Abstract: Techniques described herein include utilizing a mobile device as a proxy receiver for a vehicle such that a driver of the vehicle can be presented driving assistance information based on messages received by the mobile device. The mobile device can determine that it is temporally located with the vehicle. If so, the mobile device can be configured to receive messages from other entities (e.g., vehicles, roadside units, traffic signals, and the like) in a vehicle-to-everything network. On reception, the mobile device may determine whether a received data message is relevant to the vehicle. In response to determining that the data message is, in fact, relevant to the vehicle, the mobile device may provide driving assistance information that is generated based at least in part on the information provided in the received data message.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory machine-readable media associated with an emergency assistance response are described. A system for an emergency assistance response can include a non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a processing resource in communication with a memory resource having instructions executable to receive signaling associated with monitored health data. The instructions can be executable to track the received signaling, identify, output data representative of abnormal health data based on the tracked received signaling, and transmit the output data to a wearable device. The wearable device can receive the output data representative of the abnormal health data, provide a prompt via a user interface to a wearer of the wearable device associated with the abnormal health data, determine a response to the abnormal health data based on a reply or non-reply from the wearer via the user interface, and transmit the response to the processing resource.

Abstract: In various embodiments, an alert personalization application personalizes in-vehicle alerts. The alert personalization application estimates an increase in a negative emotion associated with an occupant of a vehicle based on at least one characteristic of the occupant. Subsequently, the alert personalization application determines that the increase is associated with a negative reaction to an in-vehicle alert that has a first alert characteristic. In response, the alert personalization application determines that the first alert characteristic should be replaced with a second alert characteristic. The alert personalization causes another in-vehicle alert to be generated that has the second alert characteristic instead of the first alert characteristic. Advantageously, personalizing alert characteristics that influence how and/or when in-vehicle alerts are generated can increase the effectiveness of in-vehicle alerts and can improve driving safety.

Abstract: A vehicle can include an on-board data processing system that receives velocity data captured by one or more sensors of the vehicle. As a vehicle travels along a route, the on-board data processing system can process the velocity data to identify potential vehicle stops. For example, the system can detect a trough in velocity values, and determine whether a velocity value at the trough is below a threshold velocity value. If the velocity value is below the threshold velocity value, the system can determine whether any vehicle stops were previously detected within a threshold time of the time corresponding to the trough. If a vehicle stop was previously detected, the system may detect that a stop occurred at the time of the trough if the velocity of the vehicle increased by at least a velocity ripple value between the time of the previously-detected stop and the time of the trough.
