1. A system for controlling a safety system of an automotive vehicle comprising:
- a first controller generating a first control signal;
a second controller generating a second control signal;
an arbitration module coupled to the first controller and the second controller, said arbitration module choosing the higher of the first control signal and the second control signal to a final control signal; and
the safety system coupled to the arbitration module, said safety system operated corresponding to the final control signal.

Abstract
A system 18 for controlling a safety system of an automotive vehicle has a first controller 76 generating a first control signal, a second controller 78 generating a second control signal and an arbitration module 80 coupled to the first controller 76 and the second controller 78. The arbitration module 80 chooses the higher of the first control signal and the second control signal to generate a final control signal. The safety system 38 is coupled to the arbitration module. The safety system 38 is operated in response to the final control signal.
