Abstract
An occupant protection system for a motor vehicle includes at least one crash sensor for measuring a motion variable. The occupant protection system includes an occupant protection device, controlled by an ignition signal, and a control device for determining the ignition signal subject to an average time value of the motion variable measured by the crash sensor during at least one first time interval.

An occupant protection system for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- at least one crash sensor adapted to measure a motion variable of the motor vehicle;
- an occupant protection device controllable via an ignition signal;
- and
- a control unit adapted to ascertain the ignition signal as a function of a time average of the motion variable measured by the crash sensor over at least one first time interval.
