METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AIRBAG ACTIVATION DEVICE AND AIRBAG ACTIVATION DEVICE

The disclosure relates to a method (122) for controlling an airbag activation device (108) in a vehicle (100), the method (122) comprising: detecting, by at rear collision sensing unit (110), a rear collision; transmitting, from the rear collision sensing unit (110), a signal (s1) indicating the rear collision, to a control unit (114), detecting, by a front collision sensing unit (112), a front collision; transmitting, from the front collision sensing unit (112), a signal (s2) indicating the front collision, to the control unit (114); adapting, by the control unit (114), based on the signals (s1, s2) received from rear collision sensing unit (110) and the front collision sensing unit (112), a threshold for activating an airbag deployment according to at least one activation parameter, and/or activating, by the control unit (114), a delay timer being configured to activate an airbag deployment after a predetermined amount of time after the rear collision. The disclosure also relates to an airbag activation device (108) for a vehicle (100).
