Abstract
A method for continuous collision severity prediction, the method comprising receiving vehicle acceleration data. A collision event is detected in response to receiving the vehicle acceleration data and to the acceleration data. A collision mode is determined in response to detecting the collision event. Input to the collision mode determination includes the acceleration data. A collision severity value responsive to the acceleration data and the collision mode is calculated. The collision severity value corresponds to a percentage inflation level of an airbag.
