Abstract

An orientationally flexible bump sensor is disclosed. The system includes at least one bump sensor mounted to a vehicle, the at least one bump sensor comprising at least two axes of measurement. A computer processor is configured to evaluate the at least two axes of measurement to determine which axis of the at least two axes of measurement has a highest magnitude vector and determine a gain value to cause the highest magnitude vector to be approximately 1 g. The computer processor will assign the gain value to the axis with the highest magnitude vector, such that the gain value is applied to each measurement generated by the axis with the highest magnitude vector.
