Abstract
An air bag system () includes a controller (), a remote satellite sensor (), and a deployable air bag (). Controller logic for deployment discrimination of an impact event sensitizes an airbag deployment command in response to signals from the satellite sensor. The logic determines a crash-pulse energy term (CPE) which discriminates impact signals which are particularly useful for identifying side impact events.
