Algorithm Concepts for Rollover Detection to Activate Advanced Restraint Systems

This paper describes the physical behavior of rollover situations from a sensor and an algorithm point of view. Algorithm solutions will be described with an emphasis on the rollover / no-rollover discrimination as well as the misuse scenarios. Integration of the Siemens advanced rollover sensing functionality as part of future airbag electronics will be discussed. The Siemens rollover algorithm technology and the performance will be demonstrated on some examples.
