Systems and methods for identifying a vehicle asset pairing

A method for identifying a vehicle asset pairing, the method comprising operating at least one processor to:

• receive telematics data, the telematics data comprising geospatial data associated with a plurality of vehicle assets;
• identify, using the geospatial data, one or more positions of each of the plurality of vehicle assets reported within a selected timeframe;
• define a search zone based on a selected reported position of a selected vehicle asset, the search zone defined using a hierarchical geospatial indexing system;
• identify one or more candidate vehicle asset pairings, each candidate vehicle asset pairing being between the selected vehicle asset and a candidate vehicle asset having at least one reported position located within the search zone;
• identify, if the candidate vehicle asset has two or more reported positions within the search zone, a first reported position and a second reported position of the candidate vehicle asset;
• generate an interpolated position of the candidate vehicle asset based on the first reported position and the second reported position thereof that is most proximate the selected reported position of the selected vehicle asset for each candidate vehicle asset pairing;
• and
• identify the vehicle asset pairing based at least in part on a distance of the interpolated position of the candidate vehicle asset from the selected reported position of the selected vehicle asset of each candidate vehicle asset pairing.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon executable by at least one processor to implement a method for identifying a vehicle asset pairing, the method comprising operating at least one processor to:

• receive telematics data, the telematics data comprising geospatial data associated with a plurality of vehicle assets;
• identify, using the geospatial data, one or more positions of each of the plurality of vehicle assets reported within a selected timeframe;
• define a search zone based on a selected reported position of a selected vehicle asset, the search zone defined using a hierarchical geospatial indexing system;
• identify one or more candidate vehicle asset pairings, each candidate vehicle asset pairing being between the selected vehicle asset and a candidate vehicle asset having at least one reported position located within the search zone;
• identify, if the candidate vehicle asset has two or more reported positions within the search zone, a first reported position and a second reported position of the candidate vehicle asset;
• generate an interpolated position of the candidate vehicle asset based on the first reported position and the second reported position thereof that is most proximate the selected reported position of the selected vehicle asset for each candidate vehicle asset pairing;
• and
• identify the vehicle asset pairing based at least in part on a distance of the interpolated position of the candidate vehicle asset from the selected reported position of the selected vehicle asset of each candidate vehicle asset pairing.
