Publication number: 20240127695Abstract: Described herein are various techniques, including a system that uses high-rate acceleration data for computing an accident score indicative of a potential collision and triggering an action in response to determining that the accident score indicates a potential collision. The system is configured to filter out undesired high-rate acceleration trigger events such as noise and harsh braking events prior to determining the accident score. The accident score is based on contexts or scores computed from high-rate acceleration data, speed, and GPS data captured by a telematics monitor deployed in a vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Geotab Inc.Inventors: Jack Graham Ellis, Willem Petersen, Sanghamesh Vastrad

Publication number: 20240071230Abstract: Described herein are examples of a computerized method that comprises: in response to obtaining information regarding a potential collision between a vehicle and an object, obtaining data describing the vehicle for a time period extending before and after a time of the potential collision. The method may determine a likelihood that the potential collision is a non-collision event based on the data describing the vehicle by performing one or more assessments. The assessments may include telematics monitor assessment, driver behavior assessment, road surface feature assessment, trip correlation assessment, and/or context assessment. In response to determining that the likelihood indicates that the potential collision is not a non-collision event, the method may trigger one or more actions responding to the potential collision.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Geotab Inc.Inventors: Willem Petersen, Harjot Singh Parmar, Amish Vijay Patel, Meghan Frances Fotak, Paul Stobbe, Robert Spencer Hockin

Publication number: 20230252412Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data capture instructions for asset tracking are provided. An example method for capturing data involves obtaining raw data from a data source onboard an asset and monitoring the raw data for satisfaction of a simplified data capture trigger. When the simplified data capture trigger is satisfied, a dataset simplification algorithm is performed on the raw data to generate a simplified set of raw data, and the simplified set of raw data is logged. The method further involves monitoring the raw data for satisfaction of a rich data capture trigger. When the rich data capture trigger is satisfied, an unsimplified block of raw data is identified and logged for rich data analysis. The data is transmitted to a server. The unsimplified block of raw data contains raw data that is additional to the raw data contained in the simplified set of raw data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicant: Geotab Inc.Inventors: Robert Spencer Hockin, Willem Petersen, Robert Bradley
