Controller for vehicular safety device

A control device to selectively actuate at least one vehicular safety device, comprising:

• a first sensing element operative to sense a pitch angle and pitch angle acceleration of a vehicle along a first axis and to generate a corresponding pitch angle signal and pitch angle acceleration signal;
• a second sensing element operative to sense a roll angle and roll angle acceleration of a vehicle along a second axis, and to generate a corresponding roll angle signal and roll angle acceleration signal;
• a third sensing element operative to sense acceleration of a vehicle and to generate an acceleration signal;
• and
• a controller including a first control signal generator operative to generate a first control signal in response to either said pitch angle signal and said pitch angle acceleration signal each exceeding a first value, or said roll angle signal and said roll angle acceleration signal each exceeding a second value, a second control signal generator operative to generate a second control signal in response to said acceleration signal exceeding a third value;
• and
• an actuator operative to actuate at least one vehicular safety device in response to said first control signal and to actuate another of said at least one vehicular safety device in response to said second control signal.
