Abstract: A method for detecting scratches and bumps applied to a vehicle uses an acceleration sensor. Signals of the sensor are analyzed and evaluated based on amplitude and frequency. Relationships between the amplitudes and frequencies provide a basis to classify a vehicle contact event as a bump or a scratch.

Abstract: A system and method for determining when to deploy a vehicle safety system includes a processor and inertial sensor. The inertial sensor has a filtered output and an unfiltered or lightly filtered output. The unfiltered or lightly filtered output is in communication with the processor and provides inertial information relating to the vehicle. The filtered output of the inertial sensor is in communication with a vehicle stability control system. The processor is further configured to monitor the unfiltered or lightly filtered output of the inertial sensor and determine if the inertial information indicates that the vehicle has been involved in a collision. If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, the processor is configured to deploy a vehicle safety system.

Abstract: Body velocity estimating device 10A is constituted by acceleration measurement unit 11, acceleration separation unit 12, filter processing operation unit 13, acceleration addition unit 14, integration processing operation unit 15, and estimated body velocity output unit 16. The unit 12 compares an acceleration measured by the unit 11 with set acceleration upper and lower limit reference values to separate the measured acceleration into reference value range-in and range-out accelerations. The unit 13 performs filtering on the separated reference value range-out acceleration to calculate filtered accelerations of the reference value range-out acceleration. The unit 14 adds the filtered accelerations to the previously separated range-in acceleration. The unit 15 multiplies the added acceleration by an operation period, and adds the resultant to the estimated body velocity calculated in the preceding one operation period to update the value of the estimated body velocity. The unit 16 outputs the updated estimated body velocity.

Abstract: A method and a system of controlling a restraint device in a vehicle during a crash. The method includes sensing a lateral acceleration without using other vehicle dynamic information. The method also includes integrating the sensed lateral acceleration to determine a change in (or delta of) lateral velocity, low-pass filtering the sensed lateral acceleration, and extrapolating the delta lateral velocity and the filtered acceleration to estimate a vehicle lateral velocity. The method also includes sensing a vertical acceleration, integrating the sensed vertical acceleration, combining the integrated vertical acceleration and the predicted vehicle lateral velocity to give an indication of how severely the vehicle laterally hits an obstacle, and generating a deployment signal to activate the restraint device.
