ANALYTICS AND RISK ASSESSMENT FOR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

Abstract:

A method for performing an action based on risk assessment includes identifying a subject vehicle in a vicinity of a traveling vehicle, wherein the vicinity is based on a direction of travel and a distance between the subject vehicle and the traveling vehicle. The method receives a plurality of observations from a device on the traveling vehicle, where the plurality of observations includes at least one vehicle observation that identifies a feature on the subject vehicle that affects operational safety of the subject vehicle and the traveling vehicle. The method generates an updated risk assessment score for the subject vehicle based on the one or more observations and an initial risk assessment score for the subject vehicle. The method, responsive to determining an action for the traveling vehicle to perform based on the updated risk assessment score for the subject vehicle, performs the action at the traveling vehicle.
