Abstract
An identification system for identifying, recording, and alerting to an impact between a vehicle and an impacting object, such as another vehicle that impacts the vehicle. At least one sensor positions on a front and rear bumper of the vehicle for sensing the impact and actuating the system in response. At least one camera on the vehicle periphery records the impacting object. Each camera positions on a periphery of the vehicle and tilts up to 180 degrees. An alert portion emits an alert in response to the impact. An antenna communicates with a positioning system to identify a location of the vehicle during the impact. A communication device stores and relays information, such as vehicle identification number, license plate number, and drivers license information of the impacting object to an emergency department. A processor and a SIM card store and identify information about each vehicle.
