Abstract:
One or more driving analysis computing devices in a driving analysis system may be configured to analyze driving data, determine driving behaviors, and determine whether a collision is imminent or has occurred using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. Determination of whether a collision has occurred may be based on X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis positional data from two vehicles. Driving data from multiple vehicles may be collected by vehicle sensors or other vehicle-based systems, transmitted using V2V communications, and then analyzed and compared to determine various driving behaviors by the drivers of the vehicles.
