Test your integration with the crash simulator

In order to check your integration and test the crash detection feature, you can use the trip simulator described in section simulate a crash during a trip.

To simulate a car accident, simply install the trip simulator and start a simulation with the configuration tripWithCrash.

Register to the Crash Notification API

Our platform can share a collision report that contains information about the accident.

This information can be used to:

  • trigger the intervention of an assistance service,

  • and initiate the accident management process.

If you want to know more and if you need to collect crash data on your platform, we invite you to contact us by email at contact@drivequant.com
