Biometric Vehicular Emergency Management System
First Claim
1. A vehicular emergency management system, the vehicular emergency management system comprising:
- at least one biometric monitor for collecting biometric data regarding at least one occupant of a vehicle;
at least one sensor for collecting data regarding at least one operational characteristic of the vehicle;
a processing device coupled to the monitor and the sensor, capable of detecting at least one vehicular emergency through analysis of at least a portion of the biometric data and the operational characteristic data.

Abstract
Techniques for managing vehicular emergencies are disclosed. For example, a method of managing a vehicular emergency includes the steps of collecting biometric data regarding at least one occupant of a vehicle, collecting data regarding at least one operational characteristic of the vehicle, and detecting vehicular emergencies through analysis of at least a portion of the biometric data and the operational characteristic data. This method may also include communicating at least one message relating to the data, wherein the content of the message is determined by the processing device based at least in part on the data and/or controlling a function of the vehicle in response to the data. The method may also include collecting data regarding at least one operational characteristic of at least one proximate vehicle.
