Abstract
An arrangement in the passenger compartment of a vehicle independent of a SIR system responds to the impulse noise of an inflating air bag as well as to vehicle acceleration to determine that the air bag has inflated, and then activates a communication device to transmit an emergency signal. A noise sensing transducer is either a pressure sensor or a microphone, and an accelerometer detects minimal conditions for a crash. A microprocessor evaluates the output signal and the acceleration to decide whether to signal the communication device.
