Technology for real-time detection and mitigation of remote vehicle anomalous behavior
First Claim
1. A method for detecting and mitigating anomalous behavior of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- monitoring, using data collected by a set of sensors associated with a first vehicle operated by a first driver, an environment in which the first vehicle is operating, the environment in which the first vehicle is operating being a vehicle environment;
determining, using one or more processors associated with the first vehicle and based upon sensor data generated by the set of sensors, a set of characteristics indicative of one or more behaviors of a remote vehicle operating within the vehicle environment;
accessing, using the one or more processors, a set of anomalous vehicle behavior characteristics determined based upon a set of historical vehicle behavior data, the set of historical vehicle behavior data based upon data obtained by a plurality of sensors while a plurality of drivers operated a plurality of vehicles;
comparing, using the one or more processors, the set of characteristics indicative of the one or more behaviors of the remote vehicle with the set of anomalous vehicle behavior characteristics;
determining, using the one or more processors and based upon the comparing, that the remote vehicle is exhibiting an anomalous behavior;
mitigating an effect of the anomalous behavior of the remote vehicle, including communicating an indication of the detected, anomalous behavior of the remote vehicle to an electronic device associated with a second vehicle operating in the vehicle environment, the second vehicle being distinct from the remote vehicle, andproviding an indication of the detected, anomalous behavior of the remote vehicle for presentation via a user interface disposed in the second vehicle.

Abstract
Systems and methods for real-time detection and mitigation anomalous behavior of a remote vehicle are provided, e.g., vehicle behavior that is consistent with distracted or unexpectedly disabled driving. On-board and off-board sensors associated with a subject vehicle may monitor the subject vehicle'"'"'s environment, and behavior characteristics of a remote vehicle operating within the subject vehicle'"'"'s environment may be determined based upon collected sensor data. The remote vehicle'"'"'s behavior characteristics may be utilized to detect or determine the presence of anomalous behavior, which may be anomalous for the current contextual conditions of the vehicles'"'"' environment. Mitigating actions for detected remote vehicle anomalous behaviors may be suggested and/or automatically implemented at the subject vehicle and/or at proximate vehicles to avoid or reduce the risk of accidents, injury, or death resulting from the anomalous behavior. In some situations, authorities may be notified.
