ABSTRACT:
In a system and method for controlling actuation of a vehicle passenger safety device, wherein a first time-varying measure m.sub.1 (t), itself a function of received vehicle acceleration information, is accumulated to obtain a second time-varying measure m.sub.2 (t) for subsequent comparison with a threshold value therefor, the first measure m.sub.1 (t) is "damped" prior to accumulation by subtracting therefrom a correction value or "damping factor f.sub.d." The damping factor f.sub.d may be either a constant or a time-varying function f.sub.d (t) of one or more other time-varying measures, themselves based on received vehicle acceleration information.
