VIN BASED ACCELEROMETER THRESHOLD
FIG2 is diagrammatic view of an vehicular telemetry hardware system including an on-board portion and a resident vehicular portion
Referring now to FIG2 of the drawings, there is illustrated a vehicular telemetry hardware system generally indicated at 30. The on-board portion generally includes: a DTE (data terminal equipment) telemetry microprocessor 31; a DCE (data communications equipment) wireless telemetry communications microprocessor 32; a GPS (global positioning system) module 33; an accelerometer 34; a non-volatile flash memory 35; and provision for an OBD (on board diagnostics) interface 36 for connection 43 and communicating with a vehicle network communications bus 37.
