Advanced warning system
First Claim
1. A method of providing an advanced warning to a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving, at a network device, one or more parameters from a first mobile computing platform (MCP) associated with a first vehicle;
determining, at the network device, a traffic condition based on the one or more parameters;
assigning, to the traffic condition, a confidence factor identifying a level of confidence that the network device has that the traffic condition is a hazardous condition;
identifying a second MCP associated with a second vehicle within a proximity threshold to the first vehicle; and
transmitting a warning notification to the second MCP based on the confidence factor, wherein the warning notification includes information regarding the traffic condition.

Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to one or more systems, methods, and/or devices for an advanced warning system that alerts drivers of potential upcoming traffic conditions (e.g., accidents or traffic slowdowns) based on active monitoring of vehicle parameters (e.g., speed, braking, air bag deployment, etc.) associated with other vehicles traveling ahead in the same direction. Thus, in some aspects, the advanced warning system may receive, at a network device (e.g., network management center (NMC)), one or more parameters from a first mobile computing platform (MCP) associated with a first vehicle and determine, at the network device, whether a traffic condition has developed on a stretch of highway based on the one or more parameters.

14. An apparatus for providing an advanced warning to a vehicle, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory includes instructions executable by the processor to; receive, at a network device, one or more parameters from a first mobile computing platform (MCP) associated with a first vehicle; determine, at the network device, a traffic condition base on the one or more parameters; assign, to the traffic condition, a confidence factor identifying a level of confidence that the network device has that the traffic condition is a hazardous condition; identify a second MCP associated with a second vehicle and transmit a warning notification to the second MCP based on the confidence factor, wherein the warning notification includes information regarding the traffic condition. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 20)
