Abstract: A glazing including a reusable sensing device for detecting vibration of the glazing. The reusable sensing device includes at least one vibration sensor able to capture and to convert a vibration of the glazing into an analogic signal, at least one operational amplifier able to process the analogic signal, at least one window comparator able to determine if the analogic signal is below a minimal threshold or above a maximal threshold, a microcontroller able to convert the analogic signal received from each of the at least one operational amplifier into digital data, the microcontroller being able to be activated by each of the at least one window comparator, and an SR latch with an S input connected to each of the at least one window comparator, an R input connected to the microcontroller, and a Q output connected to each of the at least one operational amplifier.

Abstract: A method for detection and analysis of an external event occurring on an automotive glazing that includes receiving a signal with characteristic information of at least one electrical signal resulting from an occurrence of the external event on the automotive glazing. The method further includes applying the signal with characteristic information to a computer-implemented classification model, where for each of one or more quantities related to the characteristic information, a prediction is made of a value of a parameter indicative of the external event. The method further includes deriving a decision on whether to replace or repair based on the value of the parameter from the predictions.
