Up-Front sensor
The airbag up-front sensors in the front area of the side member on the left and right sides serve to detect a head-on collision. They deliver additional information on the progress and severity of the collision to the crash safety module.
Each airbag up-front sensor consists of an acceleration sensor for recording the deceleration, a signal conditioner and an ASIC for data transmission.
The measured values are sent in the form of a data telegram to the crash safety module and are used in the calculation of the algorithm.
