<aside> 💡 The crash detection algorithm is based on monitoring the smartphones key sensors: Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Magnetometer and GPS.
</aside>
The algorithm will detect when an unusual driving pattern occurs equal to a motorcycle accident, such as deceleration and tumbling followed by a non movement pattern. If the driver starts to move and/or continue riding after an accident, the crash alarm will not go off. If a crash is detected, an alarm notification is activated on the riders phone with both alarm sound and vibrations. The driver now has 60 seconds to deactivate the alarm if the driver is unharmed and don’t need any emergency help.
<aside> 💡 The crash detection is always on when you are tracking or navigating a route with Detecht. Just make sure you have added an emergency contact.
