Abstract
A deployment decision for a vehicle restraint system is reached as a function of vehicle dynamics data, at least one vehicle transverse acceleration and one yaw rate about the longitudinal axis of the vehicle being linked to one another as the vehicle dynamics data to reach the deployment decision. The vehicle transverse acceleration is then additionally subjected to a threshold value decision for reaching the deployment decision, the threshold value being set as a function of the integrated vehicle transverse acceleration and the integrated yaw rate.

A method for making a deployment decision for a restraint system in a vehicle, comprising:
- detecting a vehicle transverse acceleration and a yaw rate about the longitudinal axis of the vehicle;
- linking the vehicle transverse acceleration and the yaw rate about the longitudinal axis of the vehicle as vehicle dynamics data;
- comparing the vehicle transverse acceleration to a first threshold value, wherein the first threshold value is set as a function of an integrated vehicle transverse acceleration and an integrated yaw rate about the longitudinal axis of the vehicle;
- and
- making the deployment decision based at least on the vehicle dynamics data and the comparison of the vehicle transverse acceleration to the first threshold value.
