Reconfigurable methodology for event detection in a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A reconfigurable method of detecting an impending event in a motor vehicle that is equipped with sensors for measuring various parameters pertinent to said event, comprising the steps of:
- carrying out multiple different algorithms utilizing different sets of data measured by said sensors, each algorithm producing information indicative of algorithm availability and a propensity of said event;
identifying those algorithms that are indicated to be available and the event propensity information associated with such algorithms; and
detecting said event based on the identified event propensity information, the number n of identified algorithms, and a predefined event detection threshold.

Abstract
A reconfigurable rollover event detection methodology utilizes an existing body of vehicle sensor data. A number of different algorithms or look-up modules develop rollover detection outputs based on different sets of sensor data, and a meta-algorithm combines the various rollover detection outputs to form a single rollover detection output. The number of individual rollover detection outputs is configurable depending on the extent of the available sensor data in a given vehicle and changes in sensor availability that occur due to sensor and communication failures.
