Two-Stage Algorithm to Minimize the Number of Sensors

Abstract

In the preceding chapters, an algorithm concept was developed which, on the basis of sensors distributed locally in the front end, enables a robust algorithm concept for the timely triggering of the restraint systems and for the classification according to load case groups. The selection of the sensors was optimized to meet all requirements that result from the use of a single-stage algorithm concept. In this chapter, another algorithm is presented which is based on the same principle of action involving local component-specific accelerations.
