A pre-crash assessment system ( 1 ) includes a host vehicle ( 3 ) in motion and a high frequency sensor ( 4 ), which detects position and relative velocity of a target object in the near zone of the host vehicle ( 3 ). A safety device actuator ( 5 ) is also coupled to the host vehicle ( 3 ). A pre-crash algorithm provides a comparison of a future position prediction of the target object relative to the host vehicle ( 3 ). A safety device controller ( 9 ) is coupled to the host vehicle ( 3 ). The controller ( 9 ) generates a threshold assessment based on the target object future relative position and relative velocity. The controller ( 9 ) also controls the safety device actuator ( 5 ) by providing an actuation signal. The controller ( 9 ) operates through logic designed to estimate whether a potential for crash between the host vehicle ( 3 ) and the target object is within the threshold for the safety device actuator ( 5 ). The controller ( 9 ) activates the safety device actuator 5 when the potential for crash is within the pre-determined threshold and safety device specific deployment criteria are met.
