Detecting an unusual operation of a vehicle outside of a time fence and notifying neighboring vehicles

A method comprising:

• obtaining a current time and a time fence indicating a daily time period;
• determining whether the current time is within the time fence;
• upon determining that the current time is within the time fence, operating a battery associated with a monitoring unit in a high-power mode,
• wherein the monitoring unit is configured to be coupled with a vehicle,
• wherein the high-power mode is configured to enable a communication indicating a location associated with the vehicle;
• upon determining that the current time is outside the time fence, operating the battery associated with the monitoring unit in a low-power mode,
• wherein the low-power mode is configured to conserve battery life;
• when the battery associated with the monitoring unit is in the low-power mode, detecting an unusual operation associated with the vehicle,
• wherein the unusual operation includes a movement associated with the vehicle occurring outside of the time fence;
• and
• upon detecting the unusual operation associated with the vehicle when the battery associated with the monitoring unit is in the low-power mode, sending an indication to multiple monitoring units coupled to multiple vehicles within a predetermined area to send a notification indicating the unusual operation.

A system comprising:

• at least one hardware processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the system to:
• obtain a current time and a time fence indicating a daily time period;
• determine whether the current time is within the time fence;
• upon determining that the current time is within the time fence, operate a battery associated with a monitoring unit in a high-power mode,
• wherein the monitoring unit is configured to be coupled with a vehicle,
• wherein the high-power mode is configured to enable a communication indicating a location associated with the vehicle;
• upon determining that the current time is outside the time fence, operate the battery associated with the monitoring unit in a low-power mode, wherein the low-power mode is configured to conserve battery life;
• when the battery associated with the monitoring unit is in the low-power mode, detect an unusual operation associated with the vehicle,
• wherein the unusual operation includes a movement associated with the vehicle occurring outside of the time fence;
• and
• upon detecting the unusual operation associated with the vehicle when the battery associated with the monitoring unit is in the low-power mode, send an indication to multiple monitoring units coupled to multiple vehicles within a predetermined area to send a notification indicating the unusual operation.
