Abstract
An impact with an underside of a battery enclosure of a vehicle is classified based at least on processing impact sensor outputs to generate battery impact classification data. The impact sensor outputs are received from an impact sensor arrangement associated with the underside of the battery enclosure, the impact sensor arrangement being configured to generate the impact sensor outputs in response to a deformation of the underside of the battery enclosure. The vehicle is caused to perform an action in response to the battery impact classification data.
