ABSTRACT:
In order to achieve a robust triggering decision for restraint devices in a vehicle, the difference is determined from chronologically offset measured acceleration values, and the absolute value of the difference is then integrated. The integral is compared to at least one threshold value, and if the integral then does not exceed the at least one threshold value prior to one or more definable points in time during the course of the crash, the location of a triggering threshold for the measured acceleration or for a velocity change derived therefrom is modified so that the triggering sensitivity becomes less.
