Patent 7347464 was granted and assigned to Denso on March, 2008 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A collision detection system for a vehicle has two collision load sensors, which are respectively positioned between a rear end surface of a bumper reinforce member and front end surfaces of two side members of the vehicle. Thus, a collision load at any position in a vehicle-width direction of a bumper of the vehicle can be appropriately detected.
