This invention relates to the use and proper placement in a vehicle of a
mobile wireless phone having cellular or
GPS positioning capability and an
impact sensor, e.g.
triaxial accelerometer. Said sensor instantly detects a serious
vehicular accident or theft, then and without driver or passenger intervention, automatically transmits an emergency appeal for assistance to appropriate Police /
Emergency Medical Services (PEMS), or Fire Rescue units, apprizing the PEMS of said exigency and location. Otherwise, the integrated
mobile phone system will function in a manner that is similar to a conventional
wireless mobile phone. Optionally, the integrated
mobile wireless phone may include means for receiving an emergency medical
signal and automatically communicates an appeal for emergency assistance when the user having said unit and having a predisposed life threatening medical condition, encounters a life threatening anomaly, e.g., heart
attack.
System provides means to mitigate multi-vehicle collisions that are normally associated with environmental road hazards
fog, ice, etc., by instantly alerting authorities and / or drivers in the region of the location of said
hazard when an accident occurs.
