Abstract
A method and system for predicting, detecting, and storing vehicle dynamics information. The method comprises receiving a series of consecutive signals indicating speed of a vehicle and additional data associated with the signals over a vehicle bus for a configurable period of time, comparing the consecutive speed signal with the previous speed signal to identify deceleration and acceleration of the vehicle, calculating a deceleration rate based on the sum of decelerations and accelerations, and storing the signals and additional data associated with the signals in a vehicle memory when the calculated deceleration rate is greater than or equal to a configurable event detection threshold deceleration rate. This configuration does not require the use of vehicle sensors, but instead utilizes pre-existing vehicle infrastructure, which allows for more precise analysis of vehicle dynamics information during an event like a collision, for all vehicles, in a cost-effective manner.
