Definitions
- the present embodiments relate generally to telematics data and/or insurance policies. More particularly, the present embodiments relate to performing certain actions, and/or adjusting insurance policies, based upon telematics and/or other data indicative of the behavior of an insured and/or others.
- insurance providers typically rely heavily on eyewitness accounts to determine how an accident occurred (e.g., to determine the cause and the individual(s) at fault). For example, an employee of the insurance provider may learn about the sequence of events leading to an accident by talking to the insured and/or other participants in the accident. As another example, the insurance provider employee may review a police report that, by its nature, typically reflects information garnered by another eyewitness (police officer) observing the accident scene well after the accident occurred, if at all.
- eyewitness e.g., to determine the cause and the individual(s) at fault.
- the insurance provider may obtain inaccurate information, which may in turn cause the insurance provider to incorrectly determine cause/fault, and/or fail to appropriately reflect that cause/fault in future actions (e.g., when adjusting premium levels for an insured involved in the accident, etc.).
- the present embodiments may overcome these and/or other deficiencies.
- telematics and/or other data may be collected and used to determine cause and/or fault of a vehicle accident.
- the data may be gathered from one or more sources, such as mobile devices (e.g., smart phones, smart glasses, smart watches, smart wearable devices, smart contact lenses, and/or other devices capable of wireless communication); smart vehicles; smart vehicle or smart home mounted sensors; third party sensors or sources of data (e.g., other vehicles, public transportation systems, government entities, and/or the Internet); and/or other sources of information.
- the cause and/or fault may be used to handle an insurance claim, for example. More generally, insurance claims, policies, premiums, rates, discounts, rewards, programs, and/or other insurance-related items may be adjusted, generated and/or updated based upon the cause and/or fault as determined from the telematics and/or other collected data.
- a computer-implemented method for facilitating fault determination may comprise (1) collecting, by one or more remote servers associated with an insurance provider, accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver.
- the accident data may include vehicle telematics data, and/or the driver may be associated with an insurance policy issued by the insurance provider.
- the method may also include (2) analyzing, by the one or more remote servers, the accident data; (3) determining, by the one or more remote servers and based upon the analysis of the accident data, fault of the driver for the vehicle accident; (4) using the determined fault of the driver to handle, at the one or more remote servers, an insurance claim associated with the vehicle accident; and/or (5) using the determined fault of the driver to adjust, generate or update, at the one or more remote servers, one or more insurance-related items.
- the one or more insurance-related items may include one or more of (i) parameters of the insurance policy; (ii) a premium; (iii) a rate; (iv) a discount; and/or (v) a reward.
- the method may include additional, less, or alternate actions, including those discussed elsewhere herein.
- a system for facilitating fault determination may comprise one or more processors and one or more memories.
- the one or more memories may store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to (1) collect accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver.
- the accident data may include vehicle telematics data, and/or the driver may be associated with an insurance policy issued by an insurance provider.
- the instructions may also cause the one or more processors to (2) analyze the accident data; (3) determine, based upon the analysis of the accident data, fault of the driver for the vehicle accident; (4) use the determined fault of the driver to handle an insurance claim associated with the vehicle accident; and/or (5) use the determined fault of the driver to adjust, generate or update one or more insurance-related items.
- the one or more insurance-related items may include one or more of (i) parameters of the insurance policy; (ii) a premium; (iii) a rate; (iv) a discount; or (v) a reward.
- the system may include additional, less, or alternate functionality, including that discussed elsewhere herein.
- a computer-implemented method for facilitating accident cause determination may comprise (1) collecting, by one or more remote servers associated with an insurance provider, accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver.
- the accident data may include vehicle telematics data, and/or the driver may be associated with an insurance policy issued by the insurance provider.
- the method may also include (2) analyzing, by the one or more remote servers, the accident data; and/or (3) determining, by the one or more remote servers and based upon the analysis of the accident data, one or more causes of the vehicle accident. At least one of the one or more causes may be assigned or attributed to the driver or an external factor.
- the method may further include (4) using the one or more causes of the vehicle accident to handle, at the one or more remote servers, an insurance claim associated with the vehicle accident; and/or (5) using the one or more causes of the vehicle accident to adjust, generate or update, at the one or more remote servers, one or more insurance-related items.
- the one or more insurance-related items may include one or more of (i) parameters of the insurance policy; (ii) a premium; (iii) a rate; (iv) a discount; or (v) a reward.

- the telematics and/or other data gathered from the various sources may also, or instead, be used to verify accurate insurance claims, and/or to identify overstated claims and/or buildup.
- the data may verify an insured's account of events, the severity of the accident, the damage to a vehicle, the injuries to passengers riding in the vehicle, and/or other items to ensure that an insured is properly compensated and/or that the insured's insurance claim is properly and efficiently handled.
- Automatic, prompt verification of the veracity of an insurance claim may speed up claim processing, and lead to quicker claim payout monies being issued to an insured.
- the automatic verification of the claim such as by an insurance provider remote server (e.g., server 40 of FIG. 1 ), may also lead to less hassle for the insured in resolving the insurance claim, and/or require less time on the part of the insured in filling out insurance claim-related paperwork or otherwise getting their insurance claim resolved.
- the data collected may be used to verify whether a “hit and run” accident was truly a hit and run, for example.
- telematics and/or other data may be used to determine (i) whether the vehicle was running, or alternatively not in use, at the time of the accident, and/or (ii) whether the location at which the insurance claim indicates that the vehicle was located at the time of the accident is accurate.
- the data may indicate whether the car was parked or not moving, and/or indeed moving (and speed), at the time of the accident. Such information may indicate whether an insurance claim for an insured event is accurate, as opposed to including potential buildup.
- the telematics and/or other data gathered may also indicate the number of persons involved in the accident. For instance, data may indicate or verify that there were five passengers in the vehicle at the time of the accident, as reported by the insured. As another example, the data may reveal that only two passengers were in the vehicle, and not four injured persons as reported in an insurance claim.
- vehicle location may be verified.
- An insurance claim for a hit and run accident may state that the insured vehicle was parked in a certain parking lot or garage at 2 p.m.
- the telematics data gathered (e.g., including GPS data from a mobile device or smart vehicle) may verify the location of the insured vehicle at that time.
- the telematics data gathered may indicate that the insured vehicle was actually located halfway across town at that time. In this manner, the data gathered may be used to verify accurate claims, and not penalize an insured for accurate claim reporting, as well as to detect potential fraudulent and/or inflated claims that may warrant further investigation by an insurance provider.
- the telematics and/or other data gathered may relate to classifying automobile accidents by type and/or estimating a probability of injury to the insured and/or passengers.
- the data gathered may indicate the type of accident, the likely condition of the vehicle after the accident, and/or the likely health of the insured and/or passengers after the accident.

Abstract
In systems and methods for facilitating fault determination, accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver may be collected. The accident data may include vehicle telematics and/or other data, and/or the driver may be associated with an insurance policy. The accident data may analyzed and, based upon the analysis of the accident data, fault (or lack thereof) of the driver, other drivers, road or weather conditions, construction, or other external factors or environment conditions for the vehicle accident may be determined. The determined fault may be used to handle an insurance claim associated with the vehicle accident, and to adjust, generate or update one or more insurance-related items, including (i) parameters of the insurance policy; (ii) a premium; (iii) a rate; (iv) a discount; or (v) a reward. As such, drivers not at a fault for an accident may realize insurance-cost savings and/or may not be unfairly penalized.
Description
- This claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/027,021 (filed Jul. 21, 2014); U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/040,735 (filed Aug. 22, 2014); U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/145,022 (filed Apr. 9, 2015); U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/145,024 (filed Apr. 9, 2015); U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/145,027 (filed Apr. 9, 2015); U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/145,028 (filed Apr. 9, 2015); U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/145,029 (filed Apr. 9, 2015); U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/145,145 (filed Apr. 9, 2015); U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/145,228 (filed Apr. 9, 2015); U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/145,232 (filed Apr. 9, 2015); U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/145,234 (filed Apr. 9, 2015); U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/145,032 (filed Apr. 9, 2015); and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/145,033 (filed Apr. 9, 2015). The entirety of each of the foregoing provisional applications is incorporated by reference herein.
