Abstract
A computer system is provided and is programmed to: (1) receive sensor data associated with a primary vehicle; (2) determine a current condition of a driver of the primary vehicle based upon the sensor data of the primary vehicle; (3) determine a threat level for the primary vehicle based upon the current condition of the driver of the primary vehicle and the sensor data of the primary vehicle; (4) activate at least one action in the primary vehicle based upon the threat level for the primary vehicle; and/or (5) electronically transmit the threat level of the primary vehicle to one or more additional vehicles.
Claims20
A computer system comprising at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to:
- receive sensor data associated with a primary vehicle;
- determine a current condition of a driver of the primary vehicle based upon the sensor data of the primary vehicle;
- determine a threat level for the primary vehicle based upon the current condition of the driver of the primary vehicle and the sensor data of the primary vehicle;
- activate at least one action in the primary vehicle based upon the threat level for the primary vehicle;
- and
- electronically transmit the threat level of the primary vehicle to one or more additional vehicles.
A computer-based method implemented on a computer device including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, the method comprising:
- receiving sensor data associated with a primary vehicle;
- determining a current condition of a driver of the primary vehicle based upon the sensor data of the primary vehicle and the sensor data of the primary vehicle;
- determining a threat level for the primary vehicle based upon the current condition of the driver of the primary vehicle;
- activating at least one action in the primary vehicle based upon the threat level for the primary vehicle;
- and
- electronically transmitting the threat level of the primary vehicle to one or more additional vehicles.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by a processor coupled to at least memory device, the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to:
- receive sensor data associated with a primary vehicle;
- determine a current condition of a driver of the primary vehicle based upon the sensor data of the primary vehicle;
- determine a threat level for the primary vehicle based upon the current condition of the driver of the primary vehicle and the sensor data of the primary vehicle;
- activate at least one action in the primary vehicle based upon the threat level for the primary vehicle;
- and
- electronically transmit the threat level of the primary vehicle to one or more additional vehicles.
