Embodiment Construction

[0035] figure 1 An example method 100 is shown, which may be a computer-implemented method. The method may be a method for assigning a risk level to a location where the vehicle has been parked, is being parked or is about to be parked. Thus, the method may be a method of assessing parking risk.

[0036] The method includes determining (eg, by a processor) the location of the vehicle at step 102 . This may include determining the vehicle's current location, and thus may utilize a Global Positioning System (GPS), such as that already provided in the vehicle. At step 104, the method includes accessing (eg, by the processor) a database. The database includes crime-related data. Crime-related data may include crime-related statistics. In other words, at least one entry in the database may include an indication of being at a specific location (which may be a precise location such as a house number or street, or in some examples an area such as a town or borough) Information o...

Abstract

A method includes determining a location of a vehicle, accessing a database including crime-related data, and specifying a risk level for the location of the vehicle if the database includes crime-related data associated with the determined location of the vehicle. The method includes determining a parked state of the vehicle, the parked state being one of parked, being parked, about to be parked, or being driven. In the event that the parked state of the vehicle is one of parked, being parked, or about to be parked and the specified risk level is above a risk threshold, the method includes triggering a vehicle safety mechanism.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for determining the position of a vehicle and assessing the risk level of parking the vehicle at this position if the vehicle is parked, is in progress or is about to initiate a parking maneuver. Background technique [0002] When a driver visits an area for the first time, it can be difficult to fully understand the safety of the area. Contents of the invention [0003] The examples herein relate to a method comprising the steps of determining (eg, by a controller or processor) the location of a vehicle, accessing a database including crime-related data, and if the database includes associated crime-related data, the method includes the steps of: assigning a risk level to the location of the vehicle, and determining (e.g., by a controller or processor) the parking status of the vehicle, the parking status being parked, parking , one of which is about to park or is driving. If the parked state of the vehicle is one...
