Arrangement of devices for the protection of vehicle occupants

Abstract

Abstract Arrangement of devices for the protection of the occupants of a vehicle (F), the occupants of which are to be protected in the event of a crash by a plurality of protection devices which can be activated by means of an electrically triggered explosive charge, - having at least one crash sensor (S), - having an evaluation unit (A) which receives the sensor signals and evaluates them with respect to the type of crash and/or severity of the crash, - having an evaluation device (A) which contains the evaluation unit (A), the crash sensor (S)/the crash sensors (S) being attached near to or in the evaluation device (A), - having at least two trigger units (B, G, with E) which are separated from one another and distributed over the vehicle (F), which (B, G, with E) are contained in trigger devices (B, G, with E) distributed spatially over the vehicle (F) and which (B, G, with E) each contain, in order to store, as a precaution, the energy required for triggering the explosive charge assigned to them (B, G), one or more separate triggering capacitors (E) which (E) themselves, when required, trigger the protection devices at the instigation of the evaluation unit (A) and, - having a line (D) between the evaluation device (A) and the trigger devices (B, G) which is formed by a data line (D) which (D) has time slots for the serial transmission of output signals from the evaluation unit (A) as digital data.
