Abstract
An example trailer monitoring system includes a trailer monitoring unit (TMU) that has an image capture arrangement disposed within the TMU, the image capture arrangement to capture first image data, and an accelerometer carried by the TMU, the accelerometer to generate acceleration data of the TMU. The system also has 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 record an impact event associated with the TMU being impacted, and in response to the acceleration data being outside the reference acceleration data range, the one or more processors are to generate a message associated with the impact event.
