Abstract
A method for reducing repetitive false alarm indications in a vehicle impact detection system for a host vehicle includes generating false alarm positional information corresponding to a detected object determined to be a false alarm. The false alarm is determined subsequent to an issued warning to a driver, and the false alarm positional information is stored in a database. The false alarm positional information in the database is further evaluated to determine, based on predefined removal criteria, whether any of the false alarm positional information in the database is to be removed therefrom. The false alarm positional information remaining in the database is used to inhibit the issuance of a warning to a driver of the host vehicle.
