Abstract:

Considerable effort has been expended in recent years to develop anticipatory crash sensors-effective means of detecting motor vehicle collisions immediately prior to occurrence. If the potential crash is sensed early enough, evasive action may be initiated to avoid the accident. If technical or dynamic considerations limit the warning time to a very short interval, benefits can still be obtained through initiation of passive restraint development significantly earlier than would otherwise be the case, extending the effectiveness of such systems to higher impact speeds than are now tolerable.
