Abstract
An example operation may include one or more of receiving, at a server, first data from at least one sensor associated with a transport wherein the first data contains at least one condition of the transport, receiving a second data from the server and the second data contains at least one review of a user, determining a rating of the user based on the first data and the second data, receiving a query from another server relating to the rating of the user, sending a response containing the rating, and performing an action, by the another server, based on the rating.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a memory configured to store a user profile of a transport;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive sensor data captured by at least one sensor of the transport while the transport is in use during a predetermined period;
- receive a scanned image of a body of the transport from one or more of a laser scanner and an infrared scanner wherein the scanned image is captured after the transport is no longer in use and after the predetermined period;
- determine, whether the body of the transport is damaged based on a comparison of the scanned image of the body of the transport to a previously captured scanned image of the body of transport captured before the predetermined period based on one or more predefined depression thresholds of the scanned image as compared to the previously captured scanned image to identify exterior transport body damage that when exceeded designates the body of the transport damaged, wherein one of the one or more depression thresholds defines a depth measurement distance required to declare damage to the transport;
- determine the one depression threshold has been satisfied by a comparison of a depth measurement of the scanned image of the body of the transport to a depth measurement of the previously captured scanned image of the body of the transport being above the depth measurement distance;
- declare the damage to the transport based on the depth measurement distance of the one depression threshold being satisfied;
- and
- modify a rating value of the user profile based on the determination by a deduction of points based on the detected exterior transport body damage, wherein the rating value is applied to the transport to create a record of transport damages.

A method, comprising
- receiving sensor data captured by at least one sensor of a transport while the transport is in use during a predetermined period;
- receiving a scanned image of a body of the transport from one or more of a laser scanner and an infrared scanner wherein the scanned image is captured after the transport is no longer in use and after the predetermined period;
- determining, whether the body of the transport is damaged based on a comparison of the scanned image of the body of the transport to a previously captured scanned image of the body of transport captured before the predetermined period based on one or more predefined depression thresholds of the scanned image as compared to the previously captured scanned image to identify exterior transport body damage that when exceeded designates the body of the transport damaged, wherein one of the one or more depression thresholds defines a depth measurement distance required to declare damage to the transport;
- determining the one depression threshold has been satisfied by a comparison of a depth measurement of the scanned image of the body of the transport to a depth measurement of the previously captured scanned image of the body of the transport being above the depth measurement distance;
- declaring the damage to the transport based on the depth measurement distance of the one depression threshold being satisfied;
- and
- modifying a rating value of a user profile based on the determination by a deduction of points based on the detected exterior transport body damage, wherein the rating value is applied to the transport to create a record of transport damages.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving sensor data captured by at least one sensor of a transport while the transport is in use during a predetermined period;
- receiving a scanned image of a body of the transport from one or more of a laser scanner and an infrared scanner wherein the scanned image is captured after the transport is no longer in use and after the predetermined period;
- determining, whether the body of the transport is damaged based on a comparison of the scanned image of the body of the transport to a previously captured scanned image of the body of transport captured before the predetermined period based on one or more predefined depression thresholds of the scanned image as compared to the previously captured scanned image to identify exterior transport body damage that when exceeded designates the body of the transport damaged, wherein one of the one or more depression thresholds defines a depth measurement distance required to declare damage to the transport;
- determining the one depression threshold has been satisfied by a comparison of a depth measurement of the scanned image of the body of the transport to a depth measurement of the previously captured scanned image of the body of the transport being above the depth measurement distance;
- declaring the damage to the vehicle based on the depth measurement distance of the one depression threshold being satisfied;
- and
- modifying a rating value of a user profile based on the determination by a deduction of points based on the detected exterior transport body damage, wherein the rating value is applied to the transport to create a record of transport damages.
