Abstract

A cloud-based application platform for searching and retrieving evidence records related to vehicle events is provided. A method and system for collecting, matching and reporting evidence relating to a collision event captured on a first collision detection device associated with a vehicle transportation system. A first event report of the collision event is communicated from the first collision detection device to the cloud-based application. The first event report includes image data, location data, and time data of the collision event. A collision event database of the cloud-based application is searched to locate a second incident report of the collision event. When the collision event of the first incident report matches the recorded collision event of the second incident report, the first incident report is compiled with the second incident report. A collision evidence report is generated based on the compiled first and second incident reports.

Description

Cloud-based application platform for searching and retrieving evidence records related to vehicle events Technical Field The technical field relates generally to collecting evidence of a vehicle event, and more particularly to systems and methods for collecting, matching, and reporting evidence related to a vehicle collision event captured on a first collision detection device associated with a vehicle transportation system. Background In recent years, advances in vehicle safety technology have been increasingly focused on improving the ability of vehicles to prevent and mitigate collisions. One important area of development is vehicle communication protocols, which allow vehicles to exchange critical information in real time. These systems are designed to enhance situational awareness, enabling vehicles to react to potential hazards before they become an impending threat. A major use case of these communication protocols is the transmission of vehicle data to cloud-based applications hosted on remote servers. In the case of a light crash event, drivers of vehicles involved in a multiple vehicle crash event may consider it undesirable to park alongside and share crash event information. For various reasons, the driver may feel the environment associated with the collision event unsafe. Also, the driver may not consider the light collision to be severe enough to stop and provide information about the collision event.
