Abstract: In an external airbag deployment method, a detection area located in front of a vehicle is set. A target object is selected from among objects detected in the detection area by comparing relative velocities, overlaps, and Time To External Airbag (TTE) values of the detected objects. It is determined whether the vehicle is stable or unstable by comparing a predicted yaw rate of the vehicle with a measured yaw rate. It is determined whether a relative velocity and an overlap of the target object, predicted at a time when the target object is assumed to collide with the vehicle, are greater than predetermined levels. The external airbag is deployed if it is determined that the vehicle is stable and the predicted relative velocity and overlap of the target object are greater than predetermined levels.
