Abstract
A control device for controlling a passenger protection device for a vehicle includes an input unit configured to receive a first acceleration signal in a first axial direction and a second acceleration signal in a second axial direction which are generated by an acceleration sensor disposed in a side door of a vehicle, a determination unit configured to determine whether a collision has occurred in the side door of the vehicle using at least one of the first acceleration signal and the second acceleration signal, and a control unit configured to control a passenger protection device disposed adjacent to the side door of the vehicle based on a result of determining whether the collision has occurred.
