Patent number: 12327417Abstract: Techniques are presented for detecting when drivers drive while drowsy. In some implementations, a drowsiness model is trained with data associated with inward videos and outward videos captured during a trip. The inward videos capture the inside of the cabin with the driver, and the outward videos capture the view in front of the vehicle in the direction of travel. Further, a device at the vehicle periodically calculates a drowsiness scale index value that indicates the level of drowsiness of the driver. Calculating the drowsiness scale index value includes obtaining a set of inward frames from the inward videos; for each inward frame, creating a face image by cropping the inward frame; obtaining a set of outward frames from the outward videos; calculating inward embeddings of the face images and outward embeddings of the outward frames; and calculating, by the drowsiness model, the drowsiness scale index value.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2024Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Sung Chun Lee, Nathan Hurst, Yan Wang, Olamide Akintewe, Justin Levine, Kenshiro Nakagawa, Cole Jurden, Rachel Demerly, Aravindh Ramesh, Kevin Lai, Jovanna Bubar, Shirish Nair, Maisie Wang

Patent number: 12328639Abstract: Dynamic geofences may be generated and updated based on locations of related assets. For example, locations of a group of related assets, including a primary asset and one or more secondary assets, may be determined. A geofence associated with the primary asset may then be analyzed to identify any geofences of secondary assets that overlap. This process may be repeated for each overlapping geofence to identify additional overlap and expand or move a combined dynamic geofence. Environmental aspects such as time of day, weather conditions, and risk levels may be considered for dynamic geofence adjustments. The combined geofence and asset locations may be displayed on a user interface.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2024Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Jason Smith, Pierre Gavaret, Matthew Basham, Suryakant Kaushik, Faiz Sohaib Abbasi, Jaiveer Kothari, Frieda Bobay, Matthew Geddie, Darrin Joseph Yuhn, Jr., Katherine Heddleston, Rachel Hiu Tung Cheng

Patent number: 12289181Abstract: A system receives vehicle metric data from a gateway device connected to a vehicle. The vehicle gateway device gathers data related to operation of the vehicle and/or location data. The system receives data from multiple vehicles in a fleet. The vehicle gateway device gathers vehicle metric data at a high frequency. Instead of transmitting a large amount of vehicle metric data at a fine level of granularity, the vehicle gateway device aggregates and buckets the vehicle metric data over a period of time (such as, every five minutes). The system uses the bucketed data for fleet management analysis.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2023Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Alexander Stevenson, Wendy Greenberg, Josephine Nord, Matvey Zagaynov, Jennifer Leung, Andrew Robbins, Michael Ross, Aaron Szerlip, Rushil Goel

Patent number: 12280737Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for a remote vehicle immobilizer. A network gateway device receives a command from a remote computing device to modify a configuration of an electronic switch from a first configuration to a second configuration. The electronic switch is positioned in a conducting path between a starter motor of the vehicle and a battery of the vehicle. In response to receiving the command, the network gateway device transmits a signal to the electronic switch via a two-way communication channel connecting the network gateway device to the electronic switch. The signal causes the electronic switch to modify the configuration of the electronic switch from the first configuration to the second configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2024Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Michael Luis Innocenzi, Elias Ray Dykaar, Maxwell Anton Dergosits, Ingo Gerhard Wiegand

Patent number: 12269425Abstract: Techniques are presented for enabling vehicle immobilization based on location. One method includes providing a user interface to configure immobilization settings. The vehicle is configured for threat detection, and a data structure is created to define locations where immobilization is enabled. A Behavioral Monitoring System (BMS) prepares and sends a hierarchical map structure to the vehicle's communication device, which determines when to immobilize the vehicle based on its location. The communication device and engine immobilizer are installed in the vehicle. Continuous monitoring for tampering and jamming is performed, and upon detection, the method checks if geographic locking is enabled. If geographic locking is enabled, the vehicle is immobilized according to configuration rules, and the BMS is notified. The immobilization process can be ended based on predefined configuration parameters, such as a time interval, recovery of GPS signal, or driver notification.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2024Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Oleksandr Zhevzhyk, James Michael Rowson, Nicholas Lee Grauman

Patent number: 12272138Abstract: Techniques are presented for the detection and management of collision warning (CW) events. A training dataset comprising videos of vehicle collisions and non-collisions, sensor readings, environmental conditions, and more is utilized to train a CW classification model for detecting potential collision events in vehicles. A backend CW classification model, with greater computational resources, employs a more complex neural network to review CW events received by the Behavioral Monitoring System (BMS) based on video data, achieving higher precision and reducing false positives. The CW model is installed in vehicles for real-time detection, while the backend model is deployed at the BMS. The BMS validates detected CW events, filters out false positives, and streamlines the review process for fleet administrators and customers. Additional BMS filtering operations include assessing non-proximity-related CW events and camera impairments, with the filtered CW events presented for review in the safety inbox.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2024Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Rohit Annigeri, Sharan Srinivasan, Kevin Lai, Jose Cazarin, Brian Westphal, Shiva Bala, Ivan Stoev, Douglas Boyle, Cole Jurden, Margaret Irene Finch, Rachel Demerly, Maya Krupa, Shirish Nair, Nathan Hurst, Yan Wang, Shaurye Aggarwal, Akshay Raj Dhamija

Patent number: 12266123Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for monitoring tailgating when a vehicle follows another vehicle at an unsafe distance. A method for enhancing a Following Distance (FD) machine learning (ML) model is disclosed. The method includes providing a management user interface (UI) for configuring FD parameters, followed by receiving FD events. A UI for manual FD annotation and another for customer review of filtered FD events are also provided. Annotations and customer review information are collected to improve the training set for the FD ML model. The FD model is then trained with the new data and downloaded to a vehicle. Once installed, the FD model is utilized to detect FD events within the vehicle, thereby enhancing the vehicle's safety and performance in driving scenarios by improving the accuracy and reliability of FD event predictions or detections.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2024Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Suryakant Kaushik, Cole Jurden, Marc Clifford, Robert Koenig, Abner Ayala, Kevin Lai, Jose Cazarin, Margaret Irene Finch, Rachel Demerly, Nathan Hurst, Yan Wang, Akshay Raj Dhamija
