Systems and methods for environmental analysis based upon vehicle sensor data

A computer-based method for detecting a vehicular crash, the method implemented on a computing device associated with a vehicle and including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, the method comprising:

• receiving external sensor data from at least one external sensor associated with the vehicle, wherein the at least one external sensor detects one or more objects surrounding the vehicle;
• determining that a vehicular crash not involving the vehicle is imminent based upon the external sensor data;
• generating a scenario model of the vehicular crash based upon the external sensor data;
• and
• transmitting the scenario model and the external sensor data of the vehicular crash.

A computer system for analyzing the environment of a vehicle, the computer system including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, the at least one processor is programmed to:

• receive a plurality of sensor data from a plurality of sensors associated with a plurality of vehicles, wherein the plurality of sensor data includes location data from a Global Positioning System (GPS), wherein the plurality of sensor data includes a vehicular crash at a location, wherein each sensor of the plurality of sensors receives the plurality of sensor data while the corresponding vehicle travels past the location at a plurality of separate points in time;
• analyze the plurality of sensor data to generate a scenario model of the vehicular crash based upon the plurality of sensor data from the plurality of sensors;
• and
• automatically generate and transmit a notification to one or more computer systems including the scenario model and the plurality of sensor data of the vehicular crash.
