Abstract

A management server system may obtain data associated with a vehicle. The management server system may obtain the data from a plurality of data sources associated with the vehicle. The data may include a plurality of subsets of data that each correspond to correspond to a particular driver assignment category. Each subset of data may identify a particular persona as a driver of a vehicle. The management server system may determine a driver of the vehicle based on each subset of data and a hierarchical plurality of driver assignment categories. Based on the determination of the driver of the vehicle, the management server system can dynamically map the driver to a particular event. The management server system may generate a user interface identifying the driver and the event.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A management server system comprising:

a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith;
and
one or more processors configured to execute the program instructions to cause the management server system to:
obtain sensor data from a sensor associated with a vehicle, wherein the sensor data is associated with a first driver assignment category;
obtain non-sensor data associated with the vehicle, wherein the non-sensor data is associated with a second driver assignment category;
identify a first persona associated with the vehicle based on the sensor data;
identify a second persona associated with the vehicle based on the non-sensor data, wherein the first persona is different than the second persona;
determine a first priority associated with the first persona based on the first driver assignment category and a second priority associated with the second persona based on the second driver assignment category;
identify data associated with a trip of the vehicle, the trip including a first portion having a first length and a second portion having a second length;
based on one or more of the sensor data and the non-sensor data, associating the first portion of the trip with the first persona and the second portion of the trip with the second persona;
compare the first length with the second length;
based at least on:
the first priority,
the second priority, and
the comparison of the first and second lengths,
assign the trip to one of the first or second personas associated with a longer trip length
obtain additional sensor data associated with the vehicle;
determine an occurrence of an event associated with the vehicle based on the additional sensor data;
dynamically associate the assigned first or second persona to the event
determining a time frame including a time of the determined event;
cause display of a user interface displaying information associated with the time frame, the user interface including:
a video pane showing video from a dashcam associated with the vehicle;
and
a time series graph showing metadata associated with the vehicle or the assigned persona, overlaid with a slider indicating a particular time within the determined time frame;
and
wherein the video and the slider are synchronized such that as the video plays, the slider advances on the time series graph.

A management server system comprising:

a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith;
and
one or more processors configured to execute the program instructions to cause the management server system to:
obtain first data associated with a vehicle, wherein the first data is associated with a first driver assignment category;
obtain second data associated with the vehicle, wherein the second data is associated with a second driver assignment category;
identify a first persona associated with the vehicle based on the first data;
identify a second persona associated with the vehicle based on the second data;
determine a driver of the vehicle corresponds to the first persona based on a hierarchical plurality of driver assignment categories;
and
dynamically assign the first persona to the vehicle based on determining the driver of the vehicle corresponds to the first persona;
determining an occurrence of an event associated with the vehicle based on additional sensor data;
determining a time frame including a time of the determined event;
cause display of a user interface displaying information associated with the time frame, the user interface including:
a video pane showing video from a dashcam associated with the vehicle;
and
a time series graph showing metadata associated with the vehicle or the assigned persona, overlaid with a slider indicating a particular time within the determined time frame;
and
wherein the video and the slider are synchronized such that as the video plays, the slider advances on the time series graph.
