An intelligent air bag system includes a controller communicating with a sensor
suite and the air bag. The controller preferably includes a fuzzy inference engine.
The sensor suite includes a plurality of sensors such as weight sensors, acceleration
sensors, seat belt activation sensors, and the like. The fuzzy inference engine
determines deployment by using a rule base including a multiple of parameters.
The decision to deploy the air bag and the strength of the air bag deployment is
determined by controller using fuzzy logic to more particularly tailor deployment
to present conditions.
