A process ( 100 ) and apparatus ( 20 ) for control of a deployment of an airbag ( 28 ) for a seat ( 30 ) in a motor vehicle ( 22 ). Upon issuance of a deployment request (R<SUB>D</SUB>) by a vehicular computer ( 24 ) intended for a deployment activator ( 26 ), a processor ( 36 ) intercepts the deployment request (R<SUB>D</SUB>). The processor ( 36 ) then receives a load mass (M), a load temperature (T), and a load height (H) from a mass sensor ( 38 ), a thermal-imaging sensor ( 52 ), and a proximity sensor ( 54 ), respectively. The processor ( 36 ) adjudicates the load mass (M), load temperature (T), and load height (H), to determine a deployment status (S<SUB>D</SUB>). A deployment status (S<SUB>D</SUB>) of pass (S<SUB>P</SUB>) is adjudicated when the load mass (M) is greater than or equal to a reference mass (M<SUB>R</SUB>), the load temperature (T) is greater than or equal to a reference temperature (T<SUB>R</SUB>), and the load height (H) is greater than or equal to a reference height (H<SUB>R</SUB>). A deployment status (S<SUB>D</SUB>) of inhibit (S<SUB>I</SUB>) is adjudicated otherwise. The processor ( 36 ) then passes or inhibits the passage of the deployment request (R<SUB>D</SUB>) accordingly.
