Processor, sensor device, control system, and processing method

A sensor device (130) comprising:

• a sensor (131) that is mounted to a vehicle (1);
• and
• an electronic processor (132) that processes a sensor signal output from the sensor (131), wherein
• the electronic processor (132) is configured to:
• acquire the sensor signal output from the sensor (131);
• generate a first output signal through a first filter (F11, F12, F13, F14, F15, F16) for extracting a first frequency band from the sensor signal;
• generate a second output signal through a second filter (F21, F22, F23, F24, F25, F26) for extracting a second frequency band, which differs from the first frequency band, from the sensor signal;
• and
• output the first output signal and the second output signal at once to a first controller (110) and a second controller (120) respectively,
• wherein the first controller (110) is configured to control a first vehicle system based on the first output signal and the second controller (120) is configured to control a second vehicle system based on the second output signal.

A control system (100) comprising:

• a sensor device (130) including a sensor (131) that is mounted to a vehicle and an electronic processor (132) that processes a sensor signal output from the sensor (131);
