ABSTRACT:
A deployment control method for distributed architecture SIR system provides improved fault tolerance and ensures that signals generated by various remote sensor modules are properly considered in determining whether to deploy restraint devices. The deployment control method establishes a succession of states, wherein entry into each state is conditioned upon the achievement of predetermined criteria, and deployment of a respective restraint device is conditioned upon the successive achievement of each state. The states include an inhibit state, an enabled state, an armed state and a deployment initiated state. The predetermined criteria include correct occupant position, collision verification or safing, and collision severity. Deployment can only be initiated when the initiator module has been advised that all three criteria have been met within a given time constraint.
