Claim 11:
12. A method comprising:
in response to obtaining information regarding a potential collision between a vehicle and an object:
obtaining, for a time period extending before and after a time of the potential collision, data describing the vehicle during the time period;
determining, based at least in part on the data describing the vehicle during the time period, a likelihood that the potential collision is a non-collision event, by assessing one or more conditions comprising:
whether the vehicle experienced a pull-over around the time the potential collision;
whether the vehicle experienced a speed reduction around the time of the potential collision;
whether Global Positioning System (GPS) data for the vehicle around the time of the potential collision is unreliable;
whether an acceleration context linked to collision existed around the time of the potential collision; or
whether the vehicle experienced a stop around the time of the potential collision in a travel lane at which vehicles do not customarily stop; and

in response to determining that the likelihood indicates that the potential collision is not a non-collision event:
triggering one or more actions responding to the potential collision.
