System for automatically characterizing a vehicle
View Patent ↗A system for automatic characterization of a vehicle includes an input interface and a processor. The input interface is for receiving sensor data. The processor is for determining a vehicle characterization based at least in part on the sensor data and determining a vehicle identifier based at least in part on the vehicle characterization.
1. A system for automatic characterization of a vehicle, comprising:
an input interface for receiving sensor data, wherein the sensor data includes inertial data; and
a processor for:
determining a vehicle characterization based at least in part on:
determining at least one engine characteristic including a vibration pattern based at least in part on the inertial data; and
determining a response to a road condition based at least in part on the inertial data; and
determining a vehicle identifier based at least in part on the vehicle characterization.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data comprises image data.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data comprises audio data.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data comprises inertial data.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data comprises GPS data.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data comprises compliance data.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle characterization comprises a physical profile.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the physical profile comprises a hood profile, a seat profile, a headlight pattern, or a view behind a driver of the vehicle.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle characterization comprises a mechanical profile.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the mechanical profile comprises engine characteristics, a shock response, a turn response, or an acceleration response.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle characterization comprises an audio profile.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the audio profile comprises an idle sound, a high RPM sound, or a horn sound.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle characterization comprises a usage profile.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the usage profile comprises route data, a maintenance log, a usage log, or a driver log.
15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle identifier is determined by training a machine learning engine with the vehicle characterization and the vehicle identifier.
16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further for determining a maintenance item.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein determining a maintenance item comprises determining a vehicle characterization change over time.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the maintenance item comprises a maintenance schedule.
19. A method for automatic characterization of a vehicle, comprising:
receiving sensor data, wherein the sensor data includes inertial data;
determining, using a processor, a vehicle characterization based at least in part on:
determining at least one engine characteristic including a vibration pattern based at least in part on the inertial data; and
determining a response to a road condition based at least in part on the inertial data; and
determining a vehicle identifier based at least in part on the vehicle characterization.
20. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
receiving sensor data, wherein the sensor data includes inertial data;
determining a vehicle characterization based at least in part on:
determining at least one engine characteristic including a vibration pattern based at least in part on the inertial data; and
determining a response to a road condition based at least in part on the inertial data; and
determining a vehicle identifier based at least in part on the vehicle characterization.
