A method for controlling an airbag aboard a motor vehicle includes measuring a respective position of landmark points on an occupant of the motor vehicle using a sensor suite. The method includes receiving occupant landmark signals from the sensor suite, with the signals being indicative of the respective positions of the landmark points. A trajectory of the occupant is predicted, via the controller, using the occupant landmark signals. A controller adjusts a restraint capacity setting of the airbag in response to the predicted occupant trajectory. A motor vehicle includes a vehicle body, an airbag, a sensor suite, and a controller operable for controlling a restraint capacity setting of the airbag using the method. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium includes an instruction set that is executed to perform the method.
