Abstract
A system and method for the real-time identification of hazardous locations in road traffic includes a back end and at least one vehicle. Each vehicle includes a sensor unit that collects state data about the occupants of the vehicle. A computing unit processes the collected state data to determine a potential hazard based on the processed state data. An interaction unit interacts with the vehicle occupants in the case of an identified potential hazard, and identifies a hazardous location in road traffic, based on the interaction with the vehicle occupants. A communication unit transmits the identified hazardous location to the back end.
Claims8
A system for the real-time identification of hazardous locations in road traffic, comprising:
- a back end;
- at least one vehicle, comprising:
- a sensor unit configured to collect state data about the occupants of the vehicle;
- a computing unit configured to:
- process the collected state data, and determine a potential hazard from the processed state data;
- and
- an interaction unit configured to:
- interact with the vehicle occupants in the case of an identified potential hazard, and identify a hazardous location in road traffic by means of the interaction with the vehicle occupants;
- and
- a communication unit configured to transmit the identified hazardous location to the back end.
