REVERSE EVENT SIGNATURE FOR IDENTIFYING HIT AND RUN VEHICLES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for identifying a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run accident, comprising:
- a processor;
a damage signature generator operable to execute on the processor and further operable to generate a damage signature associated with a first vehicle that is left behind with collision damage in a hit-and-run accident; and
a reverse event signature generator operable to execute on the processor and further operable to generate a reverse event signature that indicates a position of impact and severity of damage associated with a second vehicle involved in the hit-and-run accident that fled a scene of the hit-and-run accident, the reverse event signature generator generating the reverse event signature based on reverse engineering the damage signature associated with the first vehicle.

Abstract
Identifying a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run accident may comprise generating a damage signature associated with a first vehicle that is left behind with collision damage in a hit-and-run accident. A reverse event signature may be generated that indicates a position of impact and severity of damage associated with a second vehicle involved in the hit-and-run accident that fled a scene of the hit-and-run accident. The generating of the reverse event signature may be based on reverse engineering the damage signature associated with the first vehicle.

9. A computer readable storage medium storing a program of instructions executable by a machine to perform a method of identifying a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run accident, the method comprising:
-
generating a damage signature associated with a first vehicle that is left behind with collision damage in a hit-and-run accident; and generating a reverse event signature that indicates a position of impact and severity of damage associated with a second vehicle involved in the hit-and-run accident that fled a scene of the hit-and-run accident, the generating of the reverse event signature based on reverse engineering the damage signature associated with the first vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
