ABSTRACT:
A crash sensor, designed for arrangement in the crush zone of a motor vehicle, is operative to determine when and if a crash is severe enough to deploy the passive restraint system (e.g. airbag or seat belt tensioner) of the vehicle. The sensor is responsive to trigger the passive restraint system when the vehicle impact with a barrier causes vehicle elements in the crush zone to deform as far back as the sensor position.
