METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING CRASH ANALYSIS OF ONE OR MORE VEHICLES
First Claim
1. A method for performing crash analysis of one or more vehicles involved in a crash, the method comprising:
- periodically receiving a plurality of GPS samples associated with a vehicle;
generating a trajectory for the vehicle by tracing the plurality of GPS samples;
segmenting the trajectory into one or more macro level segments, wherein each macro level segment is segmented into one or more micro level segments;
receiving a plurality of acceleration samples for at least one micro level segment of each macro level segment;
computing;
at least one micro level segment score corresponding to at least one micro level segment based upon the acceleration samples, andat least one macro level segment score corresponding to at least one macro level segment based upon the micro level segment score or a reference speed of the vehicle, wherein the reference speed is indicative of a speed measured corresponding to the at least one macro level segment and a macro level segment adjacent to the at least one macro level segment; and
determining a crash responsibility score based upon the at least one macro level score, the crash responsibility score for performing crash analysis of the vehicle.

Abstract
A method and system for crash analysis of one or more vehicles involved in a crash is disclosed. The method may comprise capturing data samples such as a plurality of GPS samples and a plurality of acceleration samples. The method may further comprise generating a trajectory. Moreover, the method may comprise segmenting the trajectory into a macro level segment and further into a micro level segment. The method may further comprise computing at least one macro level score based on the plurality of acceleration samples and the GPS samples. Based on the at least one macro level score, the method may be configured to compute a crash responsibility score for ascertaining crash responsibility.
