Systems and methods in accordance with embodiments of the invention can proactively determine if a vehicle has stopped during a trip and calculate a likelihood that the vehicle is in need of roadside assistance. Information can be collected from a variety of devices, such as mobile phones, including the vehicle's location, the type of road, passing vehicles, and/or ambient noise. The likelihood of needing roadside assistance can be determined based on a configurable probability that the vehicle is experiencing a roadside event. The arrangements described herein provide for receiving and processing data in real-time to efficiently and accurately detect stopped vehicles, determine whether the vehicle is stopped for an urgent or non-urgent situation reason, and provide assistance accordingly.
