Crash Detection

GIZO SDK analyzes motion data in real-time to detect vehicle accidents and immediately provides key details such as the exact time, location, vehicle dynamics, environmental conditions, crash severity, and potential causes. This enables faster response, better incident analysis, and streamlined claims processing.

How Does the Crash Detection Feature Function?

To enable crash detection, simply set GizoCrashSetting.detectCrash to true. Once activated, the crash detection pipeline operates fully automatically — the SDK continuously monitors for accidents, detects them in real-time, and seamlessly transmits the incident data to the GIZO server without any additional integration effort.

Once a crash is uploaded to the GIZO server, it undergoes thorough analysis to extract and deliver critical insights. This includes the precise time and GPS location of the incident, detailed vehicle dynamics such as speed and acceleration, as well as relevant environmental conditions like weather and road type. The system also assesses the severity of the crash and identifies possible causes, such as speeding or driver inattentiveness.

How to Test the Pipeline during Development?

You can test the crash detection pipeline using a simulated crash. To do this, set GizoCrashSetting.mode to Still_Test and shake the phone aggressively. In this test mode, the SDK will simulate a crash and returns a dummy crash event. The event will be logged in the the accident log file to simulate the upload process. However, it will not be uploaded to the GIZO platform in the test mode.

After testing, make sure to set GizoCrashSetting.mode back to Prod; otherwise, the system will not function in the case of a real crash.
