First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for managing a vehicle incident, the method comprising:
- monitoring, in response to a triggering event, a first vehicle having a first vehicle state including a respective condition of one or more components of the first vehicle;
detecting, for the first vehicle, a vehicle incident including a change to the respective condition of at least one of the one or more components of the first vehicle;
collecting, in response to detecting the vehicle incident for the first vehicle, incident circumstance information including a plurality of potential causes of the change to the respective condition of at least one of the one or more components of the first vehicle; and
providing incident data based on at least a portion of the incident circumstance information and at least a portion of the change to the respective condition of at least one of the one or more components of the first vehicle;
wherein the triggering event is an environmental stimuli including one or more selected from a group consisting of an audio trigger, a motion-based trigger, an impact trigger, or a visual trigger;
wherein the first vehicle is configured to detect the environmental stimuli using a sensor array having one or more sensors selected from a group consisting of cameras, microphones, motion sensors, or impact sensors;
wherein the vehicle incident includes an impact to the first vehicle from a second vehicle; and
wherein collecting incident circumstance information further comprises obtaining, from the second vehicle, identification information of the second vehicle including one or more of a license plate number, vehicle identification number, or insurance policy number.

Abstract
A system and computer implemented method for managing a vehicle incident is disclosed. The method may include monitoring, in response to a triggering event, a first vehicle having a first vehicle state including a set of physical condition characteristics. The method may also include detecting, for the first vehicle, a vehicle incident including a change of one or more physical condition characteristics of the set of physical condition characteristics. The method may also include collecting, in response to detecting the vehicle incident for the first vehicle, incident circumstance information including a set of potential causes of the vehicle incident. In certain embodiments, the method may include providing incident data based on at least a portion of the incident circumstance information and at least a portion of the change of one or more physical condition characteristics.
