Output of Crash Telegram

In the event of a collision involving triggering of the restraint systems, the Crash Safety Module sends a crash telegram to the users in the bus-system network. Parallel to this, the TCU is informed via a direct single-wire line to transmit an emergency call.

As a result, the respective control units perform the following functions depending on the crash severity:
