  • Patent number: 11961339
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing platforms that utilize machine learning to reduce false positive/negative collision output generation. A computing platform may apply machine learning algorithms on received data to generate a collision output. In response to generating the collision output indicating a collision, the computing platform may identify a data collection location. If the data collection location is within a predetermined radius of a false positive collection location, the computing platform may modify the collision output to indicate a non-collision. If the data collection location is not within the predetermined radius, the computing platform may compute a score using telematics data and compare the score to a predetermined threshold. If the score does not exceed the predetermined threshold, the computing platform may modify the collision output to indicate a non-collision.

  • Publication number: 20240102807
    Abstract: Raw sensor data from a device of a user is collected. Trips from the sensor data are identified as raw trip data. Metadata for the trips is identified, linked to the trips, and maintained separately from the trip data. The trips are staged, and the corresponding trip data normalized when obtained from a storage or memory location. Normalized trip data is piped or made accessible to feature enhancing applications (apps), each app associating one or more features and events with a given trip. The features and events are maintained for the trips in event and feature level of detail tables. The tables are processed by consuming apps for purposes of updating user-level attributes associated with the user. In an embodiment, custom apps process the raw trip data to add additional features and events, which are directly integrated and updated in the tables for access by the consuming apps.

  • Patent number: 11933624
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing remotely captured sensor data. A computing platform having at least one processor, a communication interface, and memory may receive, via the communication interface, from a user computing device, sensor data captured by the user computing device using one or more sensors built into the user computing device. Subsequently, the computing platform may analyze the sensor data received from the user computing device by executing one or more data processing modules. Then, the computing platform may generate trip record data based on analyzing the sensor data received from the user computing device and may store the trip record data in a trip record database. In addition, the computing platform may generate user record data based on analyzing the sensor data received from the user computing device and may store the user record data in a user record database.

  • Publication number: 20240075939
    Abstract: Raw sensor data from a device of a user is collected. The raw data does not include location data for the device. The data is preprocessed to identify driving trips in which the user had the device. The trip data is provided to machine-learning models (MLMs) as input and the MLMs provide as output predictions for each trip's estimated speeds, estimated number of hard brakes and a degree of each hard brake, and estimated degrees of distracted driving. A duration, time of day, and calendar date of each trip is identified. The predictions, duration, time of day, and calendar date are modified into four factor values. The four modified factor values are combined into an overall driver characteristic value and provided to a network service associated with the user for purposes of providing or modifying services provided to the user through the network service based on the overall characteristic value.

  • Publication number: 20230267781
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses may determine, based upon edge-computing operations, that a vehicular trip has been initiated and cause one or more sensors to collect vehicle data. One or more trip segments for at least a portion of the vehicular trip may be determined. In some aspects, for each trip segment, a first plurality of time features and a second plurality of frequency features may be determined, and may be concatenated with a third plurality of GPS features to form a feature vector. An accuracy measure may be determined based on the feature vector, and a mode for the vehicle may be predicted.

  • Publication number: 20230117354
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for receiving and transmitting accelerometer data and/or usage data, and analyzing the data to detect movement or usage of the device within a vehicle. A device, such as a mobile device, may detect a device movement event or a device usage event associated with the device. Based on the detection of the device movement event or the device usage event, a time associated with the event may be stored. The device may determine whether another event associated with the device occurs within a threshold amount of time from the time associated with the event. Based on a determination of whether the other event occurs within the threshold amount of time, the device may determine an event session associated with the device. The event session may comprise an instantaneous event or a continuous event. Data indicative of the event session may be transmitted to a server.

  • Publication number: 20210287530
    Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with embodiments of the invention can obtain and use a variety of telematics and other data to predict potential claim or accident outcomes arising from a variety of incidents, such as automobile accidents. The claim or accident outcomes, such as parts of the vehicle damaged, accident category, expected liabilities, and many others, can be predicted based on the telematics and other data, such as accelerometer data, heading data, location/GPS, barometer, gyroscope, magnetometer data, and the like. The machine learning classifiers that can be generated are trained on historical data, consisting of claims, telematics, and/or other relevant data. In a variety of embodiments, the telematics data can be captured using a telematics device installed in the vehicle and/or via a mobile device associated with the vehicle.
