Smart vehicle-to-everything (V2X) preemptive connections for emergency and / or potential accident scenarios. A V2X-enabled vehicle may determine a current route of the vehicle and high-risk areas through which the vehicle may travel (e.g., a hospital zone, high pedestrian traffic area, etc.). The vehicle may determine a distance (d) from a beginning of the high-risk area and begin establishing a V2X connection upon reaching the determined distance. The V2X-enabled vehicle may also, or alternatively, pre-emptively establish a V2X connection upon detecting an event initiative of an emergency, a hazardous situation, or a potential emergency. Examples of such events may include a sharp turn, a vehicle speed exceeding a speed threshold, a sudden acceleration or declaration, etc. A preemptive V2X connection may, for example, enable vehicles to begin communicating with one another faster in case of a threat, emergency, or unsafe conditions for vehicles in the area.

A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for detecting crashes and unsafe conditions. Real-time data on vehicle movements and road users are captured. The captured real-time data is processed to detect and track vehicle and road user movements. Based on the processed real-time data, trajectories of the vehicle and road user movements are predicted. Such predicted trajectories are analyzed, where a risk assessment for each detected vehicle movement and road user movement is conducted based on such analysis. A potential crash or unsafe condition is then identified in response to the risk assessment for a detected vehicle movement or road user movement exceeding a threshold value. Upon identifying a potential crash or unsafe condition, a warning message or alert of an impending crash or unsafe condition is generated. Such a warning message or alert is transmitted to the drivers and / or vulnerable road users so as to prevent a collision.

Techniques are disclosed for an unsafe hot spot detection and reporting system to identify unsafe “hotspot” zones. The system functions to identify hotspot zones that are associated with an increased number of detected warnings regarding unsafe conditions, vehicle collisions, near misses, or other hazardous events. The hotspots are determined based upon historical data that may include safety-based warnings issued from vehicle with respect to in-vehicle monitoring data or other data sources. The system leverages the hotspot location information to identify a safety data model (SDM) rule and automatically adjust one or more safety data model (SDM) parameters of the SDM rule such as follow distance, speed settings, etc., and / or to route the vehicle to an alternate course to avoid an identified unsafe hotspot zone.
