Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de localisation et de notification d'urgence destiné à être utilisé en cas d'accident ou autre événement traumatique survenant à un véhicule, qui permet de déterminer la localisation et de détecter l'état dudit véhicule. Le système utilise un récepteur de positionnement global (10) pour déterminer la localisation du véhicule et des capteurs (18) pour vérifier l'état du véhicule, tel que position, ralentissement, choc, température et niveau audio de l'habitacle. Les informations de localisation et d'état sont communiquées à un processeur de données (20), qui compare ces données aux paramètres établis et aux données de localisation et d'état récemment mises en mémoire. Si les informations de localisation et/ou d'état tombent à l'extérieur des paramètres établis ou que les nouvelles données sont différentes des données récemment mises en mémoire, des informations sont transmises à une station de base. Ces informations sont également communiquées à une interface utilisateur (46), disposée normalement dans l'habitacle du véhicule, qui comprend un dispositif d'affichage, un écran et un haut-parleur/microphone. Un émetteur-récepteur radio (14) sert de liaison de données avec un réseau radio à satellite. Le système fonctionne en permanence et sans intervention de l'utilisateur.
