    摘要: An integrated light bar for emergency vehicles and having a vehicle detection and warning sensor intermediate, preferably medial, opposing ends of the light bar, for alerting a responder at a crash site to take evasive action to a detected on-coming motor vehicle move-over failure, which light bar configured with supports for mounting to the emergency vehicle and having a processor that couples to the sensor, and an alerting device that couples to the processor. The sensor may be an imaging device, radar unit, or similar. The alerting device includes warning lights, a tactile device, and an audio unit for warning signals. The system detects an approaching vehicle, and with a longitudinal axis of a rescue vehicle determines a position angle line and spacing between the system and the approaching vehicle. Through a sequence of positions of the approaching vehicle, the processor determines the possibility of a collision based upon the change in the angle between the longitudinal axis and the position angle line and the approaching vehicle. A message device presents an instructional imperative for an averting movement of the approaching vehicle. A method of alerting a responder to a failure of an on-coming vehicle to move over and for instruction averting movement of the approaching vehicle is disclosed.

    摘要: A crash detection system with a mobile communications device configured for periodically interrogating (a) a motion signal to determine whether a change in motion (acceleration or angular rotation) exceeds a predetermined motion threshold and (b) a sound signal to determine whether a sequence of sensed sound signals within a predetermined period matches crash sound indicators of (i) glass breakage and (ii) metal folding, displaying selectable options upon detection of a crash incident, and upon a failure to select within a predetermined period, communicating an identifier and crash incident information dispatch center for dispatching a response servicer.

    摘要: A communications hub providing a repository of vehicle crash information communicated by a mobile communications device and of vehicle crash data records provided by crash event servicers, in a crash detection, response and reporting system that determines a possible crash event by periodically evaluating (a) changes in a motion signal and (b) crash sound indicators of one or more of (i) motor vehicle glass breakage, (ii) metal folding, (iii) contact thud, and (iv) tires screeching, and upon a failure to respond within a predetermined period to a notice of possible crash event, communicating an identifier and crash incident information to a dispatch center as first notice of loss for dispatching a response servicer and maintaining the repository to facilitate resolution of the claims arising from the vehicle crash event.
