Airbag Control Units (ACU)

Here you can find all relevant information and products regarding Airbag Control Units (ACU). Learn more about our passive and integrated safety ACU portfolio, pedestrian and occupant protection.

Airbags have been a standard element of vehicle safety equipment for many years. For the most part, the basic safety functions are technically mature. However, there are many ways in which they can be extended to cover other applications and functions as part of an overall safety concept. In this extended active role, electronic safety systems can help not only to limit the potential damage in an accident; they can also serve to prevent accidents by integrating diverse information from environment sensors and the vehicle itself.

  

AUMOVIO’s modular SAFE platform concept  allows an economical and efficient development and offers a high level of flexibility and integration options. The results are currently visible in three product lines.

  • Rapid recognition of every required pedestrian impact situation
  • Excellent robustness
  • Redundant system for maximum safety
  • Robustness improvement by usage of data fusion of forward looking

Occupant Protection

Occupants are being protected by restraint systems like seatbelts and airbags in case of various crash situations.

  • Airbag and belt pretensioner activation
  • Active headrest control
  • Adaptation of smart airbags towards crash situation and severity
  • Battery and fuel cut-off for vehicle safety

The Occupant Safety Monitor (OcSM) offers - individually for each occupant and at any time - the optimal deployment strategies for current and future restraint systems. In interaction with the software feature PreCrash Safety Monitor advanced solutions for the integrated safety are provided.

The PreCrash Safety Monitor (PcSM) uses information from environmental sensors such as radar and camera systems for crash prediction. By this, passive safety systems become predictive. This enables occupant protection measures to be initiated before the time of the crash t₀. In interaction with the software feature Occupant Safety Monitor, advanced solutions for the integrated safety are provided.
