded. Various characteristic values for characterizing the sensor signal paths are collected and supplied to the neural network. Said neural network returns the characteristic values for the seriousness of the crash, thereby facilitating the various retention systems to reaction individually. The invention provides a method for reliably, simply and quickly making statements regarding the seriousness and the course of a motor vehicle crash and for controlling occupant protection systems according to demand.
