1. A method of deploying a side impact airbag, comprising:
- selectively determining a delay time based on an impact type, where the delay time associated with an impact on a first side is different than the delay time associated with an impact on a second side; and
selectively generating a control signal to at least one of deploy and not deploy the side impact airbag based on the delay time.

Abstract
A method of deploying a side impact airbag is provided. The method includes selectively determining a delay time based on an impact type, where the delay time associated with an impact on a first side is different than the delay time associated with an impact on a second side; and selectively generating a control signal to at least one of deploy and not deploy the side impact airbag based on the delay time.

10. An airbag deployment system, comprising:
-
at least one airbag that is disposed between a first occupant seating position of a first side and a second occupant seating position of a second side; and an actuation unit that deploys the at least one airbag after a delay time occurs, wherein at least one of the delay time and the deployment is selectively determined based on an impact type, where the delay time associated with an impact on the first side is different than the delay time associated with an impact on the second side. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

at least one airbag that is disposed between a first occupant seating position of a first side and a second occupant seating position of a second side; a control module that selectively determines at least one of a decision to deploy and a delay time based on an impact type, where the delay time associated with an impact on the first side is different than the delay time associated with an impact on the second side; and an actuation unit that deploys the at least one airbag after the delay time occurs. - View Dependent Claims (20)
