1. A method for vehicle data management, the method comprising:

  • receiving an accelerometer signal from an accelerometer mounted in a vehicle;

    determining an accelerometer specific force based on the accelerometer signal;

    receiving a speed signal from a speed sensor on the vehicle, wherein the speed signal indicates a speed of the vehicle;

    determining an instantaneous acceleration of the vehicle by calculating a rate of change of the speed based on the speed signal;

    selecting a current observed acceleration as a lower value of the accelerometer specific force and the instantaneous acceleration;

    capturing video footage with a camera mounted on the vehicle; and

    flagging the video footage corresponding to a time when the current observed acceleration exceeds a preset safe force value.
