Publication number: 20240153011Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, systems and apparatuses for determining and implementing risk unit usage-based insurance policies. In some arrangements, sensor data associated with vehicle operation data, driving data, and the like, may be received and analyzed to determine a consumption rate of risk units in the risk unit usage-based insurance policy. In some examples, one or more driving behaviors may also be identified (e.g., from the sensor data, historical data, and the like). In some examples, one or more user interfaces may be generated displaying the determined consumption rate and/or driving behaviors. In some arrangements, additional information, such as one or more recommendations for improving (e.g., reducing) consumption rate may be generated and provided via the generated user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Regina Madigan, Dana Ferguson, Mark V.

Patent number: 11946748Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, systems and apparatuses for determining a blind corner navigational score based on real-time or near real-time navigational analysis using sensor data, digital image data, and a map database are discussed. In some arrangements, detection of a blind sensor may be performing using sensor data, digital image data, and navigational data from a map database system. In at least some arrangements, a warning signal or a vehicle control signal may be transmitted to a vehicle in response to a determination that the blind corner navigational score is above a threshold. In at least some arrangements, route correction and/or route modification based on an upcoming blind corner may be performed if a blind corner navigational score is above a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Veljko Krunic, Sunil Chintakindi, Timothy W.

Publication number: 20240092299Abstract: Event-based connected vehicle control and response systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed. An example method comprises identifying the occurrence of an event, storing first data corresponding to apparatus operation for a first threshold amount of time prior to the event, during the occurrence of the event, and for a second threshold amount of time after the event, determining whether a responsive object is involved in or near the event, in response to determining that the responsive object is involved in or near the event, transmitting the first data to the responsive object, and receiving, from the responsive object, second data, analyzing the first data and the second data to determine a party at-fault for the event, aggregating the first data and second data into an event report, and causing, automatically, a response to be initiated through an entity associated with the party at-fault.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Surender Kumar, Clint J.

Publication number: 20240073647Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, software, and system may generally build and quantify mobility patterns based on user location data, both at an individual level and an aggregate level. The system may determine the origin and destination data for each trip taken by a user. The system may then define areas of mobility using a mobility graph built from the data. The graph may include nodes and edges. In some examples, the nodes are constructed from the origins and destinations of the trajectories using spatial clustering techniques. Further, the edges between nodes may be constructed based on the trips between them, such as two nodes are connected by an edge if there is at least one trip between them. The edges may be given different weights based on trip frequencies. The system may then determine a region of mobility using the generated mobility graph and data clustering techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Matei Stroila, Narayanan Alwar, Timothy W.

Publication number: 20240046365Abstract: A system including a computing device may receive base map information, including attribute information associated with a plurality of road segments, and trip request information. Based on this information, a route for the user to travel may be determined. The system might further calculate a risk score for each road segment forming the route, and generate a risk map based on the risk score and the route. The risk map may then be displayed to a user. The risk map may include markers or other objects depicting potential risks along the route the driver may face. Also, the risk map may be updated based on information collected from a sensor coupled to the vehicle or located at the road segment to reflect actual, real-time risk scores calculated using an equation for providing a risk score for a particular driver driving a particular vehicle on a particular road segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Mark Slusar, Regina Madigan, Timothy W.
