Abstract: A system for vehicle insurance actuaries, including a data collector aggregating dynamic vehicle data from sensors, the data including vehicle speed and acceleration, the vehicle being driven by a driver, a data processor generating a data driver distribution matrix (DDM) from the data collected by the data collector, and pre-processing the DDM, a convertor, representing the data DDM output by the data processor by a graphic DDM, a server computer, training a model to learn important features of graphics that are related to likelihood of drivers submitting an insurance claim, and to assign driver scores based on graphics, and a transmitter transmitting the graphic DDM to the server computer, wherein the server computer receives the graphic DDM from the transmitter, computes a driver score from the graphic DDM, based on the model, and infers the likelihood of the driver submitting an insurance claim, based on the driver score.

Abstract: An auxiliary cooling system for dashcams includes a variable speed fan attachable to a dashcam, a thermostat for temperature monitoring, and a pass-through power connector. The pass-through connector allows the system to draw power from the dashcam's power source while ensuring continued power delivery to the dashcam. Fan speed is controlled based on temperature readings, potentially with hysteresis, to optimize cooling and minimize noise. Optional features include an open design for easy cleaning, flat or transparent cabling for concealed installation, an integrated UPS for backup power, multiple thermostats for improved accuracy, an integrated USB hub, and sensor-based feedback (microphone, accelerometer) for intelligent fan speed adjustment. The system aims to enhance dashcam reliability and performance, especially in high-temperature environments or under heavy processing loads, by providing active thermal management.
