Airbag Sensors and Controllers (E-SRS)

Airbag Sensors and Controllers (E-SRS): accurately detects a collision that would merit deploying the airbag. Safety Goal: To accurately define the conditions of a collision, to identify those conditions in a vehicle, and to determine the need for airbag deployment (including rate of speed and strength). Benefits: Prevents the premature deployment of airbags Makes airbag deployment more reliable Reduces the cost of vehicle repairs when an airbag is deployed prematurely How it works: Our Airbag Control ECU uses a proven and reliable algorithm. It accurately determines the difference between a bump in the road and an actual crash. This information determines if an airbag should deploy and its proper deployment strength, using data such as: Vehicle speed Rate of vehicle deceleration Occupant seatbelt use Occupant size and seating location Severity of impact
