METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF ENHANCING ACCELERATION INFORMATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for enhancing acceleration information, comprising:
- receiving, at a vehicle analysis system, a information generated by an monitoring device positioned within a vehicle, wherein the information corresponds generally to an event involving the vehicle;
receiving supplemental information generated by a supplemental device positioned within the vehicle, wherein the supplemental information relates to the event; and
generating enhanced information relating to the event based at least in part on the information and the supplemental information.

Abstract
The present invention relates to using information from a monitoring device and other vehicle information from a supplemental device to create enhanced data about an event involving the vehicle. An event could include vehicle turning events, vehicle acceleration, a vehicle braking event, among others. In some examples a scalar acceleration value corresponding to the vehicle is processed with supplemental information to produce enhanced acceleration information.
