Systems and methods for location reporting of detected events in vehicle operation
First Claim
1. An event reporting telematics unit configured to report the location of events, comprising:
- a first sensor configured to determine sensor information;
a storage device configured to store sensor information and an event reporting application; and
a processor;
wherein the event reporting application directs the processor to;
receive a first sensor information using the first sensor, wherein the first sensor information comprises location information and a first sensor information timestamp associated with the first sensor information;
determine the start of an occurrence of a vehicle event, wherein the vehicle event is an ignition detection;
complete the determination of the vehicle event, wherein the determined event comprises an event duration;
correlate the first sensor information with the determined event using the first sensor information timestamp;
determine a time corresponding to the beginning of the determined event based on the first sensor information timestamp and the event duration;
determine location data corresponding to the beginning of the determined event using the location information; and
store the determined location data using the storage device.
