US 2022/0176974 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING TELEMATICS DATA TO DETERMINE A DRIVER ON A SHARED TRIP

Abstract

A technical design solution for classifying users as potential drivers traveling in a vehicle based upon a combination of gathered data during a shared trip and historical data. Data gathered would include, at the least, overlapping time and distance of users to be classified as potential drivers. Shared trip scenarios, where a driver is identified, include (1) two or more users share a complete trip from beginning to end; (2) two or more users share the beginning of a trip, at least one user is dropped off, thereby ending their trip, and the other user continues driving; (3) two or more users share the end of a trip, where at least one user is picked up during the shared trip; and (4) one user picks up at least one other user during a trip, thereby creating a shared trip, and drops off the at least one other user to a different location, then heads to a final location. Driver identification is performed based upon the real-time gathering of data, which is then analyzed based upon and in view of historical data.

Claims21

Dependent claims

-20. (canceled)

A computing device for driver identification, the computing device comprising:

one or more processors;
and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
determine whether a first trip by a first user and a second trip by a second user are a shared trip within a vehicle based at least in part upon a first plurality of measurements from a first user device during the first trip and a second plurality of measurements from a second user device during the second trip, wherein determining whether the first trip and the second trip are the shared trip within the vehicle includes determining whether the first user and the second user are in the vehicle together during the shared trip;
and
if the first user and the second user have been determined to be in the vehicle together during the shared trip, determine whether the first user or the second user is a driver of the vehicle during the shared trip based at least in part upon the first plurality of measurements and the second plurality of measurements.

3 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for driver identification, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

determine whether a first trip by a first user and a second trip by a second user are a shared trip within a vehicle based at least in part upon a first plurality of measurements from a first user device during the first trip and a second plurality of measurements from a second user device during the second trip, wherein determining whether the first trip and the second trip are the shared trip within the vehicle includes determining whether the first user and the second user are in the vehicle together during the shared trip;
and
if the first user and the second user have been determined to be in the vehicle together during the shared trip, determine whether the first user or the second user is a driver of the vehicle during the shared trip based at least in part upon the first plurality of measurements and the second plurality of measurements.
