Abstract

An approach is provided for vehicle accident response using diagnostic data burst transmission. In the approach, a set of vehicle data is collected during operation of a vehicle. When an impact is detected, the set of vehicle data is transmitted using a short range wireless communication technology to any receivers that are proximate to the vehicle, such as a second vehicle that was involved in the impact. The vehicle data may include intra-vehicle data, such as the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle, as well as extra-vehicle data, such as a timestamp.
