ABSTRACT:
A collision sensing apparatus for detecting a side collision of a vehicle includes an acceleration sensor disposed on a frame member of the vehicle. The sensor is capable of detecting an acceleration occurring due to a side collision against a center pillar from an outer direction of the vehicle. The sensor is also capable of detecting an acceleration occurring as a result of a transmission of a displacement load based on a deformation of a door and oriented toward an interior of a vehicle compartment that occurs due to a side collision against the door from an outer direction of the vehicle.
