Results of an investigation of post-contact crash sensing techniques are reported. The study included a survey of crash sensor technology, and experimental testing of crash sensing devices. Testing included full-scale crash tests of unmodified vehicles instrumented with crash sensors and accelerometers. Laboratory bench testing of crash sensors was conducted employing a centrifuge device to determine static bias levels and a Linear Accelerator apparatus to provide dynamic performance information. In addition an induction coil crash sensing device which actuates a squib power circuit when the relative velocity between the vehicle and its front bumper exceeds a pre-selected threshold was developed.
