Abstract
A device is provided for use with a vehicle. The device includes a mode-determining component, a first detecting component and a second detecting component. The mode-determining component can generate an in-vehicle signal. The first detecting component can detect a first parameter and can generate a first detector signal based on the first detected parameter. The second detecting component can detect a second parameter and can generate a second detector signal based on the second detected parameter. The mode-determining component can further generate a crash mode signal based on the in-vehicle signal, the first detector signal and the second detector signal.
Claims18
A device for use with a vehicle, said device comprising:
- a mode-determining component operable to generate an in-vehicle signal;
- a first detecting component operable detect a first parameter and to generate a first detector signal based on the first detected parameter;
- and
- a second detecting component operable detect a second parameter and to generate a second detector signal based on the second detected parameter;
- and
- wherein said mode-determining component is further operable to generate a crash mode signal based on the in-vehicle signal, the first detector signal and the second detector signal.
A method for use with a vehicle, said method comprising:
- generating, via a mode-determining component, an in-vehicle signal;
- detecting, via a first detecting component, a first parameter;
- generating, via the first detecting component, a first detector signal based on the first detected parameter;
- detecting, via a second detecting component, a second parameter;
- generating, via the second detecting component, a second detector signal based on the second detected parameter;
- and
- generating, via the mode-determining component, a crash mode signal based on the in-vehicle signal, the first detector signal and the second detector signal.
A non-transitory, tangible, computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, for use with a vehicle, the computer-readable instructions being capable of being read by a computer and being capable of instructing the computer to perform the method comprising:
- generating, via a mode-determining component, an in-vehicle signal;
- detecting, via a first detecting component, a first parameter;
- generating, via the first detecting component, a first detector signal based on the first detected parameter;
- detecting, via a second detecting component, a second parameter;
- generating, via the second detecting component, a second detector signal based on the second detected parameter;
- operating an operating component in a first mode;
- generating, via the mode-determining component, a crash mode signal based on the in-vehicle signal, the first detector signal and the second detector signal;
- and
- switching operation of the operating component from the first mode to a second mode based on the crash mode signal.
