A crane monitoring system and method is characterized by a plurality of sensors mounted to a crane which communicate data to an on-board control unit. The control unit is characterized by having “black box” functionality. A tip switch is mounted in parallel relation to the vertical portion of a hoist cable below the boom tip. The control unit processes and stores input data from the sensors which will indicate unsafe crane conditions, defined as alarm events such as dragging and extrication events. Each stored event has a time and date stamp. Upon detection of an alarm event, the control unit logs data from the sensors into a non-volatile memory, along with the data from a period of time prior to the alarm event. Data is stored continuously until the alarm event clears. Additional data is stored for a period of time after the conclusion of the alarm event.

A system of electrical modules includes a plurality of modules, including power modules, control modules, and output modules. Power modules provide power for powering one or more control and output modules. Control modules provide control signals to one or more output modules. Output modules perform predefined functions responsive to receiving power from a power module and/or a control signal from a control module. All of the modules have like mating connectors and like connector wiring. This arrangement forms a system bus across any given plurality of modules, when those modules are serially interconnected in a daisy chain. In at least one embodiment, the mating connectors and the connector wiring are standardized across the system such that any module can be coupled to any other module, and the ordering of the modules in the daisy chain is not fixed.

In one or more embodiments, a vehicle safety system includes a processing unit configured for use in a vehicle. The processing unit includes or is associated with one or more vehicle sensors, such as object detection sensors, and one or more cameras. The processing unit processes vehicle sensor signals to detect vehicular events of interest, such as potentially hazardous operating conditions, and in response it selectively activates recording by one of one or more cameras mounted on the vehicle. For example, during lane changing or lane departure events, the processing unit may activate one or more cameras to capture a visual record of objects in the vehicle's vicinity, or may activate recording responsive to object detection, e.g., leading vehicle detection or front, back, side, top object proximities. Further, the processing unit may tailor recording control based on its particular operating mode, or in response to manual input.
