Rapid approach detector
First Claim
1. A system, comprising a computer in a vehicle, the computer comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the computer is configured to:
- receive one or more data collector inputs;
detect an object proximate to the vehicle based on the one or more data collector inputs;
determine a closure speed between the object and the vehicle;
determine a change in speed of the object;
compute an accountability factor based at least in part on the closure speed and the change in speed of the object; and
determine whether to identify a potential incident based at least in part on the accountability factor and an incident value that is a function of at least one of the closure speed and a distance between the vehicle and the object.

Abstract
A computer in a vehicle is configured to receive one or more data collector inputs, detect an object proximate to the vehicle based on the one or more inputs, determine a closure speed between the object and the vehicle, determine a change in speed of the object, compute an accountability factor; and determine whether to identify a potential incident based at least in part on the accountability factor and an incident value. The incident value is a function of at least one of the closure speed and a distance between the vehicle and the object. The accountability factor is based at least in part on the closure speed and the change in speed of the object.

19. A system, comprising a computer comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the computer is configured to:
-
receive, via network, from a remote in-vehicle computer, a driver score based on an accountability factor and a value assigned to a potential incident; send the driver score to a third computer via the network; receive, from the third computer, information based on the driver score; and send transmit, via the network, a message to the in-vehicle computer based on the information based on the driver score; wherein; the accountability factor is based at least in part on a closure speed between the vehicle and an object and a change in speed of the object; and the value assigned to the potential incident based at least in part on the accountability factor and an incident value that is a function of at least one of the closure speed and a distance between the vehicle and the object. - View Dependent Claims (20)