- The present embodiments relate generally to telematics data and/or insurance policies. More particularly, the present embodiments relate to performing certain actions, and/or adjusting insurance policies, based upon telematics and/or other data indicative of the behavior of an insured and/or others.
- During the claims process, insurance providers typically rely heavily on eyewitness accounts to determine how an accident occurred (e.g., to determine the cause and the individual(s) at fault). For example, an employee of the insurance provider may learn about the sequence of events leading to an accident by talking to the insured and/or other participants in the accident. As another example, the insurance provider employee may review a police report that, by its nature, typically reflects information garnered by another eyewitness (police officer) observing the accident scene well after the accident occurred, if at all. As a result, the insurance provider may obtain inaccurate information, which may in turn cause the insurance provider to incorrectly determine cause/fault, and/or fail to appropriately reflect that cause/fault in future actions (e.g., when adjusting premium levels for an insured involved in the accident, etc.).
- The present embodiments may overcome these and/or other deficiencies.
- The present embodiments disclose systems and methods that may relate to the intersection of telematics and insurance. In some embodiments, for example, telematics and/or other data may be collected and used to determine cause and/or fault of a vehicle accident. The data may be gathered from one or more sources, such as mobile devices (e.g., smart phones, smart glasses, smart watches, smart wearable devices, smart contact lenses, and/or other devices capable of wireless communication); smart vehicles; smart vehicle or smart home mounted sensors; third party sensors or sources of data (e.g., other vehicles, public transportation systems, government entities, and/or the Internet); and/or other sources of information. The cause and/or fault may be used to handle an insurance claim, for example. More generally, insurance claims, policies, premiums, rates, discounts, rewards, programs, and/or other insurance-related items may be adjusted, generated and/or updated based upon the cause and/or fault as determined from the telematics and/or other collected data.
- In one aspect, a computer-implemented method for facilitating fault determination may comprise (1) collecting, by one or more remote servers associated with an insurance provider, accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver. The accident data may include vehicle telematics data, and/or the driver may be associated with an insurance policy issued by the insurance provider. The method may also include (2) analyzing, by the one or more remote servers, the accident data; (3) determining, by the one or more remote servers and based upon the analysis of the accident data, fault of the driver for the vehicle accident; (4) using the determined fault of the driver to handle, at the one or more remote servers, an insurance claim associated with the vehicle accident; and/or (5) using the determined fault of the driver to adjust, generate or update, at the one or more remote servers, one or more insurance-related items. The one or more insurance-related items may include one or more of (i) parameters of the insurance policy; (ii) a premium; (iii) a rate; (iv) a discount; and/or (v) a reward. The method may include additional, less, or alternate actions, including those discussed elsewhere herein.
- In another aspect, a system for facilitating fault determination may comprise one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more memories may store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to (1) collect accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver. The accident data may include vehicle telematics data, and/or the driver may be associated with an insurance policy issued by an insurance provider. The instructions may also cause the one or more processors to (2) analyze the accident data; (3) determine, based upon the analysis of the accident data, fault of the driver for the vehicle accident; (4) use the determined fault of the driver to handle an insurance claim associated with the vehicle accident; and/or (5) use the determined fault of the driver to adjust, generate or update one or more insurance-related items. The one or more insurance-related items may include one or more of (i) parameters of the insurance policy; (ii) a premium; (iii) a rate; (iv) a discount; or (v) a reward. The system may include additional, less, or alternate functionality, including that discussed elsewhere herein.
- In yet another aspect, a computer-implemented method for facilitating accident cause determination may comprise (1) collecting, by one or more remote servers associated with an insurance provider, accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver. The accident data may include vehicle telematics data, and/or the driver may be associated with an insurance policy issued by the insurance provider. The method may also include (2) analyzing, by the one or more remote servers, the accident data; and/or (3) determining, by the one or more remote servers and based upon the analysis of the accident data, one or more causes of the vehicle accident. At least one of the one or more causes may be assigned or attributed to the driver or an external factor. The method may further include (4) using the one or more causes of the vehicle accident to handle, at the one or more remote servers, an insurance claim associated with the vehicle accident; and/or (5) using the one or more causes of the vehicle accident to adjust, generate or update, at the one or more remote servers, one or more insurance-related items. The one or more insurance-related items may include one or more of (i) parameters of the insurance policy; (ii) a premium; (iii) a rate; (iv) a discount; or (v) a reward.

FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of an exemplary telematics system 1 on which the exemplary methods described herein may be implemented. The high-level architecture includes both hardware and software applications, as well as various data communications channels for communicating data between the various hardware and software components. The telematics system 1 may be roughly divided into front-end components 2 and back-end components 4. - The front-end components 2 may obtain information regarding a vehicle 8 (e.g., a car, truck, motorcycle, etc.) and/or the surrounding environment. Information regarding the surrounding environment may be obtained by one or more
other vehicles 6, public transportation system components 22 (e.g., a train, a bus, a trolley, a ferry, etc.), infrastructure components 26 (e.g., a bridge, a stoplight, a tunnel, a rail crossing, etc.),smart homes 28 havingsmart home controllers 29, and/or other components communicatively connected to anetwork 30. Information regarding the vehicle 8 may be obtained by a mobile device 10 (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet computer, a special purpose computing device, etc.) and/or a smart vehicle controller 14 (e.g., an on-board computer, a vehicle diagnostic system, a vehicle control system or sub-system, etc.), which may be communicatively connected to each other and/or thenetwork 30. - In some embodiments, telematics data may be generated by and/or received from
sensors 20 associated with the vehicle 8. Such telematics data from thesensors 20 may be received by themobile device 10 and/or thesmart vehicle controller 14, in some embodiments. Other, external sensors 24 (e.g., sensors associated with one or moreother vehicles 6, publictransportation system components 22,infrastructure components 26, and/or smart homes 28) may provide further data regarding the vehicle 8 and/or its environment, in some embodiments. For example, theexternal sensors 24 may obtain information pertaining to other transportation components or systems within the environment of the vehicle 8, and/or information pertaining to other aspect so of that environment. Thesensors 20 and theexternal sensors 24 are described further below, according to some embodiments. - In some embodiments, the
mobile device 10 and/or thesmart vehicle controller 14 may process the sensor data fromsensors 20, and/or other of the front-end components 2 may process the sensor data fromexternal sensors 24. The processed data (and/or information derived therefrom) may then be communicated to the back-end components 4 via thenetwork 30. In other embodiments, the front-end components 2 may communicate the raw sensor data fromsensors 20 and/orexternal sensors 24, and/or other telematics data, to the back-end components 4 for processing. In thin-client embodiments, for example, themobile device 10 and/or thesmart vehicle controller 14 may act as a pass-through communication node for communication with the back-end components 4, with minimal or no processing performed by themobile device 10 and/or thesmart vehicle controller 14. In other embodiments, themobile device 10 and/or thesmart vehicle controller 14 may perform substantial processing of received sensor, telematics, or other data.

