I have worked with analyzation of accelerometer signals and also made simulations and analysis of the signals. As I imagine the issue will be to avoid offset and/or low resolution in the acceleration signal, because when integrating these errors will accumulate into an erroneous velocity which is then integrated into an even more erroneous position. If you insist on using aceleration, your system should be able to calibrate itself frequently.
