ABSTRACT:
A method and system for improving reliability of a vehicle crash discrimination system by minimalizing the effect of resonance inherently produced by structural elements of the vehicle includes using at least two accelerometers (18,20) mounted to different structural elements (22, 24) of the vehicle. The accelerometers are preferably mounted in close proximity to each other to produce similar acceleration data, but corrupted by dissimilar structural resonance. Signal analysis processing (36) is performed to extrapolate the common acceleration data to generate an output (38) substantially uncorrupted by structural resonance for use in the vehicle crash discrimination system. Detection of operability of the accelerometers (34) can also be performed to provide for switching to a backup mode filtering process (44) to insure operability of the discrimination system upon failure of one of the accelerometers.
