Abstract
A crash detection system includes first and second sensors and a processor. The processor receives first sensor data output by the first sensor, determines whether the first sensor data indicates a first class or a second class, outputs an enable signal to the second sensor if the first sensor data indicates the second class, receives second sensor data output by the second sensor after the enable signal is output, determines whether the second sensor data indicates a high acceleration value, determines whether the first sensor data indicates the first class within a predetermined amount of time after the second sensor data is determined to indicate the high acceleration value, and outputs a signal indicating a crash has occurred in response to determining that the first sensor data indicates the first class within the predetermined amount of time after the second sensor data is determined to indicate the high acceleration value.
