Abstract: Using object detection in potentially dangerous areas (such as road crossings, intersections, streets with high pedestrian or cyclist activity) and existing vulnerable road user EBA algorithms, the events leading up to a collision, as well as the actual collision event may be recorded such that an accurate account of the accident is achieved, and local law enforcement agencies may be immediately notified. Since EBA systems have sensors that may accurately determine the location, speed, and direction of objects (pedestrians, cyclists, etc), and may be equipped with V2x technologies and communicate with the smart city infrastructures, key information may be obtained and sent to various servers for companies to determine pre-crash scenario accidents occurring in near real-time using cloud type services via cellular, wifi, and other networks, such that developers of safety technologies may use this information quickly implement new safety technologies or improve existing ones.
