receiving sensor data captured of an environment of a transport by one or more sensors installed on the transport;
detecting a possible collision of the transport with an object in the environment of the transport based on the received sensor data;
receiving additional sensor data captured of an occupant of the transport and determining characteristics of the occupant based on the additional sensor data;
determining, via a software application, a level of risk based on the characteristics of the occupant;
directing a sensor from among the one or more sensors installed on the transport to zoom in and capture image data of the object within the environment prior to the possible collision with the object;
accumulating the zoomed in image data from the sensor, wherein the accumulating comprises accumulating the zoomed in image data based on the level of risk; and
sending the accumulated image data to one or more recipients when the collision occurs.
