Communications hub for crash event detection, response, and reporting system

A system for detection of a crash of a motor vehicle with crash detection response and reporting, comprising:

• a mobile communications device configured with a sensor that generates a motion signal responsive to motion of the mobile communications device and a sound receiver for receiving a sound signal of sound proximate the mobile communications device, and including software instructions that upon execution monitors for an occurrence of a crash event by periodically interrogating as crash incident information (a) the motion signal to determine whether a change in motion exceeds a predetermined motion threshold and (b) the sound signal to determine whether a sequence of sensed sound signals within a predetermined period matches crash sound indicators of (i) glass breakage and (ii) metal folding;
• a display that upon determining the occurrence of the crash event displays a possible event window with a selectable option (a) to return the mobile communications device to monitoring for the occurrence of the crash event or (b) to confirm the crash event;
• upon either a confirmation or a failure of selection of one of the selectable options within a predetermined period, communicating by a communications network an identifier associated with the mobile communications device and the crash incident information including a location data to a tracking and dispatch center having a pre-registered record of the mobile communications device and configured for receiving and storing the motion signal and the sound signals on which the crash event was determined;
• and
• a servicer for dispatching by the tracking and dispatch center to a site of the crash incident based on the location data.
