Abstract

본 발명은 차량에 사용되는 에어져 시스템을 제공하는 것이다. 다중 레벨의 가스 발생 소오스가 에어백 모듀울에 인가되는 선택 가스 발생 레벨을 발생시키기 위하여 에어백 모듀울에 연결되어 있다. 전자 제어 장치는 다중 레벨의 가스 발생율의 작동을 제어한다. 주변 온도를 감지하기 위하여 전자제어 장치에 적어도 하나의 온도 센서가 연결되어 있다. 충돌 중에 감속도를 감지하기 위하여 전자 제어 장치에 가속도 센서가 연결되어 있다. 전자 제어장치는 다중 레벨의 가스 발생원을 제어하기 위하여 최적 가스 발생 레벨과 팽창 시이퀀스 시간을 결정하도록 온도 센서, 좌석 벨트 센서 및 가속도 센서로부터 감지된 입력의 조합에 반응한다.
