Described herein is an onboard vehicle accident detection and damage estimation system and method of use. In accordance with an embodiment, a vehicle is equipped with a portable device comprising sensors that monitor vehicle and driver activity and a data collection and assessment module. Incoming sensor data is compared to historical patterns to detect when an accident has occurred. Once an accident is detected, an estimation of damage and injury is performed. The information can be used, for example, by an investigator or an insurance claims adjuster, to review the status or operation of a vehicle at the time of the accident. Additional uses of the system include notification to emergency responders and determination of the driving risk associated with segments of a transportation network. |