Thesmart homes 28 may includesmart home controllers 29 that monitor the local environment of the smart home, which may include sensors (e.g., smoke detectors, radon detectors, door sensors, window sensors, motion sensors, cameras, etc.). In some embodiments, thesmart home controller 29 may include or be communicatively connected to a security system controller for monitoring access and activity within the environment. Thesmart home 28 may further be communicatively connected to thenetwork 30 via alink 36, in some embodiments. - The external data sources may collect data regarding the vehicle 8, a vehicle operator, a user of an insurance program, and/or an insured of an insurance policy. Additionally, or alternatively, the
other vehicles 6, the publictransportation system components 22, theinfrastructure components 26, and/or thesmart homes 28 may collect such data, and provide that data to themobile device 10 and/or thesmart vehicle controller 14 via links not shown inFIG. 1 . - In some embodiments, the front-end components 2 communicate with the back-end components 4 via the
network 30. Thenetwork 30 may include a proprietary network, a secure public internet, a virtual private network and/or one or more other types of networks, such as dedicated access lines, plain ordinary telephone lines, satellite links, cellular data networks, or combinations thereof. In embodiments where thenetwork 30 comprises the Internet, data communications may take place over thenetwork 30 via an Internet communication protocol. - The back-end components 4 may use a
remote server 40 to receive data from the front-end components 2, determine characteristics of vehicle use, determine risk levels, modify insurance policies, and/or perform other processing functions in accordance with any of the methods described herein. In some embodiments, theserver 40 may be associated with an insurance provider, either directly or indirectly. Theserver 40 may include one or more computer processors adapted and configured to execute various software applications and components of the telematics system 1. - The
server 40 may further include adatabase 46, which may be adapted to store data related to the operation of the vehicle 8 and/or other information. As used herein, the term “database” may refer to a single database or other structured data storage, or to a collection of two or more different databases or structured data storage components. Additionally, theserver 40 may be communicatively coupled via thenetwork 30 to one or more data sources, which may include anaccident database 42 and/or athird party database 44. Theaccident database 42 and/orthird party database 44 may be communicatively connected to the network via acommunication link 38. Theaccident database 42 and/or thethird party database 44 may be operated or maintained by third parties, such as commercial vendors, governmental entities, industry associations, nonprofit organizations, or others. - The data stored in the

Prior to storage in thedatabase 46, some of the data may have been uploaded to theserver 40 via thenetwork 30 from themobile device 10 and/or thesmart vehicle controller 14. Additionally, or alternatively, some of the data may have been obtained from additional or external data sources via thenetwork 30. Additionally, or alternatively, some of the data may have been generated by theserver 40. Theserver 40 may store data in thedatabase 46 and/or may access data stored in thedatabase 46 when executing various functions and tasks associated with the methods described herein. - The
server 40 may include acontroller 55 that is operatively connected to thedatabase 46 via alink 56. It should be noted that, while not shown inFIG. 1 , one or more additional databases may be linked to thecontroller 55 in a known manner. For example, separate databases may be used for sensor data, vehicle insurance policy information, and vehicle use information. Thecontroller 55 may include aprogram memory 60, a processor 62 (which may be called a microcontroller or a microprocessor), a random-access memory (RAM) 64, and an input/output (I/O)circuit 66, all of which may be interconnected via an address/data bus 65. It should be appreciated that although only onemicroprocessor 62 is shown, thecontroller 55 may includemultiple microprocessors 62. Similarly, the memory of thecontroller 55 may includemultiple RAMs 64 andmultiple program memories 60. Although the I/O circuit 66 is shown as a single block, it should be appreciated that the I/O circuit 66 may include a number of different types of I/O circuits. TheRAM 64 andprogram memories 60 may be implemented as semiconductor memories, magnetically readable memories, or optically readable memories, for example. Thecontroller 55 may also be operatively connected to thenetwork 30 via alink 35. - The
server 40 may further include a number of software applications stored in aprogram memory 60. The various software applications on theserver 40 may include specific programs, routines, or scripts for performing processing functions associated with the methods described herein. Additionally, or alternatively, the various software application on theserver 40 may include general-purpose software applications for data processing, database management, data analysis, network communication, web server operation, or other functions described herein or typically performed by a server. The various software applications may be executed on the same computer processor or on different computer processors. Additionally, or alternatively, the software applications may interact with various hardware modules that may be installed within or connected to theserver 40. Such modules may implement part of all of the various exemplary methods discussed herein or other related embodiments. - In some embodiments, the
server 40 may be a remote server associated with or operated by or on behalf of an insurance provider. Theserver 40 may be configured to receive, collect, and/or analyze telematics and/or other data in accordance with any of the methods described herein. Theserver 40 may be configured for one-way or two-way wired or wireless communication via thenetwork 30 with a number of telematics and/or other data sources, including theaccident database 42, thethird party database 44, thedatabase 46 and/or the front-end components 2. For example, theserver 40 may be in wireless communication withmobile device 10; insured smart vehicles 8; smart vehicles ofother motorists 6;smart homes 28; present orpast accident database 42;third party database 44 operated by one or more government entities and/or others; publictransportation system components 22 and/or databases associated therewith;smart infrastructure components 26; and/or the Internet. Theserver 40 may be in wired or wireless communications with other sources of data, including those discussed elsewhere herein. - Although the telematics system 1 is shown in
FIG. 1 to include one vehicle 8, onemobile device 10, onesmart vehicle controller 14, oneother vehicle 6, one publictransportation system component 22, oneinfrastructure component 26, onesmart home 28, and oneserver 40, it should be understood that different numbers of each may be utilized. For example, the system 1 may include a plurality ofservers 40 and hundreds or thousands ofmobile devices 10 and/orsmart vehicle controllers 14, all of which may be interconnected via thenetwork 30. Furthermore, the database storage or processing performed by theserver 40 may be distributed among a plurality of servers in an arrangement known as “cloud computing.” This configuration may provide various advantages, such as enabling near real-time uploads and downloads of information as well as periodic uploads and downloads of information. This may in turn support a thin-client embodiment of themobile device 10 orsmart vehicle controller 14 discussed herein. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of an exemplarymobile device 10 and/orsmart vehicle controller 14. Themobile device 10 and/orsmart vehicle controller 14 may include aprocessor 72,display 74,sensor 76,memory 78,power supply 80, wirelessradio frequency transceiver 82,clock 84, microphone and/orspeaker 86, and/or camera orvideo camera 88. In other embodiments, the mobile device and/or smart vehicle controller may include additional, fewer, and/or alternate components. - The
sensor 76 may be able to record audio or visual information. IfFIG. 2 corresponds to themobile device 10, for example, thesensor 76 may be a camera integrated within themobile device 10. Thesensor 76 may alternatively be configured to sense speed, acceleration, directional, fluid, water, moisture, temperature, fire, smoke, wind, rain, snow, hail, motion, and/or other type of condition or parameter, and/or may include a gyro, compass, accelerometer, or any other type of sensor described herein (e.g., any of thesensors 20 described above in connection withFIG. 1 ). Generally, thesensor 76 may be any type of sensor that is currently existing or hereafter developed and is capable of providing information regarding the vehicle 8, the environment of the vehicle 8, and/or a person. - The

Thememory 78 may include instructions for controlling or directing the operation of vehicle equipment that may prevent, detect, and/or mitigate vehicle damage. Thememory 78 may further include instructions for controlling a wireless or wired network of a smart vehicle, and/or interacting withmobile device 10 and remote server 40 (e.g., via the network 30). - The
power supply 80 may be a battery or dedicated energy generator that powers themobile device 10 and/orsmart vehicle controller 14. Thepower supply 80 may harvest energy from the vehicle environment and be partially or completely energy self-sufficient, for example. - The
transceiver 82 may be configured for wireless communication withsensors 20 located about the vehicle 8,other vehicles 6, other mobile devices similar tomobile device 10, and/or other smart vehicle controllers similar tosmart vehicle controller 14. Additionally, or alternatively, thetransceiver 82 may be configured for wireless communication with theserver 40, which may be remotely located at an insurance provider location. - The
clock 84 may be used to time-stamp the date and time that information is gathered or sensed by various sensors. For example, theclock 84 may record the time and date that photographs are taken by thecamera 88, video is captured by thecamera 88, and/or other data is received by themobile device 10 and/orsmart vehicle controller 14. - The microphone and
speaker 86 may be configured for recognizing voice or audio input and/or commands. Theclock 84 may record the time and date that various sounds are collected by the microphone andspeaker 86, such as sounds of windows breaking, air bags deploying, tires skidding, conversations or voices of passengers, music within the vehicle 8, rain or wind noise, and/or other sound heard within or outside of the vehicle 8. - The present embodiments may be implemented without changes or extensions to existing communications standards. The
smart vehicle controller 14 may also include a relay, node, access point, Wi-Fi AP (Access Point), local node, pico-node, relay node, and/or themobile device 10 may be capable of RF (Radio Frequency) communication, for example. Themobile device 10 and/orsmart vehicle controller 14 may include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), LTE (Long Term Evolution), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), and/or other types of components and functionality. - Telematics data, as used herein, may include telematics data, and/or other types of data that have not been conventionally viewed as “telematics data.” The telematics data may be generated by, and/or collected or received from, various sources. For example, the data may include, indicate, and/or relate to vehicle (and/or mobile device) speed; acceleration; braking; deceleration; turning; time; GPS (Global Positioning System) or GPS-derived location, speed, acceleration, or braking information; vehicle and/or vehicle equipment operation; external conditions (e.g., road, weather, traffic, and/or construction conditions); other vehicles or drivers in the vicinity of an accident; vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications; vehicle-to-infrastructure communications; and/or image and/or audio information of the vehicle and/or insured driver before, during, and/or after an accident. The data may include other types of data, including those discussed elsewhere herein. The data may be collected via wired or wireless communication.
