1. A vehicle impact detection system, comprising:

  • an acceleration sensor;

    a storage device storing an impact detection application; and

    a processor;

    wherein the impact detection application directs the processor to;

    receive acceleration information using the acceleration sensor;

    filter the acceleration information to attenuate noise;

    determine an occurrence of an impact by detecting an acceleration from the acceleration information that exceeds a threshold for a time period;

    detect an angle of the impact with respect to a forward direction using the acceleration information; and

    trigger an impact detector signal.
