AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional emergency notification systems fail to accurately determine the degree of injury to a vehicle occupant when a collision is prevented, leading to potential overtriage or undertriage in medical responses.

Method used

An emergency notification system that includes a seat belt detection unit, speed change detection unit, and injury determination unit to assess the degree of injury based on belt usage and vehicle speed changes during collision prevention, with optional impact detection for further refinement.

Benefits of technology

Accurately determines the degree of injury to a vehicle occupant before a collision occurs, enabling appropriate medical procedures and reducing overtriage and undertriage by providing precise injury information to emergency responders.

Abstract

Emergency alerting system (1), comprising: a seatbelt detection unit (41) that detects whether a vehicle occupant is wearing a seatbelt when a vehicle performs collision avoidance processing and then stops moving to prevent a collision from occurring, wherein collision avoidance processing is processing performed by the vehicle to prevent the collision from occurring; a speed change detection unit (42) that detects a change in the speed of the vehicle during a time interval between a time when the collision avoidance processing is being performed and a time when the vehicle stops moving; an injury determination unit (S120, S140) that determines the degree of injury of the vehicle occupant based on detection results acquired by the seat belt detection unit (41) and the speed change detection unit (42); and an emergency notification unit (S150) that reports the specific degree of injury of the vehicle occupant to a prescribed notification destination; and an impact detection unit (43) that detects an impact exerted on the vehicle; where, Only if the impact detection unit (43) detects an impact magnitude greater than a predetermined value during a time interval between the time at which the vehicle stops moving due to the collision prevention processing and a time at which a predetermined time period has elapsed from the time the vehicle stopped, the injury determination unit (S161) will again determine the level of injury of the vehicle occupant based on a detection result acquired by the impact detection unit (43), and the emergency reporting unit (S162) will again report the level of injury of the vehicle occupant as re-determined by the injury determination unit (S161).
