Disclosed herein is an external airbag deployment method and system. In the method, a detection area located in front of a vehicle is set. A target object is selected from a plurality of objects detected in the detection area by comparing a relative velocity, an overlap, and a TTE, which is a remaining time until each object collides with an airbag cushion when an external airbag is predicted to be deployed. The method further includes determining whether the vehicle is stable by comparing a predicted yaw rate of the vehicle with a measured yaw rate and determining whether a relative velocity and an overlap, predicted at a time when the target object is predicted to collide with the vehicle, are greater than predetermined levels. The external airbag is deployed when the vehicle is stable, and the predicted relative velocity and overlap are greater than the predetermined levels. |
