CONTROL DEVICE FOR OCCUPANT PROTECTION DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device for an occupant protection device capable of enhancing the accuracy of the collision determination when determining the operational determination of the occupant protection device by the impact values of a plurality of impact detection means, and preventing operation delay or non-ignition of the occupant protection device. SOLUTION: The control device 10 to perform the operation control of an occupant protection device when an impact detection means provided on a side surface of a vehicle and an impact detection means provided on the other side surface of the vehicle detect an impact in the same direction comprises; a correction determination means 13b to determine whether or not a first operation value of the impact detection means provided on a side surface of the vehicle exceeds the first reference value and the second operation value of the impact detection means provided on the other side surface of the vehicle is a value to indicate an impact in the direction opposite to the direction of the impact indicated by the first operation value; and an operation value correction means 13c to correct the second operation value when it is determined by the correction determination means 13b that the first operation value exceeds the first reference value and the second operation value is a value to indicate an impact in the direction opposite to the direction of the impact indicated by the first operation value.
