  • Patent number: 11908043
    Abstract: Telematics systems and methods are described for generating interactive animated guided user interfaces (GUIs). A telematics cloud platform is configured to receive vehicular telematics data from a telematics device onboard a vehicle. A GUI value compression component determines, based on the vehicular telematics data, a plurality of GUI position values and a plurality of corresponding GUI time values. A geospatial animation app receives the plurality of GUI position values and the plurality of corresponding GUI time values. The geospatial animation app implements an interactive animated GUI that renders a plurality of geospatial graphics or graphical routes on a geographic area map via a display device. The geospatial graphics or graphical routes are rendered to have different visual forms based on differences between respective GUI position values and corresponding GUI time values.

  • Publication number: 20240034336
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing continuous safe-driver training safely are provided. A safe-driving challenge may be presented to an operator of a vehicle. Data captured by sensors associated with the vehicle may be analyzed to determine whether the operator of the vehicle has completed the safe-driving challenge. Based on a determination that the operator of the vehicle has completed the safe-driving challenge, a notification may be provided to the operator (e.g., indicating to the operator that he or she has successfully completed the challenge). A processor may randomly select whether a reward is to be provided to the operator of the vehicle based on the determination that the operator of the vehicle has completed the safe-driving challenge. Moreover, if a reward is to be provided to the operator of the vehicle, a processor may randomly select a type of reward to be provided to the operator of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240013590
    Abstract: Systems and methods of incentivizing the use of a safety device while operating a vehicle are provided. Data captured by sensors associated with a safety device may be analyzed to identify instances in which the safety device is used by an operator of a vehicle. Additionally, data captured by sensors associated with the vehicle may be analyzed to identify instances in which the vehicle is in motion. By comparing the instances in which the safety device is used by the operator of the vehicle to the instances in which the vehicle is in motion, instances in which the operator of the vehicle uses the safety device while operating the vehicle may be determined. Furthermore, a trend of the operator of the vehicle using the safety device while operating the vehicle may be identified. A notification related to the identified trend may be provided to the operator of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230177239
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating virtual operation of a virtual vehicle within a virtual environment are disclosed. According to aspects, a computing device may access a data model indicative of real-life operation of a real-life vehicle by a real-life operator and, based on the data model, generate a set of virtual vehicle movements that are reflective of a performance of the real-life operation of the real-life vehicle by the real-life operator. The computing device may display, in a user interface, the virtual vehicle undertaking the set of virtual vehicle movements such that the real-life operator may review the virtual movements and potentially be motivated to improve his/her real-life vehicle operation.

  • Publication number: 20230132673
    Abstract: A method and system may present indications of driver performance metrics on a user interface of a client device based on vehicle data for a user collected over a time interval. The driver performance metrics may include scores for each of several telemetry factors, such as braking, speeding, acceleration, and maneuvers. The user interface may also include indications of levels of safe driving behavior and corresponding driver performance metric ranges for reaching such levels. The indications of the driver performance metrics for the user may be placed in respective positions within the driver performance metric ranges. When the user reaches one of the levels of safe driving behavior based on the driver performance metrics, the user may be provided with a benefit corresponding to the level.

  • Publication number: 20220212676
    Abstract: Systems and methods of utilizing badging for driver risk assessment are provided. Vehicle telematics data (e.g., speed data, acceleration data, braking data, cornering data, following distance data, turn signal data, seatbelt use data) associated with a vehicle operator may be analyzed. Based on the analysis, a trend of safe operation of the vehicle may be identified (e.g., based on a number of vehicle trips and/or a number of consecutive vehicle trips in which the vehicle telematics data indicates safe operation of the vehicle, a frequency of vehicle trips in which the vehicle telematics data indicates safe operation of the vehicle, a comparison to other drivers, etc.) A digital certificate indicating the trend of safe operation of the vehicle may be associated with the vehicle operator. In response to a third-party query regarding the vehicle operator, the digital certificate associated with the vehicle operator may be displayed to the third party.

  • Publication number: 20220099449
    Abstract: Systems and methods of efficient carpooling based on driver risk groups are provided. Vehicle operators may be classified into a carpooling group based on vehicle routes associated with each of the vehicle operators. Vehicle sensor data associated with each vehicle operator of the carpooling group may be analyzed. Based on the analysis of the vehicle sensor data, one or more indicia of safe driving behaviors associated with each vehicle operator of the carpooling group may be identified. The safe driving behaviors associated with each vehicle operator of the carpooling group may be compared. Based on the comparison, a vehicle operator of the carpooling group may be selected as a driver for a carpool. For example, the safest vehicle operator of the carpooling group may be selected as the driver for the carpool. The carpool may include one or more of the other vehicle operators of the carpooling group as passengers.
