Vehicular warnings based upon pedestrian or cyclist presence

A computer system for providing alerts, comprising:

• one or more sensors associated with a vehicle;
• one or more processors associated with the vehicle and communicatively connected to the one or more sensors;
• an output device within the vehicle and communicatively connected to the one or more processors;
• a program memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer system to:
• receive, using the one or more sensors, sensor data defining an electronic vehicle environment, the electronic vehicle environment indicating an electronic vehicle location within the electronic vehicle environment;
• identify within the electronic vehicle environment one or more electronic pedestrian or cyclist locations associated with one or more pedestrians or cyclists, the electronic pedestrian or cyclist locations determined from corresponding one or more mobile computing devices associated with the one or more pedestrians or cyclists, wherein the one or more mobile computing devices transmit the sensor data to the one or more processors to define the electronic vehicle environment;
• determine at least one of the one or more pedestrians or cyclists meets predetermined alert criteria based upon the electronic vehicle location and the one or more electronic pedestrian or cyclist locations;
• generate an alert indicating a presence of the at least one of the one or more pedestrians or cyclists;
• and
• present the alert to a display screen of the output device.

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for providing alerts that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• receive, using one or more sensors, sensor data defining an electronic vehicle environment, the electronic vehicle environment indicating an electronic vehicle location within the electronic vehicle environment;
• identify within the electronic vehicle environment one or more electronic pedestrian or cyclist locations associated with one or more pedestrians or cyclists, the electronic pedestrian or cyclist locations determined from corresponding one or more mobile computing devices associated with the one or more pedestrians or cyclists, wherein the one or more mobile computing devices transmit the sensor data to the one or more processors to define the electronic vehicle environment;
• determine at least one of the one or more pedestrians or cyclists meets predetermined alert criteria based upon the electronic vehicle location and the one or more electronic pedestrian or cyclist locations;
• generate an alert indicating a presence of the at least one of the one or more pedestrians or cyclists;
• and
• present the alert to a display screen of an output device within the vehicle.
