Management and upload of ride monitoring data of rides of a mobility service provider

A system for monitoring rides in a vehicle, the system comprising:

• at least one sensor arranged in the vehicle and configured to capture sensor data during the rides;
• a first transceiver configured to communicate with a remote server;
• a non-volatile memory configured to store data;
• and
• a processor operatively connected to the at least one sensor, the first transceiver, and the memory, the processor being configured to:
• receive sensor data from the at least one sensor captured during each of a plurality of rides in which a driver of the vehicle picks up a rider at a pickup location and drives the rider to a drop-off destination;
• store, in the non-volatile memory, the sensor data captured during each of the plurality of rides, the stored sensor data for each respective ride of the plurality of rides being annotated with metadata identifying at least one of (i) a time at which the respective ride was requested by the rider, (ii) a time at which the rider was picked up at the pickup location, and (iii) a time at which the rider was dropped off at the drop-off destination;
• implement, on the non-volatile memory, at least one ring buffer configured to manage storage and deletion of the sensor data captured by the at least one sensor, each of the at least one ring buffer being configured to store a respective amount of sensor data corresponding to a respective duration of time;
• implement, on the non-volatile memory, a data structure configured to store sensor data that is not to be deleted for at least a predetermined amount of time, the predetermined amount of time exceeding the respective duration of time of the at least one ring buffer;
• move, in response to (i) one of a defined set of triggering events occurring and (ii) sensor data being unable to be uploaded to the remote server, a portion of the sensor data captured during a respective ride from the at least one ring buffer to the data structure;
• upload, via the first transceiver, the portion of the sensor data captured during the respective ride of the plurality of rides to the remote server in response to the one of the defined set of triggering events occurring;
• and
• in response to successful upload of the portion of the sensor data captured during the respective ride to the remote server, remove the portion of the sensor data from data structure.
