  • Patent number: 12264927
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to enhanced telematics processing systems with improved third party source data integration features and enhanced customized driving output determinations. A computing platform may receive telematics data and third party source data. The computing platform may enrich the telematics data using the third party source data. After generating the enriched telematics data, the computing platform may use machine learning algorithms and datasets to validate the enriched telematics data. The computing platform may ingest, via a batch ingestion process, the enriched telematics data. For example, the computing platform may store the enriched telematics data and generate additional enriched telematics data until expiration of a predetermined period of time. The computing platform may ingest the enriched telematics data associated with each trip. Once the enriched telematics data has been ingested, the computing platform may generate a standardized common trip format output for each trip.

  • Patent number: 12266254
    Abstract: Described are techniques for corroborating anomalous behavior. The techniques include training devices included in an Internet of Things (IoT) mesh network to independently identify occurrences of anomalous behavior in a proximate physical environment. The techniques further include receiving event data from at least a portion of the devices in the IoT mesh network corresponding to a time window, where the event data reports occurrences of at least one type of anomalous behavior. The techniques further include corroborating the at least one type of anomalous behavior to determine that the occurrences of the at least one type of anomalous behavior indicate an anomalous event that meets a reporting threshold for providing notice of the anomalous event.
