1. A method comprising:
- receiving sensor data related to an operation of a first vehicle;
receiving location data indicative of a location of the first vehicle;
identifying a variable distance threshold based on the operation of the first vehicle or the location of the first vehicle;
analyzing the sensor data to determine whether a near collision has occurred based on the variable distance threshold;
generating a warning message in response to the determination of the near collision after the near collision has occurred;
selecting a second vehicle, that is in proximity to the first vehicle at a time of the near collision, based on the location data for the first vehicle; and
sending the warning message to the second vehicle.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described for communicating the occurrence of incident near misses between vehicles. In one embodiment, for example, a controller receives sensor data related to an operation of a vehicle. The sensor data is analyzed to determine whether a near collision has occurred with respect to the vehicle. A warning message is generated and transmitted in response to the determination that a near collision occurred.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs;
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least;receive sensor data describing a maneuver of a vehicle; receive location data indicative of a geographic location of the vehicle; identify a variable distance threshold based on the operation of the vehicle or the location of the vehicle; analyze the sensor data, using the variable distance threshold, to determine whether a near miss has occurred with respect to the vehicle and an obstacle; generate a warning message in response to the near miss; select a mobile device that is in proximity to the vehicle at a time of the near miss based on the location data for the vehicle; and send the warning message to the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that when executed are operable to:
-
receive sensor data related to an operation of a vehicle; identify a variable distance threshold based on the operation of the vehicle or a location of the vehicle; analyze the sensor data, using the variable distance threshold, to determine whether a near miss has occurred with respect to the vehicle; generate a warning message in response to the determination that a near miss has occurred; and transmit the warning message to the at least one nearby vehicle or device therein within a predetermined distance of the near miss. - View Dependent Claims (19)
