Systems and methods for controlling data transmission from vehicles

A method comprising:

• identifying, with a processor, a potential abnormality within data that is part of a data transmission from a vehicle to a server external to the vehicle, the data comprising at least one of vehicle information or driver information;
• adjusting, with the processor, after identifying the potential abnormality, an amount of data in the data transmission from the vehicle to the server;
• transmitting, with the processor, a first indicator from the vehicle to the server, the first indicator configured to indicate to the server at least one of the potential abnormality or an adjustment of the data transmission;
• receiving, with the processor, a second indicator from the server, the second indicator configured to indicate to the processor at least one of how to adjust the amount of data in the data transmission from the vehicle to the server or to maintain the amount of data in the data transmission from the vehicle to the server;
• and
• adjusting or maintaining, with the processor, based on the second indicator, at least one of the amount of data in the data transmission from the vehicle to server or content of the data transmission from the vehicle to the server.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory and to:
• receive a data transmission from a vehicle, the data transmission comprising data that comprises at least one of vehicle information, driver information, or environmental information;
• receive a first indicator from the vehicle, the first indicator configured to indicate at least one of a potential abnormality within the data or that the amount of data in the data transmission has been adjusted based on an identification of the potential abnormality within the data;
• analyze, based on the identification of the potential abnormality within the data, at least a portion of the data of the data transmission that was received prior to the first indicator and determine, based on the analysis of the at least a portion of the data transmission, whether the potential abnormality is valid data;
• and
• send a second indicator to the vehicle, the second indicator configured to instruct the vehicle, based on the determination of whether the potential abnormality is valid data, how to adjust or maintain at least one of the amount of data in the data transmission from the vehicle or content of the data transmission from the vehicle to the server.

• and
• sending, with the processor, a second indicator to the vehicle, the second indictor configured to instruct the vehicle, based on the determination of whether the potential abnormality is valid data, how to adjust or maintain at least one of the amount of data in the data transmission from the vehicle or content of the data transmission from the vehicle to the server.
