%X This paper introduces a methodology for the identification of events or potentially dangerous situations in road traffic by extracting information from the OBD-II interface. The proposed system for identifying hazardous locations includes a GNSS positioning system. As such, with the use of existing navigation systems or with the use of newly installed equipment, the exact geographic location where a given risk occurs will be identified.    Keywords: OBD-II; data logging; active security; road traffic; traffic events; dangerous situations; safety information; environmental information; hazardous locations; GNSS positioning; geographic location; risk assessment; risk locations; vehicle safety; smartphones; cell phones; mobile phones.<p />
