SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING POTENTIAL ACCIDENT SITUATIONS WITH A CAR

With the aim of anticipating conditions which may lead to an accident, a method is proposed for detecting potential accident situations with a vehicle driven by a driver, said method comprising the following steps: - collecting behaviour data of the vehicle by sensors located in the vehicle, - obtaining a position of the vehicle, - transmitting the behaviour data and the position of the vehicle to a control centre, - selecting at least one traffic monitoring camera based on the position of the vehicle, - acquiring images by said traffic monitoring camera, these images comprising the vehicle, - transmitting these images to the control centre, - analysing the behaviour data for detecting a driver's abnormal condition, - analysing the images for detecting an abnormal condition of the vehicle, if the two analyses detect an abnormal condition, registering said vehicle in a probable accident list.
