Abstract
A controller for a vehicle is configured to determine a driving behaviour of a first vehicle and a second vehicle. The controller is configured to receive data relating to at least one of a flow of traffic at the given location and a geography at the given location. If the controller determines that the driving behaviour of the first vehicle and the driving behaviour of the second vehicle are similar and the controller determines that at least one of the flow of traffic at the given location departs from a normal traffic flow and the geography at the given location increases the risk of accident, then the controller is configured to issue an alert.
