An emergency door release device for a vehicle may include a first sensor to detect a collision and provide a collision indication. A door sensor may detect if a door remains closed after the collision and provide a door indication. A receiver may receive a secondary detonation trigger indication from another device. A processor may analyze the indications to determine if they meet time constraints. A detonator may cause detonation of an explosive to separate the door from the vehicle body if the constraints are met. The device may include additional sensors to detect unsafe conditions. A method and system for releasing a vehicle door using similar components and steps may also be provided.
