Vehicle crash determination system using telematics and sensors
The patent US11997439B2 describes a sophisticated system and method for crash determination utilizing a vehicle telematics device and a remote server. The telematics device, equipped with an accelerometer, processes sensor data to perform a first stage analysis that calculates peak resultant acceleration over a specified time period. This data is used to generate a crash score, which indicates the likelihood of a crash based on the vehicle's class and the sensor data. If the crash score exceeds a predetermined threshold, the device transmits the sensor and vehicle identification data to a remote server. The server then conducts a second stage analysis to calculate resultant change in velocity and determines if a crash has occurred based on this data.
The system includes specific calculations for both peak resultant acceleration and resultant change in velocity, taking into account both forward and lateral vectors. Additionally, the telematics device can dynamically determine crash curve data based on the vehicle's class, which may include factors such as height, length, or wheelbase. The method also outlines the sequence of data transmission and analysis, ensuring that the vehicle identification data is sent prior to generating the crash score. This innovative approach aims to enhance the accuracy and reliability of crash detection, potentially improving response times and safety measures in the event of a vehicle collision.
