Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting a point-of-impact of a vehicle collision. A mobile device receives a set of sensor measurements from sensors of the mobile device. The mobile device generates a crash feature vector from the sensor measurements and one or more point-of-impact features. The mobile device executes a set of classifiers using the crash feature vector and the one or more point-of-impact features. Each classifier of the set of classifiers is configured to generate an output that is partially indicative of a point-of-impact of the collision. The mobile device generates, from the output of each classifier of the set of classifiers, a prediction of a point of impact of the vehicle collision. The mobile device then transmits an indication of the point of impact to a remote device.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a mobile device disposed within a vehicle, a set of sensor measurements collected from an accelerometer of the mobile device during a first time period and converting the set of sensor measurements into a frequency domain. The method also includes filtering the set of sensor measurements to eliminate high frequency sensor measurements and defining a set of contiguous windows based on a remaining sensor measurements in the set of sensor measurements. Each contiguous window of the set of contiguous windows represents a contiguous portion of the remaining sensor measurements. The method further includes generating, for each contiguous window of the set of contiguous windows, a set of features by resampling the remaining sensor measurements of the contiguous window at one or more predefined frequencies and generating an estimated speed of the vehicle during the first time period using the set of features.

Abstract: Techniques described herein provide for methods and systems for vehicle crash prediction using multi-vehicle data. In one example, a method includes receiving event data for events identified by devices disposed in a plurality of vehicles from movements of the vehicles collected by the devices. For each pair of events, a degree of alignment is determined and used to identify candidate pairs of events. For each candidate pair of events, single event detection features are extracted and input into a crash prediction model to determine a crash correlation probability for whether both events correspond to a same crash event. Based on the probability, an indication of the same crash event is transmitted to a remote server associated with either or both vehicles involved in the crash event.
