A collision deformation sensor for use within the crush zone of a vehicle consists of first and second spaced apart substrates for mounting to respective vehicle components, with a compressible carrier medium filling the space between the substrates. The carrier medium includes wave energy scattering centers dispersed within the medium to create a scattered energy volume, or alternatively a cavity, the inside surface of which is coated with a wave energy dispersion coating. A source and receiver of light or other wave energy communicates with the interior space. Single coupling and single processors are associated with the wave energy transmitters and receivers. The device operates on the principle whereby compression of the space between the substrates increases the intensity of a light or other wave energy, and this increase is detected by the receiver and signal processor, which in turn activates an air bag, or seat belt tightener or the like.
