Vehicle Control Systems
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a vehicle control computer installed in a vehicle, vehicle property data corresponding to the vehicle;
receiving, by the vehicle control computer, ancillary data associated with surroundings of the vehicle;
receiving, by the vehicle control computer, historical data corresponding to the received vehicle property data and the received ancillary data;
calculating, by the vehicle control computer and based on the historical data, a risk score for the received vehicle property data and the received ancillary data, wherein the historical data includes at least historical vehicle operations data and historical ancillary data associated with insurance claims data and accident reports data, and wherein the historical ancillary data includes data associated with surroundings of a vehicle corresponding to the insurance claims data and accident reports data; and
performing, based on the calculated risk score for the received vehicle property data and the received ancillary data, at least one of a close call detection action and a close call detection alert, wherein the at least one of the close call detection action and the close call detection alert are performed to reduce the risk score for one of the received vehicle property data and the received ancillary data.

Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for the utilization of vehicle control systems to cause a vehicle to take preventative action responsive to the detection of a near short term adverse driving scenario. A vehicle control system may receive information corresponding to vehicle operator data and ancillary data. Based on the received vehicle operator data and the received ancillary data, a multi-dimension risk score module may calculate risk scores associated with the received vehicle operator data and the received ancillary data. Subsequently, the vehicle control systems may cause the vehicle to perform at least one of a close call detection action and a close call detection alert to lessen the risk associated with the received vehicle operator data and the received ancillary data.

15. An apparatus installed in a vehicle comprising:
-
a processor; and memory storing at least first and second computer readable instructions, wherein the first computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to; receive, by the apparatus, vehicle property data corresponding to a vehicle; receive, by the apparatus, ancillary data associated with surroundings of the vehicle; receive, by the apparatus, historical data corresponding to the received vehicle property data and the received ancillary data; calculate, by the apparatus and based on the historical data, a risk score for the received vehicle property data and the received ancillary data, wherein the historical data includes at least historical vehicle operations data and historical ancillary data associated with insurance claims data and accident reports data, and wherein the historical ancillary data includes data associated with surroundings of a vehicle corresponding to the insurance claims data and accident reports data; populate a near short term logical table with the calculated risk score for the received vehicle property data and the received ancillary data; and configure the second computer readable instructions with the near short term logical table, wherein the second computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to; perform at least one of a close call detection action and a close call detection alert, wherein the at least one of the close call detection action and the close call detection alert are performed to reduce the risk score for one of the received vehicle property data and the received ancillary data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 18, 20, 23, 26)
