Mobile asset data management system
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring impact of an asset, said system comprising:
- an input unit operable to receive an operator identifier of the asset prior to the asset being operated;
at least one sensor coupled to the asset and operable to sense an impact on the asset, and operable to produce at least one impact signal associated therewith;
a processing unit in communication with said input unit and said at least one sensor, said processing unit being operable to receive the at least one impact signal from said at least one sensor, said processing unit further operable to determine, based on the at least one impact signal, a level of impact on the asset; and
a storage unit in communication with said processing unit and operable to store the operator identifier and level of impact as a dataset.

Abstract
An impact detection system and method for use with a mobile asset is described. The system includes a user input unit, a sensor, a processing unit, and a storage unit. The user input unit receives an operator identifier from the asset before the asset is operated. The sensor is coupled to the asset and adapted to sense an impact on the asset, and operable to produce an impact signal. The processing unit is in communication with the input and the sensor, operable to receive the impact signal from the sensor, and further operable to determine, based on the impact signal, a level of impact on the asset. The storage unit is in communication with the processing unit and can store the operator identifier and level of impact as a dataset. The method includes receiving an operator identifier of the asset prior to the asset being operated, receiving at least one impact signal, determining, based on the at least one impact signal, a level of impact, and storing the operator identifier and level of impact as a dataset.
