Vehicle-based abnormal travel event detecting and reporting
First Claim
1. A travel reporter system for reporting abnormal travel events, the travel reporter system comprising:
- at least one electronic data sensor mounted on a vehicle and configured to obtain 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 configured to capture at least one image of the object; and
at least one computer comprising a memory and a processor in communication with the memory, the at least one computer further comprising;
an object recognition subsystem configured to identify the object type by processing at least the real-time data, wherein the object recognition subsystem comprises;
an object extraction module configured to identify a plurality of object features of the object by processing the at least one image;
an object representation module configured to generate an object feature group by combining the plurality of object features of the object; and
an object matching module configured to identify the object type by matching the object feature group to an object model associated with the object type;
an event evaluation subsystem configured to determine, by processing the at least the real-time data and the object type, that the object is associated with an abnormal travel event, the abnormal travel event having an event type; and
an event notification subsystem configured to select, by processing the event type, a first information consumer type of a plurality of information consumer types, and further configured to report the abnormal travel event to information consumers having the first information consumer type.

Abstract
A travel reporter system is used to report abnormal travel events. In use, a sensor mounted on a vehicle obtains real-time data about an object near the vehicle. The object has an object type which is identified by processing the real-time data with an object recognition subsystem of the travel reporter system. An event evaluation subsystem of the travel reporter system processes the real-time data and the object type in order to determine that the object is associated with an abnormal travel event. The abnormal travel event has an event type which is processed by an event notification subsystem of the travel reporter system in order to select a first information consumer type. The event notification subsystem reports the abnormal travel event to information consumers having the first information consumer type.

9. A computer program product for reporting abnormal travel events, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
-
obtaining, from 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, wherein the identifying the object type by processing the at least the real-time data comprises; identifying a plurality of object features of the object by processing the at least one image; generating an object feature group by combining the plurality of object features of the object; and identifying the object type by matching the object feature group to an object model associated with the object type; determining, by processing the at least the real-time data and the object type, that the object is associated with an abnormal travel event, the abnormal travel event having an event type; selecting, by processing the event type, a first information consumer type of a plurality of information consumer types; and reporting the abnormal travel event to information consumers having the first information consumer type. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
