1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, by a device, a first set of sensor data from one or more sensors associated with a first vehicle,the first set of sensor data comprising locational data of the first vehicle and at least one other parameter;

    comparing, by the device, the first set of sensor data with at least one threshold from a first set of thresholds;

    monitoring, by the device, a location associated with the locational data of the first vehicle for a first time period based on the first set of sensor data exceeding the at least one threshold from the first set of thresholds;

    receiving, by the device, a second set of sensor data associated with a second vehicle that passes within a predetermined distance of the location during the first time period;

    comparing, by the device, the second set of sensor data with at least one threshold from a second set of thresholds;

    incrementing, by the device, a counter based on the second set of sensor data exceeding the at least one threshold from the second set of thresholds;

    generating, by the device, at least one alert based on the counter exceeding a value,the value representing a number of vehicles that transmitted a set of sensor data, exceeding the at least one threshold from the second set of thresholds, within a predetermined time period;

    receiving, by the device, a third set of sensor data associated with a third vehicle,the third set of sensor data comprising locational data of the third vehicle; and

    transmitting, by the device, the at least one alert to a mobile device associated with the third vehicle based on the third set of sensor data.
