  • Method and control unit for ascertaining a type of collision of a vehicle
    Patent number: 9266488
    Abstract: A method for ascertaining a type of collision of a vehicle includes: receiving acceleration information items, via a reception interface, representing the accelerations of the vehicle in a vehicle longitudinal direction and a vehicle transverse direction; determining a first resultant acceleration information item from a first and a second acceleration information item; determining a second resultant acceleration information item from a third and a fourth acceleration information item; combining the first and second resultant acceleration information items to obtain at least one evaluation information item; and determining the collision type based on the at least one evaluation information item.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 6, 2010
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2016
    Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBH
    Inventors: Gunther Lang, Arunkumar Montaganahalli Srinivasa-Murthy, Jochen Wieland, Jens Melchert, Philip Mayer
  • Control device and method for triggering passenger protection devices
    Patent number: 8648704
    Abstract: A method and a control device for triggering passenger protection devices are provided, the passenger protection devices being triggered as a function of a first acceleration signal and/or a driving dynamics signal. The acceleration signal is corrected by an offset by a comparison with the driving dynamics signal.
