1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, signal data indicative of a position of a wireless communication device relative to a plurality of localization devices located in a vehicle;
analyzing, by the processor and relative to at least three RFID nodes, the signal data to determine one or more parameters comprising an amplitude, a phase, an angle of reception, and an elapsed time;
determining, by the processor and by utilizing the one or more parameters, a position of the wireless communication device in the vehicle; and
based on a determination that the position of the wireless communication device corresponds to a position indicative of an occurrence of a risk event, categorizing, by the processor, a driver of the vehicle into a risk category; and
displaying, to the driver and based on the risk category, an event notification of the occurrence of the risk event based on the position of the wireless communication device.
