ABSTRACT:
An integrated occupant protection system (10) for a vehicle comprises a vehicle seat (12), which may be mounted in the vehicle. The seat (12) has a lower seat portion (14) and a seat back portion (16). An electrical communications bus (26) is mounted to the vehicle seat (12). A crash sensor (44) also is mounted to the vehicle seat (12) and electrically coupled to the communications bus (26). The crash sensor (44) senses a crash event and provides a signal indicative thereof to the communications bus (26). An actuatable occupant protection device (46, 48, 50 or 64) is mounted to the vehicle seat (12) and electrically coupled to the communications bus (26). When the protection device (46, 48, 50 or 64) is actuated, it helps to protect a vehicle occupant. The occupant protection device (46, 48, 50 or 64) is controlled over the communications bus (26) by a controller (47, 34).
