Abstract:
1. A decision enhancement system configured to influence a deployment determination of a safety restraint application for a vehicle by communicating an at-risk-zone determination to the safety restraint application, said decision enhancement system comprising: a sensor subsystem, said sensor subsystem providing for a sensor to capture a plurality of sensor readings, said plurality of sensor readings including a first sensor reading and a second sensor reading; a tracking subsystem, wherein said tracking subsystem provides for selectively identifying a tracked condition from a plurality of pre-defined conditions, said plurality of pre-defined conditions including a crash condition, wherein said tracked condition is selectively identified using said first sensor reading; and a detection subsystem, wherein said detection subsystem is invoked only after said tracking subsystem selectively identifies said crash condition as said tracked condition, wherein said detection subsystem generates said at-risk-zone determination, from said second sensor reading, and wherein said second sensor reading is not captured earlier than said first sensor reading.
