Systems and methods for detecting vehicle collisions are provided. The methods involve operating at least one processor to: receive telematics data originating from a telematics device installed in a vehicle, the telematics data including acceleration data; detect a putative collision event based on the acceleration data exceeding a predetermined acceleration threshold; identify a portion of the acceleration data associated with the putative collision event, the portion of the acceleration data spanning from a time prior to the putative collision event to a time subsequent to the putative collision event; identify at least one impulse in the portion of the acceleration data based on a predetermined jerk threshold; use a trained classifier on the at least one impulse to determine that the putative collision event is a collision event; and in response to determining the collision event, trigger at least one action responsive to the collision event.

Systems and methods for detecting vehicle collisions

The present systems, devices, and methods relate to managing shared vehicle access. Vehicle access can be provided to a candidate user based on whether the user is included in a list of at least one user associated with a respective virtual key. Virtual keys can be created, or lists of at least one user can be updated to include the candidate user, to in turn provide vehicle access. Virtual keys can be stored in a plurality of virtual key slots, with vehicle access being provided based on a virtual key stored in an active key slot. Status reports can be sent to a reservation management device, for updating virtual keys or lists of at least one user.

Methods for shared vehicle access

System, apparatus, device and methods relating to a telematic vehicle sharing platform ecosystem and a telematic vehicle share I/O expander to automate sharing and management of a vehicle that is shared by more than one operator.

Systems for shared vehicle access

To utilize a shared vehicle, a user can request access to the vehicle, which results in the generation of a virtual key. The virtual key is provided to a plurality of different devices, such as a vehicle device at the vehicle, and a user device in the possession of the user. Access to the vehicle can be granted and maintained by verification of the virtual key against data from an identification device at the vehicle, or from the user device. In this way, multiple options for vehicle access are available to the user, which increases flexibility and user-friendliness.
