Abstract
Occupant displacement corresponding to sensed acceleration in a crash event is determined and used to enable and disable deployment of supplemental restraints based on crash severity. The determined occupant displacement is compared to a first threshold calibrated to discriminate against disturbances due to rough roads and other non-crash events, and a second threshold calibrated to discriminate against non-deployment crash events. Deployment of supplemental restraints based on crash severity is enabled only when the determined displacement is between the first and second thresholds.
