Systems, methods, models, and training data for models are discussed, for determining vehicle positioning, and in particular identifying tailgating. Simulated training images showing vehicles following other vehicles, under various conditions, are generated using a virtual environment. Models are trained to determine following distance between two vehicles. Trained models are used to in detection of tailgating, based on determined distance between two vehicles. Results of tailgating are output to warn a driver, or to provide a report on driver behavior.

Systems, methods, models, and training for collision detection and near miss detection are discussed. Models are trained to identify collisions and near misses between two vehicles, based on how quickly a bounding box size changes for a vehicle represented in image data. Rapidly changing bounding box size is indicative of extreme proximity between vehicles, and thus indicative of collision or near-miss scenarios. Identifications of collisions or near misses can be reported to a remote operator, to send emergency assistance, perform driver evaluation, or alert other drivers in the area of risks.

Models are trained to determine following distance between two vehicles. Trained models are used in detection of tailgating, based on determined distance between two vehicles. Results of tailgating are output to warn a driver, or to provide a report on driver behavior. Following distance over time is determined, and simplified following distance data is generated for use at a management device.
