Patent
CA 2284061
An impact monitoring device is provided for mounting on a vehicle for monitoring any impacts the vehicle incurs. The device includes a main housing to be mounted below the vehicle's console. An impact sensing element is mounted on the vehicle remotely from the main housing and includes an accelerometer therein which produces an impact signal representing a magnitude of acceleration. The impact signal is received by a microprocessor mounted within the main housing. An operator interface is mounted on the vehicle's console remotely from the main housing. The operator interface receives coded signals from the operator and transmits the coded signals to the microprocessor for programming and instructing the microprocessor on how to process the impact signals. If an impact signal is received by the microprocessor which exceeds a predetermined impact threshold, an alarm state is activated. The alarm state activates an audio alarm and disables the vehicle until a coded disarming signal is received by the operator interface.
