Abstract
Systems and methods of unsafe driving detection are provided which share partial unsafe driving behavior analyses with others in order to ensure that unsafe driving behavior is detected as early as possible. For example, in response to an event which interrupts a first detecting vehicle from collecting additional driving behavior data associated with a subject vehicle, the first detecting vehicle may transfer driving behavior data it has already collected and processed, to another detecting entity (e.g., a second detecting vehicle) in observable range of the subject vehicle.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- collecting, by a first detecting vehicle, driving behavior data associated with a subject vehicle;
- processing, by the first detecting vehicle, the collected driving behavior data to determine whether the subject vehicle is driving unsafely;
- and
- in response to a second detecting vehicle merging in between the first detecting vehicle and the subject vehicle, transferring, by the first detecting vehicle, the processed driving behavior data to the second detecting vehicle.
A detecting vehicle comprising:
- one or more processers including machine executable instructions in non-transitory memory to cause the detecting vehicle to:
- collect driving behavior data associated with a subject vehicle;
- process the collected driving behavior data to determine whether the subject vehicle is driving unsafely;
- and
- in response to a second detecting vehicle merging in between the detecting vehicle and the subject vehicle, transfer the processed driving behavior data to the second detecting vehicle.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- collecting, by a first detecting vehicle, driving behavior data associated with a subject vehicle;
- processing, by the first detecting vehicle, the collected driving behavior data to determine whether the subject vehicle is driving unsafely;
- determining, by the first detecting vehicle, that a second detecting vehicle intends to merge in between the first detecting vehicle and the subject vehicle;
- before the second detecting vehicle merges in between the first detecting vehicle and the subject vehicle, notifying, by the first detecting vehicle, the second detecting vehicle that the first detecting vehicle intends to transfer the processed driving behavior data to the second detecting vehicle;
- and
- in response to the second detecting vehicle merging in between the first detecting vehicle and the subject vehicle, transferring, by the first detecting vehicle, the processed driving behavior data to the second detecting vehicle.
