1. A monitoring system comprising:
- one or more sensors;
one or more processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the monitoring system to;
monitor, using the one or more sensors, conditions external to a vehicle while the vehicle is in operation by a driver;
detect, while monitoring the conditions external to the vehicle, that the vehicle is stopped at a crosswalk;
based on data from the one or more sensors, detect one or more people in the crosswalk;
while the one or more people are in the crosswalk, monitor the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is in motion;
in response to determining that the vehicle is in motion while the one or more people are in the crosswalk, transmit a signal corresponding to an alert to an output device;
record, in the memory, alert data indicative of a number of times the driver is alerted; and
periodically transmit the alert data to a central repository.

Abstract
A monitoring system can monitor, using one or more sensors, conditions external to a vehicle and detect that the vehicle is stopped at a crosswalk. The system detects one or more people in the crosswalk, the system can monitor the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is in motion while the one or more people are in the crosswalk. Based, at least in part, on determining that the vehicle is in motion while the one or more people are in the crosswalk, the system can transmit a signal corresponding to an alert to an output device.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a monitoring system, cause the monitoring system to:
-
monitor, using one or more sensors, conditions external to a vehicle while the vehicle is in operation by a driver; detect, while monitoring the conditions external to the vehicle, that the vehicle is stopped at a crosswalk; based on data from the one or more sensors, detect one or more people in the crosswalk; while the one or more people are in the crosswalk, monitor the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is in motion; in response to determining that the vehicle is in motion while the one or more people are in the crosswalk, transmit a signal corresponding to an alert to an output device; record, in a memory of the monitoring system, alert data indicative of a number of times the driver is alerted; and periodically transmit the alert data to a central repository. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-implemented method of implementing a monitoring system of a vehicle, the method being performed by one or more processors and comprising:
-
monitoring, using one or more sensors, conditions external to the vehicle while the vehicle is in operation by a driver; detecting, while monitoring the conditions external to the vehicle, that the vehicle is stopped at a crosswalk; based on data from the one or more sensors, detecting one or more people in the crosswalk; while the one or more people are in the crosswalk, monitoring the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is in motion; in response to determining that the vehicle is in motion while the one or more people are in the crosswalk, transmitting a signal corresponding to an alert to an output device; record, in a memory of the monitoring system, alert data indicative of a number of times the driver is alerted; and periodically transmit the alert data to a central repository.
