Crash Sensors
The TRW family of crash sensors features several technologies to aid vehicle and occupant safety.
Remote Acceleration Sensor (RAS)
The RAS can be mounted on B, C or D pillars for crash-impact sensing. It can also be mounted on the front bumper for crush zone sensing applications. The sensors have an accelerometer range of 50 to 500g, and work with DSI and Meras communication protocols. The DSI sensors can be networked with up to three sensors per channel to reduce costs.
Remote Pressure Sensor
The Remote Pressure Sensor improves side-impact performance for localized impacts. When used in conjunction with acceleration-based sensors, the Remote Pressure Sensor offers airbag activation reliability. Like the Remote Acceleration Sensor, this sensor uses DSI and Meras communication principles; it also offers a wet or dry mounting option.
