The basic premise of this app is to monitor the phone GPS and accelerometers to detect non standard moment. For example, if you are doing 30mph, then suddenly drop to near 0 mph in a non linear manner, it would alert you for 1 min and if you do not respond, it will send out 5 emails with your position.\u00a0 You can check out the video at the end of this post for a demo.<\/p>\n<p>If the algorithms are set up correctly on this app the odds of a false alarm are pretty unlikely, however for a motorcycle rider, it may be a bit harder to detect.\u00a0 If you are riding, and say slide out from a turn or wet payment, 1 of two things will happen; you will slide to a stop, or you will tumble to a stop. If you tumble I&#8217;m guessing the app will detect this.\u00a0 If you slide, then this could look like a quick stop as far as the phone is concerned.\u00a0 Video at the end of post. I have no intentions of testing this.\u00a0\u00a0 More from the creator&#8230;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When  &#8220;MayDay Light&#8221; is activated on the user\u2019s iPhone, it samples the  onboard GPS and accelerometers to monitor the velocity and acceleration  of the vehicle it is driving in via a simple but effective algorithm,  and which can detect the characteristic indications of an accident with  little chance of a false alarm.<\/p>\n<p>As  soon as &#8220;Mayday Light&#8221; detects that that an event has occurred which  could be an accident, it sets off an alarm which will operate for 1  minute, during which time the automatic reporting can be reset thus  preventing unnecessary nuisance accident emails.\u00a0 After the minute has  elapsed, the email messages with the pre-prepared text will be sent to  the email addresses which have been prepared in advance by the user<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iwJ76ts4sCY?wmode=transparent&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1&amp;theme=dark&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;hd=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H3>Related Posts<\/H3><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Where to? updated and on sale.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/where-to-updated-and-on-sale\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Where to? updated and on sale.<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Google Maps for iOS5 is back yea&#8217;ll!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2012\/12\/google-maps-for-ios5-is-back-yeall\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Google Maps for iOS5 is back yea&#8217;ll!<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"iOS6 maps sucks so bad, I&#8217;m writing a follow up.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2012\/09\/ios-maps-sucks-so-bad-im-writing-a-follow-up\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">iOS6 maps sucks so bad, I&#8217;m writing a follow up.<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Automatically get or send a message based on location with an older iPhone\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2012\/01\/automatically-get-or-send-a-message-based-on-location-with-an-older-iphone\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Automatically get or send a message based on location with an older iPhone<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"3D ski maps for the iphone.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2011\/12\/3d-ski-maps-for-the-iphone\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">3D ski maps for the iphone.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I get lots of press releases about how something can saves lives and normally, its a borderline case, but I think this app really could.\u00a0 And as a motorcyclist, I may install this and keep it running in the background 24\/7.
