METHOD FOR ADAPTING RESPONSES OF AN ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

A method for adapting a response of an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) equipped vehicle includes collecting telemetry data. The telemetry data includes crash events and near-crash events relative to a map. The method further includes collecting environmental data and performing an analysis of the telemetry data relative to the environmental data to determine crash risk factors. The crash risk factors correlate to an increased crash risk. The method further includes determining areas of increased crash risk based on the crash risk factors. The method further includes determining the location of the ADAS equipped vehicle relative to the map and collecting vehicle data from one or more sensors. The method further includes calculating an increased risk of vehicle crash index (IRVCI) based on the ADAS equipped vehicle's location and the vehicle data collected. The method further includes adapting the response of the ADAS equipped vehicle based on the IRVCI.
