Methods, apparatuses and computer program products for identifying duplicate travel

An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:

• detect items of vehicle telematics data captured from a telematics device affixed to a vehicle, wherein the vehicle telematics data comprises location coordinates of the vehicle, and the location coordinates are indicative of the vehicle traversing a travel path associated with a route;
• identify a plurality of street segments representing a plurality of streets;
• determine a distance between each street segment of the plurality of street segment and at least a portion of the location coordinates;
• based at least in part on the distance being within a distance threshold between a first street segment of the plurality of street segments and one or more location coordinates of the location coordinates, associate the travel path with the first street segment, wherein associating the travel path with the first street segment indicates that the vehicle is traveling along or has traveled along the first street segment;
• based at least in part on associating the travel path with the first street segment, cause a superimposition, to a display device, of highlighted visible indicia over the first street segment, wherein the highlighted visible indicia indicates that the first street segment has been traversed multiple times during a predefined time period, and the highlighted visible indicia corresponds to one or more travel inefficiencies;
• and
• based at least in part on causing the superimposition of the highlighted visible indicia over the first street segment, cause a modification of the route.

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, that when executed by at least one computer processor, perform operations comprising:

• detecting one or more items of vehicle telematics data captured from a telematics device affixed to a vehicle, wherein the vehicle telematics data comprises location coordinates of the vehicle, and the location coordinates are indicative of the vehicle traversing a travel path;
• identifying a plurality of street segments representing a plurality of streets;
• determining a distance between each street segment of the plurality of street segments and at least a portion of the location coordinates;
• based at least in part on the distance being within a distance threshold between a first street segment of the plurality of street segments and one or more location coordinates of the location coordinates, associating the travel path with the first street segment, wherein associating the travel path with the first street segment indicates that the vehicle is traveling along or has traveled along the first street segment;
• and
• based at least in part on associating the travel path with the first street segment, causing superimposition, to a display device, of highlighted visible indicia over the first street segment, wherein the highlighted visible indicia indicates that the first street segment has been traversed multiple times during a predefined time period, and the highlighted visible indicia corresponds to one or more travel inefficiencies.
