## Abstract

An example operation includes one or more of establishing geolocation boundaries based on decibels associated with an impact involving one or more transports, transmitting, by a communication device, multimedia content related to the impact to one or more other communication devices within the geolocation boundaries, and receiving, by the one or more other communication devices, the multimedia content.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method, comprising:
establishing, at a location of a transport impact, a geolocation boundary around the location comprising a plurality of boundaries defined by one or more distances based on detected sound decibel levels of the transport impact; and
transmitting, by a communication device, a multimedia content captured from a number of other transports in proximity to the location, the multimedia content comprising one or more sounds and one or more videos associated with the transport impact, to one or more other communication devices within the established geolocation boundary.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the communication device is associated with the one or more transports, and a passenger of the one or more transports.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1,
wherein in response to the one or more other communication devices receiving the multimedia content, the method further comprising:
synchronizing the one or more sounds with the one or more videos.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the multimedia content comprises one or more of an audio file, a video file, a text file, an image file, transport telemetry, environmental data, traffic data, and sensor data.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the multimedia content further comprises a direction for each of the sounds.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprising:
transmitting, by the one or more other communication devices, the multimedia content to a cloud server; and
storing, by the cloud server, the multimedia content to cloud storage.

### Claim 7

A transport, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory, coupled to the processor, comprising instructions that when executed by the processor are configured to:
establish, at a location of a transport impact, a geolocation boundary around the location comprising a plurality of boundaries defined by one or more distances based on detected sound decibel levels of the transport impact; and
transmit, by a communication device, multimedia content captured from a number of other transports in proximity to the location, the multimedia content comprising one or more sounds and one or more videos associated with the transport impact to one or more other communication devices within the established geolocation boundary.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The transport of claim 7, wherein the communication device is associated with the one or more transports, and a passenger of the one or more transports.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The transport of claim 7, wherein in response to the one or more other communication devices having received the multimedia content, the one or more other communication devices synchronize the one or more sounds with the one or more videos.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The transport of claim 7, wherein the multimedia content comprises one or more of an audio file, a video file, a text file, an image file, transport telemetry, environmental data, traffic data, and sensor data.

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The transport of claim 7, wherein the multimedia content further comprises direction for each of the sounds.

### Claim 12 (depends on 7)

The transport of claim 7, wherein the one or more other communication devices are configured to transmit the multimedia content to a cloud server and in response the cloud server stores the multimedia content to cloud storage.

### Claim 13

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
establishing, at a location of a transport impact, a geolocation boundary around the location comprising a plurality of boundaries defined by one or more distances based on detected sound decibel levels of the transport impact; and
transmitting, by a communication device, a multimedia content captured from a number of other transports in proximity to the location, the multimedia content comprising one or more sounds and one or more videos associated with the transport impact, to one or more other communication devices within the established geolocation boundary.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the communication device is associated with one or more of the transports, and a passenger of the one or more transports.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:
synchronizing the one or more sounds with the one or more videos, in response to the one or more other communication devices receiving the multimedia content.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the multimedia content further comprises a direction for each of the sounds.

### Claim 17 (depends on 13)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to:
transmitting the multimedia ent to a cloud server; and
storing, by the cloud server, the multimedia content to cloud storage.
