  • Systems and methods for proximate event capture
    Patent number: 11479260
    Abstract: A method includes collecting sensor data from a sensor associated with a vehicle, storing the sensor data in a buffer associated with the sensor, wherein the buffer stores an amount of buffer data, analyzing the sensor data for a proximate event trigger. When the proximate event trigger is not detected, the method includes purging a portion of the sensor data exceeding the amount of buffer data. When the proximate event trigger is detected, the method includes stopping the purging of any of the sensor data and storing the sensor data of the buffer and the sensor data associated with the proximate event trigger and sending the sensor data of the buffer and the sensor data associated with the proximate event trigger to a server.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems and methods for proximate event capture
    Patent number: 10336343
    Abstract: A method includes collecting first data from a first sensor associated with a vehicle and determining, based on the first data, that an event involving the vehicle may occur. The method includes identifying a second sensor located within a proximity of the vehicle and causing the second sensor to collect second data. The method also includes associating the first data and the second data with a first event associated with the vehicle.
