Vehicle hazard detection and warning system

A method comprising:

• receiving, from one or more input sensors, input information related to a vehicle, the input information including at least a location information;
• determining, based at least in part on the received input information, a hazard that the vehicle is projected to encounter, the hazard identified by a second vehicle traveling ahead of the vehicle using one or more sensors of the second vehicle;
• identifying one or more risks associated with the at least one hazard;
• identifying one or more driver-specific factors associated with a driving tendency of the driver of the vehicle;
• determining, based at least in part on the one or more driver-specific factors associated with the driver of the vehicle in combination with the one or more risks, a plurality of actions to be taken by the vehicle to mitigate a risk associated with the hazard, the plurality of actions including:
• a first action to provide a notification to a driver of the vehicle;
• and
• a second action to increase a brake sensitivity of the vehicle in accordance with the one or more driver-specific factors;
• and
• providing, instructions to execute the plurality of actions to the vehicle, such that the instructions cause the vehicle to execute the first action at a first predetermined distance from the hazard and to execute the second actions at a second predetermined distance from the hazard.

A vehicle system, comprising:

• a processor device;
• and
• a memory including instructions that, when executed with the processor device, cause the system to, at least:
• receive an indication of a location associated with a vehicle;
• identify, based at least in part on the received indication, at least one hazard within a vicinity of the vehicle, the at least one hazard identified by a second vehicle traveling ahead of the vehicle using one or more sensors of the second vehicle;
• identify one or more risks associated with the at least one hazard;
• identify one or more driver-specific factors associated with a driving tendency of the driver of the vehicle;
• determine, based on the one or more driver-specific factors associated with the driver of the vehicle in combination with the one or more risks, a set of safety protocols calculated to mitigate the hazard, the set of safety protocols including:
• a first protocol that includes instructions to provide a notification to a driver of the vehicle;
• and
• a second protocol that includes instructions to cause a sensitivity of the braking system to increase in accordance with the one or more driver-specific factors;
• and
• provide the set of safety protocols to the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is configured to execute the first protocol upon reaching a first predetermined distance from the hazard and to execute the second protocol upon reaching a second predetermined distance from the hazard.
