Abstract: A technique is directed to methods and systems for customer accounts association in multilingual environments. The data aggregation system can utilize a machine learning-based algorithm that identifies all the accounts belonging to the same customer based on relevant account information. Inputs can include customer name, customer address, email, phone number, type of industry, or type of fleet. The system utilizes feature creation and a coarse pass to identify likely account pairs, perform account association by preparing an input core dataset, and update the core dataset at a predefined time interval with identified new or changed records.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for updating asset ownership for telematics-enabled machinery. In some embodiments, the updating asset ownership system comprises asset entities that transmit telemetry data. A communication interface of the updating asset ownership system can receive the telemetry data. An asset ownership data store of the updating asset ownership system can be configured to store asset owner data that identify designated owners associated with the asset entities. An asset ownership comparator of the updating asset ownership system can process the received telemetry data. Based on the processing, the asset ownership comparator can update designated owners of asset entities stored in the asset ownership data store.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are described so as to provide more additional information regarding vehicular behavior. In the context of a method, information is received regarding a location of the vehicle at a plurality of instances in time. The plurality of instances in time define a time period. The method also includes determining an environmental condition at the location during the time period and comparing the behavior of the vehicle to that of other vehicles at the location that are also subjected to the environmental condition. Additionally, the method may determine a score for the vehicle in relation to a risk factor based upon the behavior of the vehicle and the comparison to other vehicles at the location that are also subjected to the environmental condition.

Abstract: An approach is provided for determining at least one distribution of a plurality of current values for at least one dynamic content parameter associated with a plurality of points of interest within a predetermined proximity to at least one target point of interest.
