1. A computerized method, performed by a computing system having one or more hardware computer processors and one or more non-transitory computer readable storage device storing software instructions executable by the computing system to perform the computerized method comprising:
accessing images of an area in front of a vehicle acquired by an outward-facing camera associated with the vehicle;
evaluating at least some of the accessed images with reference to each of a plurality of safety event criteria associated with a corresponding plurality of safety event types;
triggering a first safety event in response to determining that features of the at last some of the accessed images match a first safety event criteria associated with a first safety event type;
accessing an asset data structure including associations between safety event types and respective asset data, wherein a first asset data associated with the first safety event type is different than a second asset data associated with a second safety event type; and
initiating access to additional sensor data including asset data from one or more sensors associated with the vehicle, wherein the additional sensor data is identified based at least on a type of the triggered first safety event.
