Automatic warning of atypical audio indicating a transport event

A system, comprising:

• a microphone array operatively coupled to a transport that receives a transport audio from another transport as the another transport is passing the transport;
• an audio classifier operatively coupled to the transport that discriminates atypical transport audio from typical transport audio;
• an audio beamformer operatively coupled to the transport that estimates an estimated source location of the atypical transport audio;
• a processor operatively coupled to the transport to determine a set of potential causes of the atypical transport audio;
• a transceiver operatively coupled to the transport that transmits the atypical transport audio, the possible source location and the set of potential causes to a server;
• and
• a server that determines a set of possible danger levels of the set of potential causes of the atypical transport audio.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:

• receiving, via a transport, a transport audio from another transport as the another transport is passing the transport, wherein the transport audio is received at a microphone array of the transport;
• classifying, via the transport, a subset of the transport audio as an atypical transport audio, wherein the classifying is performed by a transport audio classifier discriminating the atypical transport audio from typical transport audio;
• determining, via the transport, an estimated source location of the atypical transport audio based on an audio beamformer coupled to the transport;
• determining, via the transport, a set of potential causes of the atypical transport audio;
• and
• transmitting, via the transport, the atypical transport audio, the possible source location and the set of potential causes to a server;
• and
• determining, via the server, a set of possible danger levels of the set of potential causes of the atypical transport audio.
