1. A computer-implemented method for operating a digital alerting system, the method comprising:
determining a post-alert behavior of a vehicle that was provided a digital alert, wherein the post-alert behavior is determined using 1) a time that the digital alert was provided to the vehicle, and 2) vehicle telemetry data that was received at a digital alerting system from the vehicle;
modifying a digital alerting rule based on the post-alert behavior; and
updating a rules engine of the digital alerting system with the modified digital alerting rule, wherein the rules engine is configured to implement digital alerting rules;
wherein determining a post-alert behavior includes:
1) identifying, in an alert database of the digital alerting system, a vehicle ID of the vehicle that received the digital alert, wherein the alert database includes alert entries, with each alert entry including an alert ID, a timestamp, and vehicle IDs of alerted vehicles;
2) identifying, in a vehicle tracking database of the digital alerting system, vehicle telemetry data for the vehicle that is later in time than the time that the digital alert was provided to the vehicle, wherein the vehicle tracking database includes vehicle data entries, with each vehicle data entry including a vehicle ID, a timestamp, and location information, wherein the vehicle telemetry data for the vehicle that is later in time than the time that the digital alert was provided to the vehicle is identified in the vehicle tracking database using the vehicle ID, timestamps of the vehicle data entries, and a timestamp of the digital alert; and
3) using the vehicle telemetry data for the vehicle that has a timestamp later in time than the timestamp of the digital alert to determine the post-alert behavior.
