System and method for malfunction notification for a vehicle

A notification method implemented by a notification system, the method being configured so as to signal to a user a malfunction liable to affect the user's vehicle during a driving phase, said method comprising:

• a monitoring step configured so as to generate route datasets relating to a driving route of a vehicle of each user of the notification system;
• a malfunction signaling step configured so as to generate signaling datasets comprising information about another user's vehicle relating to a malfunction with said another user's vehicle as observed by a user-observer different from the user of the another user's vehicle;
• an analysis step configured so as to identify which vehicle is the another user's vehicle, on the basis of the route datasets and the signaling datasets;
• and
• a notification step configured so as to generate a notification message intended for the user of the another user's vehicle,
• wherein:
• the signaling datasets are used to estimate a signaling route taken by the user-observer, and
• the analysis step compares a plurality of driving routes respectively taken by a plurality of users with a plurality of signaling routes relating to a plurality of user-observers, so as to determine whether, among the driving routes, there is a selected driving route that corresponds to one or more signaling routes each lasting for a time period contained within the time period of the selected driving route;
• the vehicle of the user relating to the selected driving route being identified as the another user's vehicle.
