Patent number: 11568434Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for executing feedback actions based upon vehicle practices are provided. For example, sensor data is collected from sensors configured to collect sensor data associated with vehicles. The sensor data is synthesized to attribute sensor data to vehicle motion of the vehicle in relation to other objects. The vehicle motion is synthesized to determine driving actions of the vehicle, such as switching lanes, making a left hand turn, running a red light, etc. Vehicle practices of the vehicle are defined based upon the driving actions, such as a vehicle practice of a driver running red lights. A feedback action is executed to either reward the vehicle practices or incentivize a change in the vehicle practices.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Eric Theodore Bax, Kimberly Williams, Lisa Giaffo, John Donald, Teppo Veikko Salonen
