A control device for a passenger retaining and/or protective system for vehicleswith a sensor which generates an analog output signal corresponding to the acceleration or deceleration acting on its point of installation in the vehicle, an evaluation circuit assessing the sensor output signal and a triggering circuit which triggers the system when the threshold is exceeded. The time cycle of the sensoroutput signal is subjected to several different evaluations (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in that said sensor output signal is taken to an evaluation circuit operating in a complex manner or to several such circuits operating differently, which assess the cycle according to differing criteria and thus with several differently defined thresholds. At least one of these evaluation circuits (2) is so constructed and operated that it can differentiate: between at least two different kinds of accident (frontal and oblique) with differently defined thresholds depending on the seriousness of the accident. At least one of the evaluation circuits (3, 4) is constructed and operated in such a way that it establishes the seriousness of the type of accident allocated to it from the events and the threshold allocated to it. The outputs of the evaluation circuits are connected to the inputs of an interlink component (23, 24, 234, 1234) which transmits the result to the triggering circuit. The interlink function is selected so that the system is triggered only if the evaluations indicate both a defined type of accident and the exceeding of the threshold(s) specifically allocated to the type of accident concerned.