- The data may be generated by mobile devices (smart phones, cell phones, lap tops, tablets, phablets, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), computers, smart watches, pagers, hand-held mobile or portable computing devices, smart glasses, smart electronic devices, wearable devices, smart contact lenses, and/or other computing devices); smart vehicles; dash or vehicle mounted systems or original telematics devices; public transportation systems; smart street signs or traffic lights; smart infrastructure, roads, or highway systems (including smart intersections, exit ramps, and/or toll booths); smart trains, buses, or planes (including those equipped with Wi-Fi or hotspot functionality); smart train or bus stations; internet sites; aerial, drone, or satellite images; third party systems or data; nodes, relays, and/or other devices capable of wireless RF (Radio Frequency) communications; and/or other devices or systems that capture image, audio, or other data and/or are configured for wired or wireless communication.
- In some embodiments, the data collected may also derive from police or fire departments, hospitals, and/or emergency responder communications; police reports; municipality information; automated Freedom of Information Act requests; and/or other data collected from government agencies and officials. The data from different sources or feeds may be aggregated.
- The data generated may be transmitted, via wired or wireless communication, to a remote server, such as a remote server and/or other processor(s) associated with an insurance provider. The remote server and/or associated processors may build a database of the telematics and/or other data, and/or otherwise store the data collected.
- The remote server and/or associated processors may analyze the data collected and then perform certain actions and/or issue tailored communications based upon the data, including the insurance-related actions or communications discussed elsewhere herein. The automatic gathering and collecting of data from several sources by the insurance provider, such as via wired or wireless communication, may lead to expedited insurance-related activity, including the automatic identification of insured events, and/or the automatic or semi-automatic processing or adjusting of insurance claims.
- In one embodiment, telematics data may be collected by a mobile device (e.g., smart phone) application. An application that collects telematics data may ask an insured for permission to collect and send data about driver behavior and/or vehicle usage to a remote server associated with an insurance provider. In return, the insurance provider may provide incentives to the insured, such as lower premiums or rates, or discounts. The application for the mobile device may be downloadable off of the internet.
- In some embodiments, the telematics and/or other data generated, collected, determined, received, transmitted, analyzed, or otherwise utilized may relate to biometrics. For example, biometrics data may be used by an insurance provider to push wireless communications to a driver or an insured related to health and/or driving warnings or recommendations. In one aspect, a wearable electronics device may monitor various physical conditions of a driver to determine the physical, mental, and/or emotional condition of the driver, which may facilitate identification of a driver that may have a high risk of accident. Wearable electronics devices may monitor, for example, blood pressure or heart rate. Such data may be remotely gathered by an insurance provider
remote server 40 for insurance-related purposes, such as for automatically generating wireless communications to the insured and/or policy and premium adjustments. - In some embodiments, the telematics and/or other data may indicate a health status of a driver. If biometrics data indicates that an insured is having a heart attack, for example, a recommendation or warning to stop driving and/or go to a hospital may be issued to the insured via the
mobile device 10 or other means, and/or the insurance provider (ormobile device 10 or smart vehicle controller 14) may issue a request for immediate medical assistance. - The biometrics data may indicate the health or status of an insured immediately after an accident has occurred. The biometrics data may be automatically analyzed by the
remote server 40 to determine that an ambulance should be sent to the scene of an accident. In the unfortunate situation that a death and/or a cause of death (e.g, severe auto accident) is indicated (from the telematics or other data, or from emergency responder wireless communication), an insurance provider may remotely receive that information at aremote server 40, and/or automatically begin processing a life insurance policy claim for the insured. - The present embodiments may determine the cause of a vehicle accident from analyzing the telematics and/or other data collected (e.g., any type or types of telematics and/or other data described above in Section I and/or Section II). An accident may be determined to have been fully, primarily, or partially caused by a number of factors, such as weather conditions, road or traffic conditions, construction, human error, technology error, vehicle or vehicle equipment faulty operation, and/or other factors.
- In one aspect, the present embodiments may determine who was at fault (either entirely or partially) for causing a vehicle collision or accident. Mobile devices, smart vehicles, equipment and/or sensors mounted on and/or within a vehicle, and/or roadside or infrastructure systems may detect certain indicia of fault, or perhaps more importantly (from the insured's perspective), a lack of fault. An insured may opt-in to an insurance program that allows an insurance provider to collect telematics and/or other data, and to analyze that data for low- or high-risk driving and/or other behavior (e.g., for purposes of fault determination). The analysis of the data and/or low- or high-risk behavior identified, and/or the determination of fault, may be used to handle an insurance claim, and/or used to lower insurance premiums or rates for the insured, and/or to provide insurance discounts or rewards to the insured, etc.
- Telematics data and/or other types of data may be generated and/or collected by, for example, (i) a mobile device (smart phone, smart glasses, etc.), (ii) cameras mounted on the interior or exterior of an insured (or other) vehicle, (iii) sensors or cameras associated with a roadside system, and/or (iv) other electronic systems, such as those mentioned above, and may be time-stamped. The data may indicate that the driver was driving attentively before, during, and/or after an accident. For instance, the data collected may indicate that a driver was driving alone and/or not talking on a smart phone or texting before, during, and/or after an accident. Responsible or normal driving behavior may be detected and/or rewarded by an insurance provider, such as with lower rates or premiums, or with good driving discounts for the insured.
- Additionally or alternatively, video or audio equipment or sensors may capture images or conversations illustrating that the driver was driving lawfully and/or was generally in good physical condition and calm before the accident. Such information may indicate that the other driver or motorist (for a two-vehicle accident) may have been primarily at fault.
- Conversely, an in-cabin camera or other device may capture images or video indicating that the driver (the insured) or another motorist (e.g., a driver uninsured by the insurance provider) involved in an accident was distracted or drowsy before, during, and/or after an accident. Likewise, erratic behavior or driving, and/or drug or alcohol use by the driver or another motorist, may be detected from various sources and sensors. Telematics data, such as data gathered from the vehicle and/or a mobile device within the vehicle, may also be used to determine that, before or during an accident, one of the drivers was speeding; following another vehicle too closely; and/or had time to react and avoid the accident.
- In addition to human drivers, fault may be assigned to vehicle collision avoidance functionality, such that the insured's insurance premium or rate may not be negatively impacted by faulty technology. The telematics and/or other data collected may include video and/or audio data, and may indicate whether a vehicle, or certain vehicle equipment, operated as designed before, during, and/or after the accident. That data may assist in reconstructing a sequence of events associated with an insured event (e.g., a vehicle collision).
- For instance, the data gathered may relate to whether or not the vehicle software or other collision avoidance functionality operated as it was intended or otherwise designed to operate. Also, a smart vehicle control system or mobile device may use G-force data and/or acoustic information to determine certain events. The data may further indicate whether or not (1) an air bag deployed; (2) the vehicle brakes were engaged; and/or (3) vehicle safety equipment (lights, wipers, turn signals, etc.), and/or other vehicle systems operated properly, before, during, and/or after an accident.
- Fault or blame, whole or partial, may further be assigned to environmental and/or other conditions that were causes of the accident. Weather, traffic, and/or road conditions; road construction; other accidents in the vicinity; and/or other conditions before, during, and/or after a vehicle accident (and in the vicinity of the location of the accident) may be determined (from analysis of the telematics and/or other data collected) to have contributed to causing the accident and/or insured event. A percentage of fault or blame may be assigned to each of the factors that contributed to causing an accident, and/or the severity thereof.
- A sliding deductible and/or rate may depend upon the percentage of fault assigned to the insured. The percent of fault may be determined to be 0% or 50%, for example, which may impact an amount that is paid by the insurance provider for damages and/or an insurance claim.
- The telematics and/or other data gathered from the various sources, such as any type or types of telematics and/or other data described above in Section I and/or Section II (e.g., mobile devices; smart vehicles; sensors or cameras mounted in or on an insured vehicle or a vehicle associated with another motorist; biometric devices; public transportation systems or other roadside cameras; aerial or satellite images; etc.), may facilitate recreating the series of events that led to an accident. The data gathered may be used by investigative services associated with an insurance provider to determine, for a vehicle accident, (1) an accident cause and/or (2) lack of fault and/or fault, or a percentage of fault, that is assigned or attributed to each of the drivers involved. The data gathered may also be used to identify one or more non-human causes of the accident, such as road construction, or weather, traffic, and/or road conditions.
