1. An accident severity estimation system for estimating the severity of an accident for a vehicle, the accident severity estimation system comprising:
one or more microphones that capture a plurality of audio-based inputs indicative of verbal and non-verbal sounds emitted by one or more occupants of the vehicle;
a vision system that captures a plurality of vision-based inputs representing image data indicative of the occupants;
a motion-based input system that collects a plurality of motion-based inputs indicative of the motion of the vehicle during the accident;
a thermal incident system that collects a plurality of thermal inputs indicative of thermal events within the vehicle;
a propulsion system that provides a status-based input of the propulsion system of the vehicle; and
one or more controllers in electronic communication with the one or more microphones, the vision system, the motion-based input system, the thermal incident system, and the propulsion system, the one or more controllers executing instructions to:
combine the plurality of audio-based inputs based on at least a 2-value logic system to determine an audio-based indicator, the plurality of vision-based inputs based on the at least 2-value logic system to determine a vision-based indicator, and the plurality of thermal inputs based on the at least 2-value logic system to determine a thermal-based indicator, wherein the 2-value logic system is one of a binary logic system and a ternary logic system;
combine the plurality of motion-based inputs from the motion-based input system based on a weighted sum model to determine a motion-based indicator;
determine a propulsion-based indicator based on the status-based input;
estimate the severity of the accident based on the audio-based indicator, the vision-based indicator, the thermal-based indicator, the motion-based indicator, and the propulsion-based indicator, wherein the severity of the accident is based at least in part on an amount of acceleration the vehicle experiences during the accident;
determine one or more remedial actions based on at least the severity of the accident; and
instruct the vehicle to execute the one or more remedial actions, wherein the one or more remedial actions include one or more of the following: contacting emergency personnel, unlocking doors of the vehicle, lowering windows of the vehicle, sending an SOS signal to one or more vehicles that are located within a predefined radius from the vehicle, and contacting non-emergency personnel.
