Unlike the front of the vehicle, the side has a limited crumple zone. To ensure enough time for the activation of the restraint system following an impact, the airbag control unit must decide in less than five milliseconds whether a deployment is required based on the type and severity of the crash. The peripheral pressure sensor (PPS) from Bosch provides a cost-effective and high-quality solution for this purpose.
