PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR DYNAMIC EVENT VERIFICATION & SENSOR SELECTION
20230229152 · 2023-07-20 ·

Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing platforms that utilize improved techniques for dynamic event verification. A computing platform may receive first source data comprising driving data associated with a vehicle over a time period. Based on the first source data, the computing device may determine that the vehicle experienced an event, resulting in an event output. In response to determining the event output, the computing device may generate a request for second source data associated with the vehicle over the time period. The computing device may receive, from a sensor device, the second source data. Based on a comparison of the first source data to the second source data, the computing platform may determine an event comparison output. The computing platform may determine that the event comparison output exceeds a predetermined comparison threshold, and may send an indication of an event in response.

School bus emergency egress system
11560046 · 2023-01-24 ·

An emergency egress system for a multi-passenger vehicle such as a school bus (10) includes a housing (30) that operatively supports a ramp (34) in movable connection therewith. Opening an emergency exit door (18) of the bus causes a housing door (24) to open and the ramp to move outwardly from a retracted position toward an extended position. Opening the emergency exit door also causes the suspension of the bus to be automatically lowered to place the emergency exit opening (16) closer to the ground (166).
