An impact occurred with a vehicle, person, animal and/or object. Alternatively, the driver lost control of the vehicle. For example, the vehicle spins, hits the curb and/or mounts the soft shoulder.
Scenario
When an event is triggered, this is reviewed by the cloud AI. The cloud AI analyzes the event and detects other events, for example Collision. Then a classification is applied.
Example 1
A Hard braking event is reviewed by the cloud AI. The cloud AI detects a significant impact exerted on the vehicle and a person, animal or object very close by. A Collision behavior and a Critical classification is applied.
Example 2
A Harsh cornering event is reviewed by the cloud AI. The cloud AI detects the vehicle swerving off the road onto the soft shoulder. A Collision behavior and a Critical classification is applied.
How collisions are detected
A Collision tag is applied by:
How to prevent videos falsely triggering
Videos can be falsely triggered, usually when an AI Dashcam lens is obstructed or in the wrong position.
How collisions affect a driver's safety score
When a collision is detected, it negatively impacts the Video driver safety score. Riskier behaviors impact the score more negatively than others.
