Abstract

An example operation includes one or more of associating a transport with an impact in proximity to one or more other transports, transmitting, by a device in proximity to the impact, media related to the impact, receiving, by a server, the media, determining, by the server, one or more sounds based on the media, and associating, by the server, the one or more sounds with one or more of the transport and the one or more other transports.

Claims (43)

1. A method, comprising:

associating a transport with an impact in proximity to one or more other transports;

transmitting, by a device in proximity to the impact, media related to the impact;

receiving, by a server, the media;

determining, by the server, one or more sounds based on the media; and

associating, by the server, the one or more sounds with one or more of the transport and the one or more other transports.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the device is associated with one or more of the transport, the other transports, an occupant of the transport, and an occupant of the other transports.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the proximity is associated with a distance from the impact defined by a geofence.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media comprises one or more of an audio file, a video file, a text file, an image file, transport telemetry, environmental data, traffic data, and sensor data.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media further comprises one or more of a direction for each of the sounds, wherein the method further comprising:

determining, at the server, a number of videos based on the received media; and

synchronizing the one or more sounds with one or more videos.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining one or more sounds based on the media comprises:

timestamping one or more of a start time and an end time for each sound; and

identifying a sound source for each of the one or more sounds.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sounds are recorded within a first predetermined time before the impact and a second predetermined time after the impact.

8. A server, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, coupled to the processor, comprising instructions that when executed by the processor are configured to:

receive, from a device in proximity to an impact, media related to the impact;

associate a transport with the impact, the impact in proximity to one or more other transports;

determine one or more sounds based on the media; and

associate the one or more sounds with one or more of the transport and the one or more other transports.

9. The server of claim 8 , wherein the device is associated with one or more of the transport, the other transports, an occupant of the transport, and an occupant of the other transports.

10. The server of claim 8 , wherein the proximity is associated with a distance from the impact defined by a geofence.

11. The server of claim 8 , wherein the media comprises one or more of an audio file, a video file, a text file, an image file, transport telemetry, environmental data, traffic data, and sensor data.

12. The server of claim 11 , wherein the media further comprises one or more of a direction for each of the sounds, wherein the server further configured to determine a number of videos based on the received media and synchronize the one or more sounds with one or more videos.

13. The server of claim 8 , wherein the server configured to determine one or more sounds based on the media comprises the server configured to:

timestamp one or more of a start time and an end time for each sound; and

identify a sound source for each of the one or more sounds.

14. The server of claim 8 , wherein the one or more sounds are recorded within a first predetermined time before the impact and a second predetermined time after the impact.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:

receiving, from a device in proximity to an impact, media related to the impact;

associating a transport with the impact, the impact in proximity to one or more other transports;

determining one or more sounds based on the media; and

associating the one or more sounds with one or more of the transport and the one or more other transports.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the device is associated with one or more of the transport, the other transports, an occupant of the transport, and an occupant of the other transports.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the proximity is associated with a distance from the impact defined by a geofence.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the media comprises one or more of an audio file, a video file, a text file, an image file, transport telemetry, environmental data, traffic data, and sensor data.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the media further comprises one or more of a direction for each of the sounds, wherein the one or more sounds are recorded within a first predetermined time before the impact and a second predetermined time after the impact, wherein the processor is further configured to determine a number of videos based on the received media and synchronize the one or more sounds with one or more videos.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to determine one or more sounds based on the media comprises the processor configured to:

timestamp one or more of a start time and an end time for each sound; and

identify a sound source for each of the one or more sounds.
