Methods and systems for providing alerts to a driver of a vehicle via condition detection and wireless communications

Abstract:

A monitoring system can monitor, using one or more sensors, conditions external to a vehicle and detect that the vehicle is stopped at a crosswalk. The system detects one or more people in the crosswalk, the system can monitor the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is in motion while the one or more people are in the crosswalk. Based, at least in part, on determining that the vehicle is in motion while the one or more people are in the crosswalk, the system can transmit a signal corresponding to an alert to an output device.
