SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODIFYING ONBOARD EVENT DETECTION AND/OR IMAGE CAPTURE STRATEGY USING EXTERNAL SOURCE DATA

摘要

A system for use on a vehicle comprising a tractor and a trailer comprises a communications device that effects communications between the system and a remote system. The communications device is configured to receive data from the remote system. An event detector is configured to generate a trigger signal in response to detecting occurrence of predetermined events. An onboard computer is coupled to the communications device, the event detector, a media recorder, and a computer of the vehicle. One or more image capture devices at the vehicle are communicatively coupled to one or both of the onboard computer and the media recorder. The onboard computer is configured to adjust one or more parameters of the image capture devices and/or modify one or more parameters of the event detector based at least in part on the data received from the remote system.

1. A system for use on a vehicle comprising a tractor and a trailer, the system comprising:
an onboard computer configured to communicate with a computer of the vehicle and a central office; an event detector coupled to the onboard computer and configured to generate a trigger signal in response to detecting an occurrence of predetermined events; one or more image capture devices situated at the vehicle and communicatively coupled to the onboard computer; and a media recorder coupled to the one or more image capture devices; wherein the onboard computer is configured to one or both of:
adjust an image capture strategy affecting the one or more image capture devices based at least in part on data received from the central office; andmodify one or more parameters of the event detector based at least in part on data received from the central office; the onboard computer further configured to effect storing of image data on the media recorder received from the one or more image capture devices and storing of event data in a memory in response to the trigger signal.
