ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for automatic vehicle event detection, characterization and reporting. A processor processes accelerometer data from a vehicle over varying length windows of time to detect and characterize vehicle events such as crashes. The processed data is compared to thresholds to detect and characterize events. Such events are then reported to a dispatch center using wireless communications and providing vehicle location information. The dispatch center contacts the public safety answering point(s) necessary to provide services to the vehicle.