- A. Time-Stamped Sequence of Events
- The series or sequence of events may facilitate establishing that an insured had no, or minimal, fault in causing a vehicle accident. Such information may lead to lower premiums or rates for the insured, and/or no change in insurance premiums or rates for the insured, due to the accident. Proper fault determination may also allow multiple insurance providers to assign proper risk to each driver involved in an accident, and adjust their respective insurance premiums or rates accordingly such that good driving behavior is not improperly penalized.
- In one aspect, audio and/or video data may be recorded. To facilitate accurate reconstruction of the sequence of events, the audio and video data may capture time-stamped sound and images, respectively. Sound and visual data may be associated with and/or indicate, for example, vehicle braking; vehicle speed; vehicle turning; turn signal, window wiper, head light, and/or brake light normal or faulty operation; windows breaking; air bags deploying; and/or whether the vehicle or vehicle equipment operated as designed, for each vehicle involved in a vehicle accident or other insured event.
- B. Virtual Accident Reconstruction
- The telematics and/or other data gathered may facilitate accident reconstruction, and an accident scene or series of events may be recreated. As noted above, from the series of events leading up to, during, and/or after the accident, fault (or a percentage of fault) may be assigned to an insured and/or another motorist. The data gathered may be viewed as accident forensic data, and/or may be applied to assign fault or blame to one or more drivers, and/or to one or more external conditions.
- For example, the telematics and/or other data gathered may indicate weather, traffic, road construction, and/or other conditions. The data gathered may facilitate scene reconstructions, such as graphic presentations on a display of a virtual map. The virtual map may include a location of an accident; areas of construction; areas of high or low traffic; and/or areas of bad weather (rain, ice, snow, etc.), for example.
- The virtual map may indicate a route taken by a vehicle or multiple vehicles involved in an accident. A timeline of events, and/or movement of one or more vehicles, may be depicted via, or superimposed upon, the virtual map. As a result, a graphical or virtual moving or animated representation of the events leading up to, during, and/or after the accident may be generated.
- The virtual representation of the vehicle accident may facilitate (i) fault, or percentage of fault, assignment to one or more drivers; and/or (ii) blame, or percentage of blame, assignment to one or more external conditions, such as weather, traffic, and/or construction. The assignments of fault and/or blame, or lack thereof, may be applied to handling various insurance claims associated with the vehicle accident, such as claims submitted by an insured or other motorists. The insured may be insured by an insurance provider, and the other motorists may be insured by the same or another insurance provider. The assignments of fault and/or blame, or lack thereof, may lead to appropriate adjustments to the insurance premiums or rates for the insured and/or the other motorists to reflect the cause or causes of the accident determined from the data collected.
- The virtual representation of the vehicle accident may account for several vehicles involved in the accident. The sequence of events leading up to and including the accident may include analysis of the telematics and/or other data to determine or estimate what each of several vehicles and/or respective drivers did (or did not) do prior to, during, and/or after the accident.
- As an example, voice data from using a smart phone to place a telephone call before or during an accident may indicate a distracted driver. As another example, vehicle sensors may detect seat belt usage, such as seat belt usage before or during an accident, and/or the frequency or amount of seat belt usage by a specific driver. The data may reveal the number of children or other passengers in a vehicle before or during an accident.
- Moreover, GPS (Global Positioning System) location and speed data from several vehicles may be collected. Other vehicle data may also be collected, such as data indicating whether (i) turn signals were used; (ii) head lights were on; (iii) the gas or brake pedal for a vehicle was pressed or depressed; and/or (iv) a vehicle was accelerating, decelerating, braking, maneuvering, turning, in its respective lane, and/or changing lanes.
- Infrastructure data, such as data from public transportation systems and/or smart traffic lights, may also be collected. Thus, for each vehicle accident or insured event, a unique combination of data may be gathered at the insurance provider remote server (e.g.,
server 40 ofFIG. 1 ) and then analyzed to determine a most likely series of events leading up to the insured event. - The telematics and/or other data gathered from the various sources (e.g., any type or types of telematics and/or other data described above in Section I and/or Section II) may also, or instead, be used to verify accurate insurance claims, and/or to identify overstated claims and/or buildup. The data may verify an insured's account of events, the severity of the accident, the damage to a vehicle, the injuries to passengers riding in the vehicle, and/or other items to ensure that an insured is properly compensated and/or that the insured's insurance claim is properly and efficiently handled.
- Automatic, prompt verification of the veracity of an insurance claim may speed up claim processing, and lead to quicker claim payout monies being issued to an insured. The automatic verification of the claim, such as by an insurance provider remote server (e.g.,
server 40 ofFIG. 1 ), may also lead to less hassle for the insured in resolving the insurance claim, and/or require less time on the part of the insured in filling out insurance claim-related paperwork or otherwise getting their insurance claim resolved. - The data collected may be used to verify whether a “hit and run” accident was truly a hit and run, for example. For “hit and run” accident claims, telematics and/or other data may be used to determine (i) whether the vehicle was running, or alternatively not in use, at the time of the accident, and/or (ii) whether the location at which the insurance claim indicates that the vehicle was located at the time of the accident is accurate. The data may indicate whether the car was parked or not moving, and/or indeed moving (and speed), at the time of the accident. Such information may indicate whether an insurance claim for an insured event is accurate, as opposed to including potential buildup.
- The telematics and/or other data gathered may also indicate the number of persons involved in the accident. For instance, data may indicate or verify that there were five passengers in the vehicle at the time of the accident, as reported by the insured. As another example, the data may reveal that only two passengers were in the vehicle, and not four injured persons as reported in an insurance claim.
- As another example, and as noted above, vehicle location may be verified. An insurance claim for a hit and run accident may state that the insured vehicle was parked in a certain parking lot or garage at 2 p.m. The telematics data gathered (e.g., including GPS data from a mobile device or smart vehicle) may verify the location of the insured vehicle at that time. Alternatively, the telematics data gathered may indicate that the insured vehicle was actually located halfway across town at that time. In this manner, the data gathered may be used to verify accurate claims, and not penalize an insured for accurate claim reporting, as well as to detect potential fraudulent and/or inflated claims that may warrant further investigation by an insurance provider.
- A. Estimating Likely Damage Associated with Insured Event
- The telematics and/or other data gathered may relate to classifying automobile accidents by type and/or estimating a probability of injury to the insured and/or passengers. The data gathered may indicate the type of accident, the likely condition of the vehicle after the accident, and/or the likely health of the insured and/or passengers after the accident. The data may further indicate the veracity of an insurance claim to facilitate prompt and accurate handling of an insurance claim submitted by an insured for an insured event.
- For a severe accident, major vehicle repair work and/or medical bills for the passengers involved in the accident may be anticipated or expected. For instances where the data indicates a severe accident, the insurance provider may quickly verify the associated insurance claims. Subsequently, the insurance claims may be promptly handled and the insured may receive prompt payment.
- On the other hand, for a minor accident, major vehicle repair work or extensive medical bills may not be anticipated or expected, and insurance claims for such may indicate potential buildup. As an example, a request for back surgery resulting from a minor collision may be indicative of an inflated claim, and may be flagged for further investigation by the insurance provider.
