Systems and methods are disclosed with respect to using a blockchain for managing the subrogation claim process related to a vehicle accident, in particular, determining fault as part of the subrogation process. An exemplary embodiment may include receiving an electronic notification of a vehicle collision; receiving sensor data (such as telematics, image, audio, vehicle operational, or other sensor data) related to the vehicle collision; determining a percentage of fault of the vehicle collision for one or more vehicles, vehicle systems, and/or drivers based upon, at least in part, analysis of the sensor data collected; and creating a blockchain for the vehicle collision with one or more links to the sensor image data and an indication of the percentage of fault(s) determined to facilitate blockchain-based claim handling.

A recording apparatus includes: a captured data acquisition unit configured to acquire captured data captured by a camera that captures an image of an outside of a vehicle; an event detection unit configured to detect an event with respect to the vehicle; an attachment/detachment detection unit configured to detect an attachment/detachment state of the recording apparatus with respect to the vehicle; and a recording controller configured to store, when the event detection unit has detected the event, captured data for a predetermined period of time due to the detected event as first event recording data, invalidate, when it is detected by the attachment/detachment detection unit that the recording apparatus has been detached from the vehicle, the detection of the event by the event detection unit after the detection of the detachment, and store captured data after the detection of the detachment as second event recording data.

A device receives a vehicle inspection report submission including imaging information identifying a set of images of a vehicle from a user device, and identifies and obtains, from a data structure, a set of stored vehicle attributes relating to a previous condition of the vehicle. The device determines, based on the set of images and using computer vision processing, a set of identified vehicle attributes that relate to a present condition of the vehicle. The device selectively validates, based on the set of identified vehicle attributes and the set of stored vehicle attributes and based on location information identifying the user device within a threshold proximity of the vehicle when the set of images were captured, the vehicle inspection report submission. The device transmits information identifying a result of selectively validating the vehicle inspection report submission, selectively updates the vehicle attribute record, and selectively provides the updated vehicle attribute record.

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for controlling a lane change using V2V communication information and an apparatus for calculating tendency information for the same. According to the apparatuses and the method, it is possible to improve safety when changing lanes by receiving diving information of drivers of other vehicles from communication modules of the other vehicles, generating tendency information of the drivers of the other vehicles on the basis of the driving information, and performing lane change control using the tendency information.

The invention relates to a method for asseverating video images, photos, audio-video and/or data in general, acquired from different sources (10, 11, 12, 13), wherein the images are first validated to verify the absence of tampering and then subjected to a step of certifying, in which they are encrypted.

The encrypted images are accessible only to authorised and identified users, who are provided with the decryption code. The invention also comprises a system for implementing the method.

The present invention provides to a recording apparatus and method for recording data, in particular video data associated with a vehicle. Video data are only recorded, as long as a predefined trigger event is true. Upon detecting such a trigger event, the trigger event is further analyzed and the recording of the video data is immediately stopped when it is detected that the trigger event is no longer valid. In this way, the recording of the video data can be limited for reducing the amount of video data to be stored. According to further embodiments, the amount of video data to be recorded can be further minimized by adapting the video frame rate, the resolution, and compression rate or color format of the video data.

A method includes receiving a first set of images from an image capture device of a vehicle. The method also includes performing a first analysis of movement of biomechanical points of occupants of the vehicle in the first set of images. The method further includes receiving an indication that a traffic incident has occurred. The method also includes receiving a second set of images from the image capture device corresponding to when the traffic incident occurred. The method further includes performing a second analysis of movement of the biomechanical points of the occupants in the second set of images. The method also includes determining a likelihood of injury or a severity of injury to the occupants based on the first analysis of movement and the second analysis of movement.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture disclosed herein may be used to manage audiovisual recording in a connected vehicle. An example disclosed method includes accessing a profile having a recording parameter and a first quality selected by a user from a recording server. The example method also includes comparing a reading from a vehicle sensor to the recording parameter in the profile to determine whether to record a video. Additionally, the example method includes, in response to determining to record the video, storing the video using the first quality to a memory located in the vehicle.

A system for imaging and analyzing a vehicle may include a frame having a central passage, wherein the central passage is configured and dimensioned to allow a vehicle to pass through. The frame may include, for example, a pair of substantially vertical legs connected at the top by a cross member, wherein the legs and cross member define the central passage. One or more bollards may be positioned in front of and/or behind the frame. A plurality of cameras within the each leg, cross member, and/or bollard may be directed toward the passage to record video images of a passing vehicle. Integrated LED array panels may provide bands of light to aid in detection of surface anomalies, for example by simultaneous analysis of symmetrical sides of the vehicle.

Systems and methods monitor driver behavior for vehicular fleet management in a fleet of vehicles using driver-facing imaging device. The systems and methods herein relate generally to vehicular fleet management for enhancing safety of the fleet and improving the performance of the fleet drivers, and further relate to monitoring the operation of fleet vehicles using one or more driver-facing imaging devices disposed in the fleet vehicles for recording activities of the fleet drivers and their passengers, storing information relating to the monitored activities, selectively generating warnings related to the monitored activities, and reporting the monitored activities to a central fleet management system for use in enhancing the safety of the vehicles of the fleet and for helping to improve the performance of the fleet drivers.
