Abstract
A pattern recognition system is utilized in a supplementary inflatable restraint (SIR) system to distinguish between deployment and non-deployment events. The pattern recognition system preferably includes dedicated hardware or a microprocessor programmed to perform a neural network simulation utilizing crash data in the form of vehicle acceleration data. Training and trial vectors are generated from the data to train and, subsequently, test the neural network.
