Identifying roadway concerns and taking preemptive actions

Abstract

An example operation may include one or more of identifying a person as a roadway obstruction via a transport moving along the roadway, determining a first threat level of the person at a first time, via the transport, when the first threat level is above a threshold, indicating via the transport, to alert at least one of an occupant of the transport and the person, detecting a gesture, via the transport, performed by the person, and the gesture indicates the transport should proceed, responsive to detecting the gesture, determining a second threat level at a second time is below the threshold, and responsive to the second threat level being below the threshold, proceeding, by the transport, along the roadway.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 identifying a person as a roadway obstruction via a transport moving along the roadway;   determining a first threat level of the person at a first time, via the transport;   when the first threat level is above a threshold, indicating via the transport, to alert at least one of an occupant of the transport and the person;   detecting a gesture, via the transport, performed by the person, wherein the gesture indicates the transport should proceed;   responsive to detecting the gesture, determining a second threat level at a second time is below the threshold; and   responsive to the second threat level being below the threshold, proceeding, by the transport, along the roadway.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first threat level is based on a speed of transport, a direction of the transport and a distance between the transport and the person at the first time. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising
 identifying the person is deviating away from the transport based on one or more of a location of the person at the second time and a position of the person's body at the second time; and   responsive to identifying the person is deviating away from the transport, interpreting the gesture by the transport to proceed along the roadway.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising
 identifying the person is deviating away from entering the roadway based on one or more of a location of the person at the second time and a position of the person's body at the second time; and   responsive to identifying the person is deviating away from entering from the roadway, interpreting the gesture by the transport to proceed along the roadway.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising
 detecting a body movement performed by the person;   interpreting the body movement as one or more of instructing the transport to stop and instructing the transport to continue moving on the roadway; and   identifying the body movement as the gesture.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 detecting the roadway obstruction in a travel path of the transport via an image capture device of the transport;   comparing the detected roadway obstruction to a set of known objects stored in memory;   matching the detected roadway obstruction to one or more of the known objects; and   responsive to matching the roadway obstruction, designating the roadway obstruction as the person, wherein the indicating is one or more of a light display, a text indicator, a video indicator, an audio indicator, a wireless data message command, a transport braking operation, and a transport steering operation.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 responsive to determining at least one of the first threat level and the second threat level, invoking a smart contract;   creating a blockchain transaction comprising information related to the transport, transport occupants, and at least one of the first threat level and the second threat level; and   storing at least one of the smart contract and the blockchain transaction in a distributed ledger.   
     
     
         8 . A system, comprising:
 a transport configured to   identify a person as a roadway obstruction along a roadway;   determine a first threat level of the person at a first time;   when the first threat level is above a threshold, perform an alert indication to at least one of an occupant of the transport and the person;   detect a gesture, performed by the person, wherein the gesture indicates the transport should proceed;   responsive to detection of the gesture, determine a second threat level at a second time is below the threshold; and   responsive to the second threat level being below the threshold, proceed along the roadway.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the first threat level is based on a speed of transport, a direction of the transport and a distance between the transport and the person at the first time. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the transport is further configured to
 identify the person has deviated away from the transport based on one or more of a location of the person at the second time and a position of the person's body at the second time; and   responsive to the person being identified as deviated away from the transport, interpret the gesture by the transport to proceed along the roadway.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the transport is further configured to
 identify the person has deviated away from the roadway based on one or more of a location of the person at the second time and a position of the person's body at the second time; and   responsive to the person being identified as deviated away from the roadway, interpret the gesture by the transport to proceed along the roadway.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the transport is further configured to
 detect a body movement performed by the person;   interpret the body movement as one or more of an instruction to the transport to stop and an instruction to the transport to continue movement on the roadway; and   identify the body movement as the gesture.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the transport is further configured to
