Alert notifications utilizing broadcasted telematics data

A non-transitory, tangible computer-readable medium storing machine readable instructions for generating alerts that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive first and second geographic location data indicative of a geographic location of a first and a second vehicle, respectively, via wireless communication or data transmission;
• receive first and second telematics data indicative of a motion of the first and the second vehicle, respectively, via wireless communication or data transmission;
• determine whether an anomalous condition is present at the geographic location of the first vehicle based upon the first telematics data;
• calculate a geographic relationship between the first vehicle and the second vehicle based upon the first and the second geographic location data;
• and
• transmit or send an alert indicative of the anomalous condition to a computing device associated with the second vehicle via wireless communication or data transmission, when (i) the one or more processors determine that the anomalous condition is present at the geographic location of the first vehicle, and (ii) the geographic relationship between the first and second vehicles satisfies a threshold distance condition to facilitate warning drivers of the anomalous condition and reducing a risk of the second vehicle experiencing a physical vehicle collision that could be caused by the anomalous condition.

A first mobile computing device located within a first vehicle, comprising:

• a communication unit configured to receive, via wireless communication or data transmission:
• (i) telematics data from a second mobile computing device indicative of a motion of a second vehicle in which the second mobile computing device is located, and (ii) geographic location data indicative of a location of the second vehicle;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• determine whether an anomalous condition is present at the geographic location of the second vehicle based upon the geographic location data;
• determine a geographic location of the first mobile computing device;
• calculate a geographic relationship between the first vehicle and the second vehicle based upon the geographic location data and the geographic location of the first mobile computing device;
• and
• generate an alert indicative of the anomalous condition when (i) the processor determines that the anomalous condition is present at the geographic location of the second vehicle, and (ii) the geographic relationship between the first and second vehicles satisfies a threshold distance condition to facilitate warning drivers of the anomalous condition and to reduce a risk of the first vehicle experiencing a physical vehicle collision that could be caused by the anomalous condition.
