Individualizable Post-Crash Assist System
First Claim
1. A method for predicting potential injury assessments for occupants of a vehicle involved in a crash event and for broadcasting assessment of each occupant to a medical response unit, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting an occupant seated in each seat of a vehicle;
obtaining occupant data relating to physical characteristics of each occupant seated in the vehicle;
detecting the crash event involving the vehicle;
recording vehicle dynamic data and safety restraint data during the crash event;
predicting the potential injuries assessment of each occupant by a injury assessment processing module based on the vehicle dynamic data and safety restraint data obtained during the crash event and the occupant data of each occupant in the vehicle, the injury assessment processing module outputting the injury assessment of each occupant for evaluation by a medical response unit; and
broadcasting the corresponding injury assessment of each occupant of the vehicle to a medical response unit.

Abstract
A method for predicting potential injury assessment for at least one occupant of a vehicle involved in a crash event and for broadcasting assessment of the occupant to a medical response unit. An occupant seated in each seat of a vehicle is detected. Occupant data is obtained relating to physical characteristics of each occupant seated in the vehicle. A crash event involving the vehicle is detected. Vehicle dynamic data and safety restraint data during the crash event is recorded. The potential injury assessment of each occupant is predicted by an injury assessment processing module based on the vehicle dynamic data and safety restraint data obtained during the crash event and the occupant data of each occupant in the vehicle. The corresponding injury assessment of each occupant of the vehicle is broadcast to a medical response unit.

14. An automated injury assessment prediction system for a crash event comprising:
-
a plurality of sensors for obtaining vehicle dynamic data and safety restraint data relating to a crash event; an electronic control unit for receiving the vehicle dynamic data and the safety related data from the plurality of sensors; an injury assessment processing module in communication with the electrical control unit, the injury assessment processing module predicting a potential injury assessment for each occupant of the vehicle as a result of the crash event; an input device for inputting occupant data to the injury assessment processing module, the occupant data relating to physical characteristics of each occupant seated in the vehicle; and a communication device for notifying a medical response unit of the crash event and for broadcasting the predicted potential injuries of each occupant to a medical response unit; wherein the injury assessment processing module predicts the potential injuries of each occupant based on the vehicle dynamic data, the safety restraint data, and the occupant data of each occupant in the vehicle.
