  • Publication number: 20250104725
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of assessing driver safety, includes: analyzing a motion that is associated with a vehicle and is detected by one or more first sensors to determine one or more instances of unsafe driving behavior; identifying one or more sound levels that are associated with an interior of the vehicle, as detected by one or more second sensors, and correspond to the one or more instances of unsafe driving behavior; identifying at least one of the one or more sound levels that exceeds a sound threshold; and generating an alert indicating the at least one of the one or more sound levels, as identified, exceeds the sound threshold. Other embodiments are described.

  • Patent number: 12125494
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and techniques for assessing driver safety based on noise levels or sounds associated with the interior of a vehicle are provided. Noise levels or sounds associated with the interior of a vehicle over a first interval of time may be compared to indications of vehicle motion over the first interval of time to identify noise levels or sounds at times when the indications of vehicle motion indicate unsafe driving. The identified noise levels or sounds may be analyzed to determine noise levels, sources, and/or characteristics of sounds associated with unsafe driving. Noise levels or sounds associated with the interior of the vehicle over a second interval of time may be analyzed to determine instances in which the noise levels, sources, and/or characteristics of sounds associated with unsafe driving occur over the second interval of time. Alerts may be generated for vehicle operators based on the determined instances.
