1. A computer-implemented method for providing real-time notice from a vehicle involved in a crash to at least one of emergency responders and insurance companies, comprising:
- storing at a remote server system for one or more vehicle types comprised of either a specific vehicle make, model and year, or a vehicle class, data which is accumulated over time and used to generate one or more models used to statistically predict severity of injury to occupants of a vehicle or severity of damage to the vehicle in the event of a crash;
receiving at the remote server system from a processor of the on-board vehicle monitoring system, data associated with a crash event from one or more on-board vehicle monitoring devices which monitor
1) location of the vehicle,
2) date and time,
3) operating conditions for the vehicle,
4) vehicle crash conditions,
5) vehicle occupants, and which also monitors, if available, personal information for one or more vehicle occupants;
adding the received data to the database at the remote server system;
at the remote server system, correlating the received data with data in the database to identify one or both of
1) predicted parameters associated with one or more injury severity thresholds based on the type of vehicle, the received data, and one or more models in the database, or
2) predicted parameters associated with one or more damage severity thresholds based on the type of vehicle, the received data and one or more models in the database; and
based on the correlation sending out one or more notifications comprised of one or both of a notification of the severity of the crash and possible injury severity predicted by the one or more models, and a notification of the possible vehicle damage predicted by the one or more models, said one or both notifications being sent to one or both of an emergency responder and an insurance carrier.

Abstract
System and method for collecting and using vehicle data. Crash data is received from a plurality of vehicle monitoring devices and added to a crash data database. The database is updated with additional information gathered from specific crashes. The crash data is correlated based upon a vehicle type parameter. Crash data parameters associated with one or more injury severity thresholds are identified. Alternatively, crash data parameters associated with one or more vehicle damage severity thresholds are identified. Injury and property damage estimates for subsequent crashes are made based upon the information collected in the crash database.

15. A system for providing real-time notice from a vehicle involved in a crash to at least one of emergency responders and insurance companies, comprising:
-
a remote server system for storing one or more vehicle types comprised of either a specific vehicle make, model and year, or a vehicle class, and data which is accumulated over time and used to generate one or more models used to statistically predict severity of injury to occupants of a vehicle or severity of damage to the vehicle in the event of a crash; an on-board vehicle monitoring system comprised of a plurality of sensors for detecting data associated with a crash event by monitoring 1) location of the vehicle,
2) date and time,
3) operating conditions for the vehicle,
4) vehicle crash conditions,
5) vehicle occupants, and the on-board vehicle monitoring system also providing one or more sensors for detecting, if available, personal information for one or more vehicle occupants;a communications network through which the data detected at the on-board vehicle monitoring system is communicated to the remote server system to enable the remote server system to add the data received from the on-board monitoring system to the database, and then correlate the received data with data in the database to identify one or both of
1) predicted parameters associated with one or more injury severity thresholds based on the type of vehicle, the received data, and one or more models in the database, or
2) predicted parameters associated with one or more damage severity thresholds based on the type of vehicle, the received data and one or more models in the database; andone or more emergency responders or insurance carriers connected to the communications network for receiving from the remote server system one or more notifications comprised of one or both of a notification of the severity of the crash and possible injury severity predicted by the one or more models, and a notification of the possible vehicle damage predicted by the one or more models, said one or both notifications being sent to one or both of an emergency responder and an insurance carrier. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
