Abstract

A method for dealing with a traffic accident includes the following steps: the driving data of a car is detected, and then the driving data of the car is recorded. When the traffic accident occurs, the driving data of the car recorded for a period of time until the traffic accident is transferred to a traffic managing center.

Claims

1. A method for dealing with a traffic accident, comprising steps of:

detecting the driving data of a car;

recording the driving data of the car; and

transferring the driving data of the car recorded for a period of time until the traffic accident to a traffic managing center when the traffic accident occurs.

2. The method for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 1, wherein the step of recording the driving data of the car comprises:

detecting the position of the car by a global positioning system;

recording the position of the car; and

calculating the driving path of the car by at least distinct two of the positions of the car.

3. The method for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 2, wherein the step of recording the driving data of the car comprises:

calculating the velocity of the car according to the driving path of the car and a time interval therebetween.

4. The method for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 1, further comprising:

detecting the vibration of the car;

determining whether the traffic accident occurs according to the vibration of the car; and

generating a crash data according the vibration of the car when the traffic accident occurs.

5. The method for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 4, further comprising:

packaging the crash data and the driving data of the car in an accident report.

6. The method for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 5, further comprising:

transferring the accident report to the traffic managing center; and

saving the accident report in a file.

7. The method for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 1, further comprising:

capturing at least one image from the car; and

generating an image data according to the image.

8. The method for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 7, further comprising:

packaging the image data and the driving data of the car in an accident report.

9. The method for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 8, further comprising:

transferring the accident report to the traffic managing center; and

saving the accident report in a file.

10. The method for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 1, further comprising:

detecting the velocity of the car by a speedometer; and

generating a speed data according to the velocity of the car.

11. The method for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 10, further comprising:

packaging the speed data generated during the period of time and the driving data of the car in an accident report.

12. The method for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 11, further comprising:

transferring the accident report to the traffic managing center; and

saving the accident report in a file.

13. An apparatus for dealing with a traffic accident, comprising:

a driving detector for detecting the driving data of a car;

a driving recorder for recording the driving data of the car;

a determining module for determining whether the traffic accident occurs; and

a transferring module for transferring the driving data of the car recorded for a period of time until the traffic accident to a traffic managing center when the traffic accident occurs.

14. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 13, wherein the driving detector comprises:

a global positioning system for detecting the position of the car; and

a path calculating unit for calculating the driving path of the car by at least distinct two of the positions of the car.

15. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 14, wherein the determining module determines whether the traffic accident occurs by the driving path of the car.

16. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 14, wherein the driving detector comprises:

a speed calculating unit for calculating the velocity of the car according to the driving path of the car and a time interval therebetween.

17. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 16, wherein the determining module determines whether the traffic accident occurs by the velocity of the car.

18. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 13, further comprising:

a vibration detector for detecting the vibration of the car; and

a generator for generating a crash data according the vibration of the car.

19. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 18, wherein the determining module determines whether the traffic accident occurs by the vibration of the car.

20. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 18, further comprising:

a packaging module for packaging the crash data and the driving data of the car in an accident report.

21. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 20, further comprising:

a saving module for saving the accident report in a file.

22. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 13, further comprising:

a camera for capturing at least one image from the car; and

a generator for generating an image data according to the image.

23. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 22, further comprising:

a packaging module for packaging the image data generated during the period of time and the driving data of the car in an accident report.

24. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 23, further comprising:

a saving module for saving the accident report in a file.

25. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 13, further comprising:

a speedometer for detecting the velocity of the car; and

a generator for generating a speed data according to the velocity of the car.

26. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 25, wherein the determining module determines whether the traffic accident occurs by the velocity of the car.

27. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 25, further comprising:

a packaging module for packaging the speed data generated during the period of time and the driving data of the car in an accident report.

28. The apparatus for dealing with the traffic accident according to claim 27, further comprising:

a saving module for saving the accident report in a file.
