Abstract
A process and system for enabling a 360-degree threat detection sensor system that is physically coupled to a vehicle to monitor an area of interest surrounding the vehicle. An electronic computing device selects an area of interest surrounding a vehicle stop location to be monitored by the sensor system. When the sensor system has an obstructed field-of-view of the area of interest, the electronic computing device determines a new vehicle stop location at which the sensor system has an unobstructed field-of-view of the area of interest when the vehicle is to be stopped at the new vehicle stop location. The electronic computing device then transmits an instruction to a target electronic device to provide an electronic indication identifying the new vehicle stop location to a registered occupant of the vehicle, or autonomously control the vehicle to stop at the new vehicle stop location.
