Patent ID: 7556119

Claim:
A vehicle collision sensing system that is provided in a vehicle to sense a collision of an object to a lateral surface of the vehicle, the vehicle collision sensing system comprising: a plurality of pressure sensors that are provided to left and right doors, respectively, of the vehicle in such a manner that each pressure sensor is received in a door interior space of a corresponding one of the left and right doors to sense a pressure in the door interior space; a correcting means for computing a corrective pressure change amount that is obtained by correcting a change amount of a pressure, which is measured with a collided side one of the plurality of pressure sensors arranged in a collided one of the left and right doors that is collided with the object, based on a pressure, which is measured with a non-collided side one of the plurality of pressure sensors arranged in a non-collided one of the left and right doors that is not collided with the object; and a collision determining means for determining occurrence of the collision of the object based on the corrective pressure change amount, which is computed with the correcting means.
