1. A vehicle-implemented method for using a travel reporter system to report abnormal travel events, the method comprising:

  • obtaining, using at least one electronic data sensor mounted on a vehicle, real-time data about an object located within a predetermined distance of the vehicle, the object having an object type, wherein the at least one electronic data sensor includes a camera, and wherein the obtaining the real-time data about the object includes capturing at least one image of the object with the camera;

    identifying the object type by processing at least the real-time data with an object recognition subsystem of the travel reporter system, wherein the identifying the object type by processing the at least the real-time data with the object recognition subsystem comprises;

    identifying a plurality of object features of the object by processing the at least one image with an object extraction module of the object recognition subsystem;

    generating an object feature group by combining the plurality of object features of the object using an object representation module of the object recognition subsystem; and

    identifying the object type by matching the object feature group to an object model associated with the object type using an object matching module of the object recognition subsystem;

    determining, by processing the at least the real-time data and the object type with an event evaluation subsystem of the travel reporter system, that the object is associated with an abnormal travel event, the abnormal travel event having an event type;

    selecting, by processing the event type with an event notification subsystem of the travel reporter system, a first information consumer type of a plurality of information consumer types; and

    reporting, with the event notification subsystem of the travel reporter system, the abnormal travel event to information consumers having the first information consumer type.