- B. Police Report Information
- In one embodiment, data pertinent to an insured event that is generated by government officials may be collected at an insurance provider remote server (e.g.,
server 40 ofFIG. 1 ). Police report information may be collected automatically (e.g., with the permission of an insured). The police report information may have information related to the cause of an insured event (e.g., vehicle accident and/or fire losses, including home fire losses). The police report information may include a series of events leading up to the insured event, witness names, and/or other information useful to handling insurance claims. The police report information may be automatically scanned, or otherwise collected and stored in a database or other memory associated with the insurance provider. - Data from the governmental bodies may also be acquired through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests that may provide the public with access to public records, including police or accident reports. The FOIA requests may be automatically generated and/or submitted by an insurance provider remote server (e.g.,
server 40 ofFIG. 1 ) once an insured event is detected/determined to have occurred from the telematics and/or other data collected, and/or analyzed at the insurance provider remote server. Additionally or alternatively, the FOIA requests may be automatically generated and/or submitted once an insurance claim is received from an insured. The public records may facilitate determining accurate insurance claims and/or verifying insurance claims submitted, leading to timely processing. -
FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary computer-implementedmethod 100 for facilitating fault determination for a vehicle accident. In some embodiments, themethod 100 may be implemented in whole or in part by one or more components of the system 1 depicted inFIG. 1 . For example, themethod 100 may be implemented by one or more servers remote from the components (e.g., sensors, vehicles, mobile devices, etc.) sourcing telematics data, such as the server 40 (e.g., processor(s) 62 of theserver 40 when executing instructions stored in theprogram memory 60 of the server 40) or another server not shown inFIG. 1 . - The
method 100 may include collecting accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver (block 102). The driver may be associated with an insurance policy issued by the insurance provider (e.g., an owner of the policy, or another individual listed on the policy). The accident data may include telematics data, and possibly other data, collected from one or more sources. For example, the accident data may include data associated with or generated by one or more mobile devices (e.g.,mobile device 10 ofFIGS. 1 and 2 ); an insured vehicle or a computer system of the insured vehicle (e.g., vehicle 8 orsmart vehicle controller 14 ofFIGS. 1 and 2 , or one or more sensors mounted on the vehicle); a vehicle other than the insured vehicle (e.g.,vehicle 6 ofFIG. 1 ); vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication (e.g., communications between vehicle 8 andvehicle 6 inFIG. 1 ); and/or roadside equipment or infrastructure located near a location of the vehicle accident (e.g.,infrastructure components 26 ofFIG. 1 ). Generally, the accident data may include any one or more of the types of data discussed above in Section I and/or II (and/or other suitable types of data), and may be collected according to any of the techniques discussed above in Section I and/or II (and/or other suitable techniques). The accident data may have been generated by the respective source(s), and/or collected, before, during and/or after the accident. - The
method 100 may also include analyzing any or all of the collected accident data (block 104). As shown inFIG. 3 , for example, insured driver behavior and/or acuity data may be analyzed (block 104A), road, weather, construction, and/or traffic conditions data may be analyzed (block 104B), and/or other vehicle and/or other driver behavior or action data may be analyzed (block 104C). As a more specific example, driver acuity data (e.g., phone usage data) collected from the insured's vehicle and/or mobile device may be analyzed to determine precisely when, in relation to the time of the accident, the insured was or was not likely distracted (e.g., talking on the phone). As another example, weather data (e.g., collected by a mobile device or vehicle-mounted camera, or from a third party server) may be analyzed to determine weather conditions, such as rain, snow or fog, during and/or just prior to the accident. As yet another example, other driver behavior data (e.g., collected by a sensor mounted on the insured's vehicle, or a roadside camera or other sensor, etc.) may be analyzed to determine the speed, direction, lane usage, etc., of one or more drivers other than the insured. - In some embodiments, other data is also, or instead, analyzed at
block 104. For example, data pertaining to other vehicle accidents occurring at the same location (e.g., a particular intersection) may be analyzed. Such an analysis may indicate that the street configuration, or another characteristic, of the accident location is likely at least a partial cause of the accident, for example. - The
method 100 may also include determining, based upon the analysis of the accident data at block 104 (e.g., at one or more ofblocks 104A through 104C), fault of the driver for the vehicle accident (blocks 106, 108). As seen inFIG. 3 , for example, the fault for the driver (e.g., the insured) and/or for another driver may be compared or otherwise analyzed (block 106), and then assigned to the respective individuals for insurance purposes (block 108). The fault may be determined as one or more binary indicators (e.g., “at fault” or “not at fault”), percentages (e.g., “25% responsible”), ratios or fractions, and/or any other suitable indicator(s) or measure(s) of fault. In some embodiments and/or scenarios, fault for a first individual is implicitly determined based upon the fault that is explicitly determined for another individual (e.g., an insured may implicitly be determined to have 0% fault if another driver is explicitly determined to be 100% at fault). - The
method 100 may also include using the fault determined atblocks - The
method 100 may also include using the fault determined atblocks - In other embodiments, the
method 100 may include additional, fewer, or alternate actions as compared to those shown inFIG. 3 , including any of those discussed elsewhere herein. For example, themethod 100 may further include transmitting information indicative of the adjusted, generated, or updated insurance-related items to a mobile device associated with the driver (or another individual associated with the insurance policy), such asmobile device 10 ofFIG. 1 , to be displayed on the mobile device for review, modification, or approval by the driver or other individual. - As can be seen from the above discussion, the
method 100 may enable fault to be more reliably and/or accurately determined with respect to a vehicle accident, which may in turn allow more accurate and efficient claim handling, and/or more accurate and efficient adjustment, generation and/or updating of insurance-related items. Moreover, components in the example system 1 may complete their tasks more quickly and/or efficiently, and/or the resource usage or consumption of components in the example system 1 may be reduced. For instance, a claim associate may need to initiate or receive fewer communications with an insured (e.g., viamobile device 10 and/or network 30) and/or other individuals, and/or theprocessor 62 may consume less time and/or fewer processing cycles in handling a claim, if the data collected from some or all of the sources shown in front-end components 2 ofFIG. 1 is complete or informative enough to avoid the need for extensive follow-up investigation. - In one aspect, a computer-implemented method of accident cause and/or fault determination may be provided. The method may include (1) collecting or receiving telematics and/or other data at or via a remote server associated with an insurance provider, the telematics and/or other data being associated with a vehicle accident involving a specific driver and/or an insured. The insured may own an insurance policy issued by the insurance provider, and/or the telematics and/or other data may be gathered before, during, and/or after the vehicle accident. The method may include (2) analyzing the telematics and/or other data at and/or via the remote server; (3) determining, at and/or via the remote server, fault or a percentage of fault of the vehicle accident that is assigned or attributed to the specific driver and/or the insured from the analysis of the telematics and/or other data; (4) using the fault or percentage of fault that is assigned or attributed to the specific driver and/or the insured to handle and/or address, at and/or via the remote server, an insurance claim associated with the vehicle accident; and/or (5) using the fault or percentage of fault that is assigned or attributed to the specific driver and/or the insured to adjust, generate, and/or update, at and/or via the remote server, an insurance policy, premium, rate, discount, and/or reward for the specific driver and/or the insured. The method may include additional, fewer, or alternate actions, including those discussed elsewhere herein.
- For instance, the method may further include transmitting information related to an adjusted, generated, and/or updated insurance policy, premium, rate, discount, and/or reward from the remote server to a mobile device associated with the specific driver and/or insured to facilitate presenting, on a display of the mobile device, all or a portion of the adjusted, generated, and/or updated insurance policy, premium, rate, discount, and/or reward to the specific driver and/or insured for review, modification, and/or approval.
- Analyzing the telematics and/or other data at the remote server to determine fault or a percentage of fault of the vehicle accident may involve analysis of driver behavior and/or acuity before, during, and/or after the vehicle accident using the telematics and/or other data received or collected. Additionally or alternatively, analyzing the telematics and/or other data at the remote server to determine fault or a percentage of fault of the vehicle accident may involve analysis of road, weather, traffic, and/or construction conditions associated with a location of the vehicle accident before, during, and/or after the vehicle accident using the telematics and/or other data received or collected.
- Analyzing the telematics and/or other data at the remote server to determine fault or a percentage of fault of the vehicle accident may also involve analysis of behavior and/or actions taken by another driver other than the insured that is involved with the vehicle accident, and/or other vehicle accidents that occurred at the location of the accident, such as at a busy intersection.
- The telematics and/or other data may include data associated with, or generated by, mobile devices, such as smart phones, smart glasses, and/or smart wearable electronic devices capable of wireless communication. Additionally or alternatively, the telematics and/or other data may include data associated with, or generated by, an insured vehicle or a computer system of the insured vehicle. The telematics and/or other data may further include data associated with, or generated by, (i) a vehicle other than the insured vehicle; (ii) vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication; and/or (iii) road side equipment or infrastructure located near a location of the vehicle accident.

FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary computer-implementedmethod 200 of accident or accident scene reconstruction for a vehicle accident. In some embodiments, themethod 100 may be implemented in whole or in part by one or more components of the system 1 depicted inFIG. 1 . For example, themethod 200 may be implemented by one or more servers remote from the components (e.g., sensors, vehicles, mobile devices, etc.) sourcing telematics data, such as the server 40 (e.g., processor(s) 62 of theserver 40 when executing instructions stored in theprogram memory 60 of the server 40) or another server not shown inFIG. 1 . - The
method 200 may include collecting accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver (block 202). The driver may be associated with an insurance policy issued by the insurance provider (e.g., an owner of the policy, or another individual listed on the policy). The accident data may include telematics data, and possibly other data, collected from one or more sources. For example, the accident data may include data associated with or generated by one or more mobile devices (e.g.,mobile device 10 ofFIGS. 1 and 2 ); an insured vehicle or a computer system of the insured vehicle (e.g., vehicle 8 orsmart vehicle controller 14 ofFIGS. 1 and 2 , or one or more sensors mounted on the vehicle); a vehicle other than the insured vehicle (e.g.,vehicle 6 ofFIG. 1 ); vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication (e.g., communications between vehicle 8 andvehicle 6 inFIG. 1 ); and/or roadside equipment or infrastructure located near a location of the vehicle accident (e.g.,infrastructure components 26 ofFIG. 1 ). Generally, the accident data may include any one or more of the types of data discussed above in Section I and/or II (and/or other suitable types of data), and may be collected according to any of the techniques discussed above in Section I and/or II (and/or other suitable techniques). The accident data may have been generated by the respective source(s), and/or collected, before, during and/or after the accident. - The
method 200 may also include analyzing any or all of the collected accident data (block 204), reconstructing the accident from the accident data (block 206), and creating a virtual accident scene (block 208). As shown inFIG. 4 , for example, insured driver behavior and/or acuity data may be analyzed to reconstruct the accident (block 206A), road, weather, construction, and/or traffic conditions data may be analyzed to reconstruct the accident (block 206B), and/or other vehicle and/or other driver behavior or action data may be analyzed to reconstruct the accident (block 206C). As a more specific example, driver acuity data (e.g., phone usage data) collected from the insured's vehicle and/or mobile device may be analyzed to determine precisely when, in relation to the time of the accident, the insured was or was not likely distracted (e.g., talking on the phone). As another example, weather data (e.g., collected by a mobile device or vehicle-mounted camera, or from a remote server) may be analyzed to determine weather conditions, such as rain, snow or fog, during and/or just prior to the accident. As yet another example, other driver behavior data (e.g., collected by a sensor mounted on the insured's vehicle, or a roadside camera or other sensor, etc.) may be analyzed to determine the speed, direction, lane usage, etc., of one or more drivers other than the insured. -
Block 206 may include, for example, determining a sequence of events for the accident, and block 208 may include generating a virtual reconstruction of the accident (and/or a scene of the accident) based upon the sequence of events. The sequence of events may include events occurring before, during, and/or after the accident. The events may include any types of occurrences, such as vehicle movements, driver actions (e.g., stepping on the brake pedal, talking on a smart phone, etc.), traffic light changes, and so on. The virtual reconstruction may depict/represent not only the sequence of events, but also various states/conditions that exist while the sequence of events occurs. For instance, the virtual reconstruction may include an animated graphical depiction of two or more vehicles involved in the vehicle accident before and during the accident, while also depicting driver acuity, weather conditions, traffic conditions, and/or construction conditions. The vehicles and/or conditions may be depicted at the time of the accident, and at (or in the vicinity of) the vehicle accident, for example. In some embodiments, the virtual reconstruction may be superimposed upon a map. - The
method 200 may also include determining (e.g., based upon a virtual reconstruction of the accident generated at block 208) fault of the driver for the accident. As seen inFIG. 4 , for example, the fault for the driver (e.g., the insured) and/or for another driver may be compared or otherwise analyzed (block 210). The fault may be determined by processing/analyzing features of the generated virtual reconstruction, for example, or by displaying the virtual reconstruction to a user (e.g., insurance provider employee) for human interpretation/analysis, for example. - The fault may be determined as one or more binary indicators (e.g., “at fault” or “not at fault”), percentages (e.g., “25% responsible”), ratios or fractions, and/or any other suitable indicator(s) or measure(s) of fault. In some embodiments and/or scenarios, fault for a first individual is implicitly determined based upon the fault that is explicitly determined for another individual (e.g., an insured may implicitly be determined to have 0% fault if another driver is explicitly determined to be 100% at fault).
- The
method 200 may also include using the fault determined atblock 210 to handle an insurance claim associated with the accident (block 212). For example, the determined fault of the driver (e.g., insured) may be used to determine or adjust the appropriate payout by the insurance provider, or to determine whether another insurance provider should be responsible for payment, etc. - The
method 200 may also include using the fault determined atblocks 210 to adjust, generate and/or update one or more insurance-related items (block 214). The insurance-related item(s) may include, for example, parameters of the insurance policy (e.g., a deductible), a premium, a rate, a discount, and/or a reward. As a more specific example, if it is determined that the driver (e.g., insured) is at least partially at fault, the driver's insurance premium may be increased. - In other embodiments, the
method 200 may include additional, fewer, or alternate actions as compared to those shown inFIG. 4 , including any of those discussed elsewhere herein. For example, themethod 200 may further include transmitting information indicative of the adjusted, generated, or updated insurance-related items to a mobile device associated with the driver (or another individual associated with the insurance policy), such asmobile device 10 ofFIG. 1 , to be displayed on the mobile device for review, modification, or approval by the driver or other individual. - As can be seen from the above discussion, the
method 200 may enable accurate reconstruction of an accident, which may in turn allow more accurate and efficient claim handling, and/or more accurate and efficient adjustment, generation and/or updating of insurance-related items. Moreover, components in the example system 1 may complete their tasks more quickly and/or efficiently, and/or the resource usage or consumption of components in the example system 1 may be reduced. For instance, a claim associate may need to initiate or receive fewer communications with an insured (e.g., viamobile device 10 and/or network 30) and/or other individuals, and/or theprocessor 62 may consume less time and/or fewer processing cycles in handling a claim, if the data collected from some or all of the sources shown in front-end components 2 ofFIG. 1 is complete or informative enough to re-create an accident scene without the need for extensive follow-up investigation. - In one aspect, a computer-implemented method of accident scene reconstruction may be provided. The method may include (1) collecting or receiving telematics and/or other data at or via a remote server associated with an insurance provider, the telematics and/or other data being associated with a vehicle accident involving a specific driver and/or an insured. The insured may own an insurance policy issued by the insurance provider, and the telematics and/or other data may be gathered before, during, and/or after the vehicle accident. The method may include (2) analyzing the telematics and/or other data at and/or via the remote server; (3) determining a sequence of events occurring before, during, and/or after the vehicle accident, at and/or via the remote server, from the analysis of the telematics and/or other data; (4) generating a virtual reconstruction of the vehicle accident and/or accident scene, at and/or via the remote server, from the sequence of events determined from the analysis of the telematics and/or other data; (5) determining, at and/or via the remote server, fault or a percentage of fault of the vehicle accident that is assigned or attributed to the specific driver and/or the insured from the virtual reconstruction of the vehicle accident and/or accident; and/or (6) using the fault or percentage of fault that is assigned or attributed to the specific driver and/or the insured to handle and/or address (either entirely or partially), at and/or via the remote server, an insurance claim associated with the vehicle accident.
- The method may include using the fault or percentage of fault that is assigned or attributed to the specific driver and/or the insured to adjust, generate, and/or update, via the remote server, an insurance policy, premium, rate, discount, and/or reward for the specific driver and/or the insured. The method may also include transmitting information related to the adjusted, generated, and/or updated insurance policy, premium, rate, discount, and/or reward from the remote server to a mobile device associated with the specific driver and/or insured to facilitate presenting, on a display of the mobile device, all or a portion of the adjusted, generated, and/or updated insurance policy, premium, rate, discount, and/or reward to the specific driver and/or insured for their review, modification, and/or approval.
- The method may include analyzing the telematics and/or other data at or via the remote server to determine a sequence of events occurring before, during, and/or after the vehicle accident and generating a virtual reconstruction. The analysis may involve analyzing driver behavior and/or acuity of the specific driver and/or insured before, during, and/or after the vehicle accident using the telematics and/or other data. The analysis may also include analyzing road, weather, traffic, and/or construction conditions associated with a location of the vehicle accident before, during, and/or after the vehicle accident, and/or of other vehicle accidents that occurred at the location of the accident, such as at a busy intersection. The analysis may further include analyzing behavior and/or actions taken by another driver (other than the insured) that is involved with the vehicle accident.
