Abstract
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a device and technique for impact detection includes an impact indicator having a housing enclosing a detection assembly configured to detect an acceleration event. The indicator also includes switch circuitry and a radio-frequency identification (RFID) module coupled to the switch circuitry. Responsive to detecting the acceleration event, the detection assembly causes a change in the switch circuitry, wherein the change in the switch circuitry causes a change in a value output by the RFID module when activated. The indicator also includes logic configured to blockchain data output by the indicator.
