Publication number: 20230314153Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Zoran Navratil, Kevin Patrick Rice, Daniel Brian Mohnen, Kevin Glickley, Nilesh Ponnala, Rahul Chandrawanshi
