Abstract
A deployment method for a supplemental restraint system having multiple distributed acceleration sensors dynamically classifies each crash event based on relationships among the acceleration signals. A severity threshold is selected based on the instant crash classification, and a measure of crash severity is compared to the selected severity threshold to determine if the restraints should be deployed. The measure of crash severity is determined by computing individual measures of crash severity for the various frontal acceleration sensors and selecting the highest of the individual measures.