- The virtual reconstruction of the vehicle accident and/or accident scene may include an animated graphical depiction of two or more vehicles involved in the vehicle accident before and during the accident, and may also depict weather, traffic, and/or construction conditions at the time of the accident and/or in the vicinity of the vehicle accident superimposed upon a map. Additionally or alternatively, the virtual reconstruction of the vehicle accident and/or accident scene may include an animated graphical depiction of a single vehicle involved in the vehicle accident before and during the accident. The speed, acceleration, deceleration, traveling direction, route, destination, location, number of passengers, type of vehicle, and/or other items associated with each vehicle depicted may also be graphically depicted by the virtual reconstruction.
- The telematics and/or other data may include the data described elsewhere herein. The method of accident reconstruction may include additional, fewer, or alternate actions, including those discussed elsewhere herein.

FIG. 5 illustrates an exemplary computer-implementedmethod 300 for identifying buildup of an insurance claim relating to a vehicle accident. In some embodiments, themethod 300 may be implemented in whole or in part by one or more components of the system 1 depicted inFIG. 1 . For example, themethod 300 may be implemented by one or more servers remote from the components (e.g., sensors, vehicles, mobile devices, etc.) sourcing telematics data, such as the server 40 (e.g., processor(s) 62 of theserver 40 when executing instructions stored in theprogram memory 60 of the server 40) or another server not shown inFIG. 1 . - The
method 300 may include collecting accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver (block 302). The driver may be associated with an insurance policy issued by the insurance provider (e.g., an owner of the policy, or another individual listed on the policy). The accident data may include telematics data, and possibly other data, collected from one or more sources. For example, the accident data may include data associated with or generated by one or more mobile devices (e.g.,mobile device 10 ofFIGS. 1 and 2 ); an insured vehicle or a computer system of the insured vehicle (e.g., vehicle 8 orsmart vehicle controller 14 ofFIGS. 1 and 2 , or one or more sensors mounted on the vehicle); a vehicle other than the insured vehicle (e.g.,vehicle 6 ofFIG. 1 ); vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication (e.g., communications between vehicle 8 andvehicle 6 inFIG. 1 ); and/or roadside equipment or infrastructure located near a location of the vehicle accident (e.g.,infrastructure components 26 ofFIG. 1 ). Generally, the accident data may include any one or more of the types of data discussed above in Section I and/or II (and/or other suitable types of data), and may be collected according to any of the techniques discussed above in Section I and/or II (and/or other suitable techniques). The accident data may have been generated by the respective source(s), and/or collected, before, during and/or after the accident. - The
method 300 may also include analyzing any or all of the collected accident data (block 304). The accident data may be analyzed to identify the type of accident, a classification of the accident, and/or a severity of the accident. For example, the accident may be classified as an “x-car accident,” where x represents the number of vehicles involved. As another example, the accident may be classified as “side impact,” “rear-end collision” or “head-on collision.” As yet another example, it may be determined that the accident qualifies as a “low,” “moderate,” or “high” severity accident (e.g., in terms of likely vehicle damage and/or personal injury). - An insurance claim associated with the vehicle accident may be received (block 306). The insurance claim may have been generated/initiated by a claim associate of the insurance provider based upon information obtained from the driver (e.g., over the phone), for example, and/or received from an enterprise claim system of the insurance provider.
- The insurance claim may be compared with, or otherwise analyzed in view of, the accident data collected at block 302 (block 308A). Also, or instead, the insurance claim may be compared with, or otherwise analyzed in view of, comparable accidents and/or a baseline of accident information (block 308B). For example, the
method 300 may include determining an average/typical insurance claim for vehicle accidents associated with the same type, classification and/or severity of accident that was/were identified atblock 304, and at block 308 the insurance claim received atblock 306 may be compared with that average insurance claim. - The
method 300 may also include identifying potential/likely claim buildup, and modifying the insurance claim accordingly (block 310). The identification of buildup may be based upon the comparison (e.g., to an average/typical claim of the same type, classification and/or severity) atblock 308B, for example. As a more specific example, likely buildup may be identified (and an agent of the insurance provider may investigate further, etc.) if the accident is identified as being in the class “rear-end collision, <5 mph,” and it is determined that an average/typical insurance claim for such accidents involves a much lower amount (and/or much different type) of vehicle damage than was reported to the insurance provider. The insurance claim may be modified by changing a damage amount and/or personal injury description associated with the claim, for example, and/or further investigation may be initiated. - The
method 300 may also include handling the modified insurance claim (block 312). For example, a modified vehicle damage amount may be used to determine the appropriate payout, if any, by the insurance provider. - The
method 300 may further include using the modified insurance claim to adjust, generate and/or update one or more insurance-related items (block 314). The insurance-related item(s) may include, for example, parameters of the insurance policy (e.g., a deductible), a premium, a rate, a discount, and/or a reward. - In other embodiments, the
method 300 may include additional, fewer, or alternate actions as compared to those shown inFIG. 5 , including any of those discussed elsewhere herein. For example, themethod 300 may further include transmitting information indicative of the adjusted, generated, or updated insurance-related items to a mobile device associated with the driver (or another individual associated with the insurance policy), such asmobile device 10 ofFIG. 1 , to be displayed on the mobile device for review, modification, or approval by the driver or other individual. - As can be seen from the above discussion, the
method 300 may enable accurate and efficient buildup detection, which may in turn allow more accurate and efficient claim handling, and/or more accurate and efficient adjustment, generation and/or updating of insurance-related items. Moreover, components in the example system 1 may complete their tasks more quickly and/or efficiently, and/or the resource usage or consumption of components in the example system 1 may be reduced. For instance, a claim associate may need to initiate or receive fewer communications with an insured (e.g., viamobile device 10 and/or network 30) and/or other individuals, and/or theprocessor 62 may consume less time and/or fewer processing cycles in handling a claim, if the data collected from some or all of the sources shown in front-end components 2 ofFIG. 1 is complete or informative enough to determine what happened before and/or during an accident without the need for extensive follow-up investigation. - In one aspect, a computer-implemented method of buildup identification may be provided. The method may include (1) collecting or receiving telematics and/or other data at a remote server associated with an insurance provider, the telematics and/or other data being associated with a vehicle accident involving a specific driver and/or an insured. The insured may own an insurance policy issued by the insurance provider and the telematics and/or other data may be gathered before, during, and/or after the vehicle accident. The method may include (2) analyzing the telematics and/or other data at and/or via the remote server to identify a type, classification, and/or severity of the vehicle accident; (3) determining an average insurance claim for vehicle accidents associated with the type, classification, and/or severity of the vehicle accident, such as at and/or via the remote server; (4) receiving, at and/or via the remote server, an insurance claim associated with the vehicle accident; (5) comparing, at and/or via the remote server, the insurance claim with the average insurance claim for vehicle accidents associated with the type, classification, and/or severity of the vehicle accident; and/or (6) identifying likely buildup or overstatement of the insurance claim, at and/or via the remote server, based upon the comparison such that investigation and/or adjustment of the insurance claim is facilitated. The method may include additional, fewer, or alternate actions, including those discussed elsewhere herein.
- For instance, the method may further comprise adjusting or updating, at and/or via the remote server, the insurance claim to account for the likely buildup or overstatement of the insurance claim, and/or transmitting information related to the adjusted and/or updated insurance claim from the remote server to a mobile device associated with the specific driver and/or insured to facilitate presenting, on a display of the mobile device, all or a portion of the adjusted and/or updated insurance claim to the specific driver and/or insured for their review, modification, and/or approval.
- The telematics and/or other data may include the types of data discussed elsewhere herein. Also, identifying likely buildup or overstatement of the insurance claim may involve identifying buildup of (i) vehicle damage and/or (ii) personal injury or injuries from analysis of the telematics and/or other data.
- The following additional considerations apply to the foregoing discussion. Throughout this specification, plural instances may implement operations or structures described as a single instance. Although individual operations of one or more methods are illustrated and described as separate operations, one or more of the individual operations may be performed concurrently, and nothing requires that the operations be performed in the order illustrated. These and other variations, modifications, additions, and improvements fall within the scope of the subject matter herein.
