The present disclosure generally relates to methods, systems, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer readable media for incident detection using radar sensory data. A vehicular tracking system comprises at least one on-vehicle sensor, such as a radar sensor, that can perceive the environment around the vehicle and capture data related to possible incidents that may be viewed by the sensor. A radar sensor may provide radar data that can be used to calculate velocity vectors, accelerations vectors, azimuth and elevation angles of other vehicles, and this data may be collected and stored for possible incident characterization and accident investigation. The vehicle with the sensor may be configured to behave as a third-party witness to possible incidents. Several sensors may be used in conjunction with one another, where one sensor may trigger another sensor to begin capturing other data that the first sensor may be unable to capture.

Methods and systems for vehicle-based tracking of nearby events

A method for providing alerts for a traffic slowdown includes receiving location data for at least a first vehicle of a plurality of vehicles, map matching the location data for at least the first vehicle to a road network, calculating an approaching speed for at least the first vehicle at a first time, calculating a final speed for at least the first vehicle at a second time, and generating a traffic slowdown message in response to the approaching speed and the final speed. The traffic slowdown message includes at least one characteristic of the traffic slowdown.
