Verification of eCall Unit Parameters to Describe the Traffic Accident Seriousness

ABSTRACT

The article deals with parameter verification for an eCall unit Black box type that can be further used to estimate the consequences of a traffic accident. As the unit is mainly designed to be installed into older types of vehicles, it only uses an internal accelerometer located on a printed circuit to identify the moment of collision, but this can affect the resulting acceleration measurement. A series of measurements is described in the article (crash test and a test on acceleration unit) during which the acceleration signal from an eCall unit is compared with the external accelerometer signal and the correlation analysis of both signals was performed afterwards.
