The coordinate system used for the sensor location measurements and transducer polarity was as follows:
- X-axis
Front to rear of vehicle, longitudinal centerline.
Positive direction toward the front end.
- Y-axis
Laterally door to door.
Positive direction toward driver door.
- Z-axis
Floor to roof.
Positive upwards out of roof.
