1. An acceleration detection system for a vehicle comprising:
at least one inertial measurement unit comprising at least one acceleration sensor configured for measuring an acceleration of the vehicle;
a temperature sensor configured for measuring a temperature of the inertial measurement unit to obtain a measured temperature;
a cooler configured for cooling the inertial measurement unit as a function of the measured temperature; and
a controller configured to receive a signal comprising the measured temperature, wherein the controller is configured for determining a maximum operation time of the inertial measurement unit, during which the inertial measurement unit presents a measurement deviation smaller than or equal to a measurement deviation threshold, wherein the controller is configured for determining said maximum operation time in function of said signal comprising the measured temperature.
