Need of Multipoint Wireless Data Acquisition System for Vehicles
Just like “black boxes”
help determine the cause of an airplane accident, car black boxes help
determine what has caused a car accident and the events that led to collision.
They are particularly valuable when no witnesses are present at the scene of
the accident and when each driver has his/her own version of the events. The
benefits of car black boxes for reconstruction of the events before accident
are also emphasized by accident investigators, the police and increasing number
of insurance companies which now have a powerful tool to determine whether the
claim is justified or not.
The data from the car
black box is a reliable record of the driver’s actions few seconds before the
accident and is an important piece of evidence when there are no witnesses of
the accident or/and the drivers are blaming each other for causing the
collision. However, car accident investigators do not rely on the records of
car black boxes alone just like airplane crash investigators also collect the
fragments of the airplane before they start to search for potential causes and
explanations of the crash. Car accident investigators also look at the physical
evidence as well as try to find all the witnesses and individuals involved in
the accident. In fact, they check the data from the black box only when the
traditional way of reconstruction of the events is not possible or incomplete
for one reason or the other.
Unlike plane crashes,
car accidents are not that difficult to solve because a collision leaves a
series of evidence that point out to the cause of accident as well as who or
what has caused it. In addition, there is usually at least one witness of the
event other than the people involved in the accident. In most cases, accident
investigators do not need the data from the car black box but the small device
has helped solve a number of difficult cases and has been also used as evidence
in the courts.
I will shortly be posting the entire project and the circuit diagram with the datasheets and please feel free to comment your feedback will be greatly appreciated .
