ABSTRACT:
A side impact detection system for detecting information about a side impact of a vehicle. The side impact detection system comprises a elongated member, a detection sensor, a deriving unit, and a determination unit. The elongated member is capable of being deflected toward the inside of the vehicle according to the deformation of the door outer panel in the event of a side impact. The detection sensor detects information about the displacement of a setting area that is previously set on the elongated member during the deflection of the elongated member toward the inside of the vehicle. The deriving unit derives the displacement and the displacement speed of the setting area relative to a vehicle body side member based on the information detected by the detection sensor. The determination unit determines the mode of the side impact on the vehicle based on the information derived by the deriving unit.
