Vehicle exception event management systems
First Claim
1. A discretization system configured to receive vehicle event information and form vehicle event records related to previously detected vehicle events, the discretization system comprising:
- one or more physical computer processors configured to;
receive first non-discrete sensory data that has been captured by a video camera, wherein the video camera has a field-of-view that includes an environment about a vehicle; and
receive first discrete quantitative data related to operation of the vehicle; and
a user interface, wherein the user interface receives one or more of entry and/or selection of manual interpretation information pertaining to the first non-discrete sensory data from a human interpreter, wherein the manual interpretation information includes discrete numeric values;
wherein the one or more physical computer processors are further configured to;
determine second discrete quantitative data based on the discrete numeric values included in the manual interpretation information;
form a vehicle event record that includes the first non-discrete sensory data, the first discrete quantitative data, and the second discrete quantitative data; and
transfer the vehicle event record to a remote computing device that is external to the vehicle.

Abstract
Exception event recorders and analysis systems include: vehicle mounted sensors arranged as a vehicle event recorder to capture both discrete and non-discrete data; a discretization facility; a database; and an analysis server all coupled together as a computer network. Motor vehicles with video cameras and onboard diagnostic systems capture data when the vehicle is involved in a crash or other anomaly (an ‘event’). In station where interpretation of non-discrete data is rendered, i.e. a discretization facility, captured data is used as a basis for production of supplemental discrete data to further characterize the event. Such interpreted data is joined to captured data and inserted into a database in a structure which is searchable and which supports logical or mathematical analysis by automated machines. A coupled analysis server is arranged to test stored data for prescribed conditions and upon finding such, to initiate further actions appropriate for the detected condition.

11. A method for receiving vehicle event information and forming vehicle event records related to previously detected vehicle events, the method comprising:
-
receiving first non-discrete sensory data that has been captured by a video camera, wherein the video camera has a field-of-view that includes an environment about a vehicle; receiving first discrete quantitative data related to operation of the vehicle; and receiving one or more of entry and/or selection of manual interpretation information pertaining to the first non-discrete sensory data from a human interpreter via a user interface, wherein the manual interpretation information includes discrete numeric values; determining second discrete quantitative data based on the discrete numeric values included in the manual interpretation information; forming a vehicle event record that includes the first non-discrete data, the first discrete quantitative data, and the second discrete quantitative data; transferring the vehicle event record to a remote computing device that is external to the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
