Abstract

A method is disclosed for detecting potential accident situations with a vehicle driven by a driver. In an embodiment, the method includes collecting behaviour data of the vehicle by sensors located in the vehicle; obtaining a position of the vehicle; transmitting the behaviour data and the position of the vehicle to a control centre; selecting at least one traffic monitoring camera based on the position of the vehicle; acquiring images by the traffic monitoring camera, the images including the vehicle; transmitting the images to the control centre; analysing the behaviour data for detecting a driver's abnormal condition; analysing the images for detecting an abnormal condition of the vehicle; and if the two analyses detect an abnormal condition, registering the vehicle in a probable accident list.
