System and method for collision matching and information exchange

A method of a vehicle system for a first vehicle that automatically exchanges collision reports with a second vehicle, the method comprising:

• acquiring sensed vehicle data from a plurality of sensors distributed through the first vehicle, wherein the sensed vehicle data includes real-time vehicle data and image data of a surrounding environment of the first vehicle;
• detecting whether a collision event has occurred between the first vehicle and the second vehicle based on the sensed vehicle data acquired;
• detecting whether the collision event has occurred regarding the first vehicle with a nearest object;
• broadcasting a first collision message when the collision event has occurred;
• analyzing the image data of the sensed vehicle data to determine whether the nearest object is classified as a classified vehicle when the collision event has been determined, using image processing;
• scanning a predetermined range around the surrounding area of the first vehicle to detect a second collision message broadcasted from a nearby vehicle;
• performing a verification process on the second collision message to determine whether an identity of the nearby vehicle associated with the second collision message is a same identity as the classified vehicle, wherein the step of performing the verification process on the second collision message comprises:
• processing the image data, using an image processing technique, to determine a second vehicle make, a second vehicle model, and a second vehicle color of the classified vehicle associated with the image data;
• and
• comparing a nearby vehicle make, a nearby vehicle model and a nearby vehicle color associated of the nearby vehicle that broadcasted the second collision message to a classified vehicle make, a classified vehicle model and a classified vehicle color associated with the classified vehicle identified in the image data;
• and
• exchanging a first collision report from the first vehicle with a second collision report from the second vehicle based on the collision event and the nearby vehicle being identified as the second vehicle of the image data, wherein the first collision report includes a first driver insurance information associated with the first vehicle and the second collision report includes a second driver insurance information associated with the second vehicle.

A method of a vehicle system for a first vehicle that automatically exchanges collision reports with a second vehicle, the method comprising:

• acquiring sensed vehicle data from a plurality of sensors distributed through the first vehicle, wherein the sensed vehicle data includes real-time vehicle data and image data of a surrounding environment of the first vehicle, wherein the acquiring the sensed vehicle data comprises:
• acquiring the image data from at least two of the plurality of sensors;
• fusing the image data using a sensor fusing algorithm;
• analyzing a fused image data to detect an object nearest to the first vehicle;
• determining a distance between the first vehicle and the nearest object detected;
• performing an image processing technique on the image data to determine a classification of the nearest object detected;
• and
• classifying the nearest object as the second vehicle;
• detecting whether a collision event has occurred between the first vehicle and the second vehicle based on the sensed vehicle data acquired;
• broadcasting a first collision message when the collision event has occurred;
• scanning a predetermined range around the surrounding area of the first vehicle to detect a second collision message broadcasted from a nearby vehicle;
• performing a verification process on the second collision message to determine whether an identity of the nearby vehicle associated with the second collision message is a same identity as the classified vehicle, wherein the performing of the verification process on the second collision message includes:
• processing the image data, using an image processing technique, to determine a second vehicle make, a second vehicle model, and a second vehicle color of the classified vehicle associated with image data;
• and
• comparing a nearby vehicle make, a nearby vehicle model and a nearby vehicle color associated of the nearby vehicle that broadcasted the second collision message to a classified vehicle make, a classified vehicle model and a classified vehicle color associated with the classified vehicle identified in the image data;
• encrypting the first collision report with a public key, when the nearby vehicle shares the same identity as that of the classified vehicle of the image data and is referred to after the verification process as a verified vehicle;
• exchanging a first encrypted collision report of the first vehicle for a second encrypted collision report associated with the verified vehicle and the collision event, wherein the first encrypted collision report includes a first driver insurance information associated with the first vehicle and the second encrypted collision report includes a second driver insurance information associated with the second vehicle, and wherein the verified vehicle is the second vehicle;
• and
• displaying, using a human machine interface, a second decrypted driver insurance record based on the second encrypted driver insurance record and a decryption process.
