Abstract
A method and system for classifying vehicle conditions. Lateral acceleration information, vertical acceleration information, and roll angle information is acquired and the roll angle information is used for compensating the acceleration information for the effects of gravity. The compensated acceleration information is compared with one or more thresholds to change calibrateable counter values and additional threshold comparisons are used to determine the vehicle condition or rollover type.
