SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING POTENTIAL ACCIDENT SITUATIONS WITH A CAR
First Claim
1. A method for detecting potential accident situations with a vehicle driven by a driver, said method comprising:
- collecting behaviour data of the vehicle by sensors located in the vehicle,obtaining a position of the vehicle,transmitting the behaviour data and the position of the vehicle to a control centre,selecting at least one traffic monitoring camera based on the position of the vehicle,acquiring images by said traffic monitoring camera, the images including the vehicle,transmitting the images to the control centre,analysing the behaviour data for detecting a driver'"'"'s abnormal condition,analysing the images for detecting an abnormal condition of the vehicle, andif the two analyses detect an abnormal condition, registering said vehicle in a probable accident list.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for detecting potential accident situations with a vehicle driven by a driver. In an embodiment, the method includes collecting behaviour data of the vehicle by sensors located in the vehicle; obtaining a position of the vehicle; transmitting the behaviour data and the position of the vehicle to a control centre; selecting at least one traffic monitoring camera based on the position of the vehicle; acquiring images by the traffic monitoring camera, the images including the vehicle; transmitting the images to the control centre; analysing the behaviour data for detecting a driver'"'"'s abnormal condition; analysing the images for detecting an abnormal condition of the vehicle; and if the two analyses detect an abnormal condition, registering the vehicle in a probable accident list.

-
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the detection of a driver'"'"'s abnormal condition is determined by the comparison with reference behaviour data of the vehicle established during a phase of initialization.
-
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the detection of an abnormal condition of the vehicle includes at least:
extracting, from a database, road requirements near the position of the vehicle, the abnormal condition of the vehicle being detected if the position of the vehicle does not meet the road requirements.
-
8. The method of claim 7, wherein a road requirement is the maximum speed at the position of the vehicle, said method including:
-
transmitting a current speed of the vehicle with the driver'"'"'s behaviour data, and comparing the current speed with the maximum speed, an abnormal condition being established if the current speed is higher than the maximum speed.
-
-
9. A system for detecting a potential accident situation of a vehicle driven by a driver, the system comprising:
-
traffic monitoring cameras, means for communication with at least one vehicle for receiving behaviour data of the vehicle captured by sensors, means for receiving a position of said vehicle, and a control centre, the control centre including means for selecting at least one monitoring camera based on the position of the vehicle and acquiring images of said camera for monitoring the traffic, the images including the vehicle, means for analysing the behaviour data to detect a driver'"'"'s abnormal condition, and for analysing the images to detect an abnormal condition of the vehicle, and means for registering, if the two analyses detect an abnormal condition, said vehicle in a probable accident list. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
