Automatic accident reporting apparatus for two-wheeled vehicles

Abstract

An automatic accident reporting apparatus for a two-wheeled vehicle, which can detect an accident with a simple construction but without using any acceleration sensor. The automatic accident reporting apparatus comprises an accident detecting unit (3) for detecting that the two-wheeled vehicle has been involved in an accident; and an accident reporting unit (7) for reporting predetermined accident information to the outside if the accident detecting unit (3) has detected an accident. The accident detecting unit (3) includes an inclination sensor (2) for measuring the angle of inclination of the vehicle; and an accident judging unit (340) for judging that an accident has occurred if the angle of inclination measured by the inclination sensor (2) is more than a predetermined value for a predetermined or longer time period.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a two-wheel vehicle accident automatic notification device, in particular to a two-wheel vehicle accident automatic notification device which can automatically report the accident of two wheels by a simple structure without using an acceleration sensor. Background technique [0002] In the case of a vehicle accident, an accident automatic notification device that can automatically report the occurrence of an accident so that rescue measures can be taken quickly is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-16399 or Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-5626. [0003] In the prior art described above, when the acceleration sensor installed in the vehicle detects a large acceleration, it is determined that an accident has occurred, and the accident and the location information of the own vehicle are notified to a predetermined contact address through a wireless communication device. In such an accident determination usin...

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, it is difficult to detect collisions and falls with a single acceleration sensor, and there is a problem that it is necessary to install a plurality of acceleration sensors with different sensitivities or to use an expensive acceleration sensor with wide sensitivity.

[0005] In addition, when judging a collision by the acceleration sensor, even if the output signal of the acceleration sensor shows a large value, it is necessary to distinguish whether it is really caused by an accident or caused by driving on a curb, so there is a need for waveform analysis, etc. Advanced Collision Judgment Handling Issues
