  • Publication number: 20240020711
    Abstract: A technique is directed to methods and systems for customer accounts association in multilingual environments. The data aggregation system can utilize a machine learning-based algorithm that identifies all the accounts belonging to the same customer based on relevant account information. Inputs can include customer name, customer address, email, phone number, type of industry, or type of fleet. The system utilizes feature creation and a coarse pass to identify likely account pairs, perform account association by preparing an input core dataset, and update the core dataset at a predefined time interval with identified new or changed records.

  • Patent number: 11574283
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for updating asset ownership for telematics-enabled machinery. In some embodiments, the updating asset ownership system comprises asset entities that transmit telemetry data. A communication interface of the updating asset ownership system can receive the telemetry data. An asset ownership data store of the updating asset ownership system can be configured to store asset owner data that identify designated owners associated with the asset entities. An asset ownership comparator of the updating asset ownership system can process the received telemetry data. Based on the processing, the asset ownership comparator can update designated owners of asset entities stored in the asset ownership data store.

  • Patent number: 10755566
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are described so as to provide more additional information regarding vehicular behavior. In the context of a method, information is received regarding a location of the vehicle at a plurality of instances in time. The plurality of instances in time define a time period. The method also includes determining an environmental condition at the location during the time period and comparing the behavior of the vehicle to that of other vehicles at the location that are also subjected to the environmental condition. Additionally, the method may determine a score for the vehicle in relation to a risk factor based upon the behavior of the vehicle and the comparison to other vehicles at the location that are also subjected to the environmental condition.

    Abstract: An approach is provided for determining at least one distribution of a plurality of current values for at least one dynamic content parameter associated with a plurality of points of interest within a predetermined proximity to at least one target point of interest. The approach involves determining at least one distribution mean and at least one distribution standard deviation for the at least one distribution of the plurality of current values. The approach also involves determining at least one set of historical values for the at least one dynamic content parameter for the at least one target point of interest. The approach further involves determining at least one estimated current value for the at least one dynamic content parameter associated with the at least one target point of interest based, at least in part, on the at least one set of historical values, the at least one distribution mean, and the at least one distribution standard deviation.

  • Patent number: 10672264
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an incident report including a path segment identifier and an incident identifier is received at a computing device. The incident identifier is sent to a traffic prediction model. The traffic prediction model returns a traffic distribution value. The traffic distribution value identifies a portion of a traffic prediction distribution derived from historical data. The computing device accesses a lookup table according to traffic distribution value and the path segment identifier to receive a speed prediction.

  • Patent number: 10055981
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for traffic modeling comprising: receiving by a server, traffic data generated by one or more devices configured to record data indicating speeds of vehicles traveling a road segment. The server separates, with a processor, the traffic data into zero speed data and non-zero speed data. The server determines, with the processor, a zero speed data characteristic value of the zero speed data. The server determines, with the processor, at least one non-zero speed data characteristic value of the non-zero speed data. The server generates, with the processor, a representative traffic value for the road segment as a function of the zero speed characteristic value and the non-zero speed characteristic value.
