Abstract
A monitoring apparatus provides vehicle telematics data. The monitoring apparatus includes a sensor for sensing vehicle and engine motion induced vibration in part of a vehicle and for generating vibration associated data. The sensor is coupled to part of the vehicle. Engine motion induced vibration associated data is processed to extract a characteristic of the vehicle or the engine.
Claims14
A monitoring apparatus for providing vehicle related data, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one sensor for sensing vehicle related motion and for generating associated vehicle related motion data;
- a processor for processing said vehicle motion associated data to generate processed data representing at least one characteristic of said vehicle;
- and
- a transceiver for communicating said processed data representing at least one characteristic of said vehicle to a communication device for use in compiling telematics data for said vehicle;
- wherein said processor is configured to identify at least one vehicle related event from said vehicle related motion data;
- and
- wherein said processor is configured to perform a preliminary analysis on acquired data, prior to storing any acquired data for subsequent transmission, and to determine, based on the analysis whether at least one specific event has occurred and based on a determination that the at least one specific event has occurred to determine that the acquired data should be stored.
