A device adapted to capture vehicle data or surveillance data that includes a disk and a Non-Volatile Solid-State Memory (NVSM). The vehicle or surveillance data is received in a buffer of the device for storage on the disk, and an input is received indicating a level of mechanical shock. It is determined whether the input indicates the level of mechanical shock exceeds a first threshold indicative of an impact. If the input indicates the level of mechanical shock exceeds the first threshold, the vehicle or surveillance data is stored in the NVSM from the buffer and a status is determined for storing data on the disk.

The present invention discloses A vehicle dragging system, comprising a first dragging means and a second dragging means, which are sequentially arranged along a vehicle dragging direction, wherein in the vehicle dragging direction, the first dragging means is arranged at the upstream of the second dragging means, and a separating section is arranged between the first dragging means and the second dragging means, so that the first dragging means is separated from the second dragging means by a preset distance in the vehicle dragging direction, wherein the first dragging means comprises a first supporting plate, a first elongated traction element and a first pushing element connected with the first elongated traction element, and the first pushing element is adapted to move around the first supporting plate for pushing wheels to move along the first supporting plate, in order to drive a vehicle to advance; the second dragging means comprises a second supporting plate, a second elongated traction element and a second pushing element connected with the second elongated traction element, and the second pushing element is adapted to move along the second supporting plate for pushing wheels to move along the second supporting plate, in order to drive the vehicle to advance.

A vehicle measurement station utilizing at least one displacement sensor disposed on each opposite side of a sensor region of a vehicle inspection lane to acquire displacement measurement data, associated with a moving vehicle passing through the sensor region. Each displacement sensor is configured to acquire measurement data along at least three discrete and vertically spaced measurement axes. A processing system receives the acquired data for evaluation, identification of outlier data points, and for determining a measurement associated with a characteristic of the moving vehicle, such as vehicle velocity, axle alignment, wheel alignment, or dimensions.

A system for automatic characterization of a vehicle includes an input interface and a processor. The input interface is for receiving sensor data. The processor is for determining a vehicle characterization based at least in part on the sensor data and determining a vehicle identifier based at least in part on the vehicle characterization.

Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses provide a system that may facilitate communications so that parents or other superiors may monitor driving behavior of a vehicle carrying children or other subordinates. The system may allow communications to be sent from a parent computing device to a particular child computing device to set conditions for notifying the parent or superior of the driving behavior of a vehicle. Child computing devices may collect drive data (e.g., vehicle telematics data) for the system to evaluate and determine whether conditions are met (e.g., whether parental restrictions, like a geo-fence, are violated). Further, the system may send notifications to child computing devices and parent computing devices indicating whether the drive data meets the conditions of an agreement between a parent and teen. The system may also provide a web portal for use in forming the agreement between parents and their teens.

In a sensor device for detecting moisture on a roadway of a vehicle, particularly a motor vehicle, with at least one structure-borne sound sensor, with at least one circuit carrier, wherein the structure-borne sound sensor is connected in a signal-conducting manner to the circuit carrier, it is provided in a manner important for the invention that at least one structure-borne sound sensor is arranged in a housing, that the housing has at least one flat constructed housing area, that the structure-borne sound sensor is connected to the flat constructed housing area, so as to conduct structure-borne sound signals, and in that the housing is constructed as a resonant body, that the at least one circuit carrier is arranged in the housing, that the housing is provided for mounting in a wheel arch of a vehicle, that at least one connecting means for producing a connection between the housing and the wheel arch is assigned to the housing, and that the connecting means is constructed to be vibration damping, at least in certain sections.circuit carrier.
