Abstract

An example operation may include one or more of detecting a potential event via sensors on a transport, sending data related to the potential event to other transports within a predefined distance, storing the data at the transports and a server, and performing a transport operation response on the transports.

Claims (22)

1. A system, comprising:

a processor and one or more sensors on a first transport;

a second transport;

a server; and

a memory that stores instructions that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:

determine, by the server, that data related to a potential event detected by the first transport is received by the server;

determine, by the server, that data sent from the second transport is received by the server; and

remove, by the server, the data from one or more of the first transport and the second transport.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the potential event is an imminent contact with an object.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data is sent to the second transport, and the data is sent to a third transport, wherein the data is sent to the second transport and to the third transport within at least one of:

a same time; and a different time.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein when the server receives at least one of:

the data from the second transport;

and the data from the third transport;

wherein when the server determines that the data is received, data is removed from one or more of the first transport, the second transport, and the third transport.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein data in the server from one or more of the second transport and the third transport are compared,

wherein the comparison determines a state of the first transport at a time that the data was sent to the second transport and a state of the first transport at a time that the data was sent to the third transport,

wherein the server determines a next action based on the state of the first transport within at least one of the time that the data was sent to the second transport, and at the time that the data was sent to the third transport.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the detection of the potential event is from at least one of:

a sensor on a stationary object; and

a sensor on an object in motion.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data is one or more of audio, video, data captured in the first transport, data related to the first transport and data related to an outside surrounding area of the first transport.
