The present disclosure involves systems, software, sensors, and applied solutions for detecting incidents associated with a vehicle, where sensors associated with the vehicle identify impacts or proximity alerts to other vehicles and objects and record information related to those detected incidents. The recorded information can be immediately communicated to interested parties of the person or entity (e.g., emergency responders, business contacts) associated with the vehicle, or alternatively, stored for inspection at the vehicle and reviewed at a destination along the vehicle's route. In one example method, operations include detecting an incident associated with a monitored vehicle, where detecting the incident comprises receiving an alert from at least one sensor associated with the vehicle, identifying a location of the vehicle in response to the detection, and storing a record of the detected incident, where the record includes the identified location of the vehicle and a time associated with the detected incident.
