Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for the utilization of vehicle control systems to cause a vehicle to take preventative action responsive to the detection of a near short term adverse driving scenario. A vehicle control system may receive information corresponding to vehicle operation data and ancillary data. Based on the received vehicle operation data and the received ancillary data, a multi-dimension risk score module may calculate risk scores associated with the received vehicle operation data and the received ancillary data. Subsequently, the vehicle control systems may cause the vehicle to perform at least one of a close call detection action and a close call detection alert to lessen the risk associated with the received vehicle operation data and the received ancillary data.
Claims1
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, a current autonomy level of a vehicle;
- receiving vehicle property data corresponding to the vehicle and ancillary data associated with surroundings of the vehicle;
- receiving historical data corresponding to the current autonomy level of the vehicle;
- calculating, based on the historical data corresponding to the current autonomy level of the vehicle, one or more risk scores for the vehicle property data and the ancillary data;
- causing, based on the one or more risk scores, a close call detection action to alter the current autonomy level of the vehicle from a first level to a second level, wherein the second level is associated with a lower risk level than the first level;
- and
- causing, based on the close call detection action to alter the current autonomy level, a close call detection alert to be performed.
