SAFETY SYSTEM CONFIGURED TO DETERMINE WHEN A VEHICLE HAS MADE AN UNWANTED STOP

A method for monitoring a vehicle includes determining that the vehicle is stopped and determining a location where the vehicle is stopped. Traffic congestion corresponding to the location where the vehicle is stopped may also be determined. A safety action may be taken based at least in part on whether the vehicle is stopped on a highway and whether the traffic congestion is causing the vehicle to be stopped.
