Abstract
An acceleration sensor for a vehicle includes a micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) high-G sensing element and low-G sensing element provided in a single MEMS housing in one embodiment. In another embodiment, the high-G sensor and the low-G sensor are integrated as a single MEMS low/high-G sensing element and in another embodiment, the high-G and low-G sensing elements are provided in separate MEMS housings disposed in the same acceleration sensor housing. An application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) processes signals from the high-G/low-G sensing element(s). A collision determination system for an autonomous vehicle processes the high-G/low-G signals to actuate airbags and/or to provide collision information to a remote system.
