1. A system for simulating vehicle crashes to test the reliability of a vehicle crash sensor comprising:

  • means for generating a plurality of model crash waveforms by generating a plurality of statistical variations on an actual crash waveform;

    means for physically applying said plurality of model crash waveforms to said vehicle crash sensor, said sensor providing an output responsive to each applied model crash waveform; and

    means for analyzing said sensor output relative to each respective one of said plurality of applied model crash waveforms, said analyzing means providing an output indicative of the operational reliability of said crash sensor.
