Claim 9:
10. A method for detecting low-impact collisions for a vehicle, the method comprising
receiving, with an electronic controller, sensor data from at least one sensor,
performing, with the electronic controller, a plausibility step on the sensor data received from the at least one sensor to filter out unwanted data that could be misinterpreted as a low-impact collision to create filtered sensor data
determining, with the electronic controller, one or more features of the filtered sensor data,
determining, with the electronic controller, if a collision has occurred based upon the one or more features of the filtered sensor data, and
taking, with the electronic controller, at least one action in response to determining that the collision has occurred.
