Abstract
An example trailer monitoring system includes a trailer monitoring unit including an image capture arrangement disposed within the trailer monitoring unit to capture first image data. An accelerometer is carried by the trailer monitoring unit is to generate acceleration data of the trailer monitoring unit. The trailer monitoring system also includes one or more processors configured to access the acceleration data and configured to compare the acceleration data to a reference acceleration data range to determine if the acceleration data is within the reference acceleration range. In response to the acceleration data being outside the reference acceleration data range, the one or more processors are to increase a tally of impact events associated with the trailer monitoring unit being impacted. In response to the tally satisfying a threshold, the one or more processors are to generate an alert indicative of the trailer monitoring unit requiring maintenance.
