Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for determining a calculated impact severity for a first vehicle involved in an accident, comprising: receiving change in velocity data and pre-crash data from an event data recorder of the first vehicle at a computer system remote from the first vehicle; generating, at the computer system, a report of human factors using the pre-crash data and accident scene information input into the computer system; determining, at the computer system, a first calculation of impact severity for the first vehicle using the change in velocity data received from the event data recorder; obtaining, at the computer system, a second calculation of impact severity, the second calculation of impact severity determined without the change in velocity data received from the event data recorder; and combining, at the computer system, the first calculation of impact severity according to a first weighting and the second calculation of impact severity according to a second weighting to obtain the calculated impact severity.
