Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to multicomputer processing of vehicle operational data from telematics devices and other sources with centralized event control. An event control computing platform may receive vehicle operational data from a telematics device associated with a user. Subsequently, the event control computing platform may identify, based on the received data, whether at least one criterion associated with the user has been satisfied. If the received data indicates that the at least one criterion associated with the user has been satisfied, then the event control computing platform may generate a command configured to cause a change to a subunit of user data and then may transmit the generated command to a subunit provisioning server.

Claims (45)

1. A computing platform, comprising:

at least one processor;

a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; and

memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing platform to:

receive vehicle operational data from a computing device via a connection using the communication interface;

identify, based on an analysis of the vehicle operational data, whether at least one criterion is satisfied;

generate a first command configured to cause a first change from a first primary service provider to a second primary service provider when the at least one criterion is satisfied;

transmit, via the communication interface, the first command to a server;

generate a second command configured to cause a second change from the second primary service provider to the first primary service provider when the at least one criterion is no longer satisfied;

transmit, via the communication interface, the second command to the server;

generate a third command configured to activate a sub-service provider when the at least one criterion is satisfied; and

transmit, via the communication interface, the third command to the server.

2. The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is a telematics device.

3. The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the first primary service provider and the second primary service provider provide insurance coverage.

4. The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle operational data includes one or more of location data, inspection data, speed data, distance traveled data, vehicle information data, braking data, vehicle use data, weather data, environmental data, and acceleration and deceleration data.

5. The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the at least one criterion is satisfied when a speed indicated by the vehicle operational data is below a predetermined speed.

6. The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the at least one criterion is satisfied when an average braking time indicated by the vehicle operational data to come to a complete stop is above a threshold.

7. The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the at least one criterion is satisfied when deceleration indicated by the vehicle operational data is below a predetermined maximum rate of deceleration.

8. The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the memory stores additional computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing platform to transmit a request to a user device for authorization for at least one of the first change or the second change.

9. A method, comprising:

receiving vehicle operational data from a computing device via a communication interface;

determining, based on an analysis of the vehicle operational data, whether a criterion is satisfied;

generating a first command configured to cause a first change of from a first primary service provider to a second primary service provider when the criterion is satisfied;

transmitting, via the communication interface, the first command to a server;

generating a second command configured to cause a second change from the second primary service provider to the first primary service provider when the criterion is no longer satisfied;

transmitting, via the communication interface, the second command to the server;

generating a third command configured to activate a sub-service provider when the criterion is satisfied; and

transmitting, via the communication interface, the third command to the server.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the computing device is a telematics device.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first and second primary service providers provide insurance coverage.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the vehicle operational data includes one or more of location data, inspection data, speed data, distance traveled data, vehicle information data, braking data, vehicle use data, weather data, environmental data, and acceleration and deceleration data.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the criterion is satisfied when a speed indicated by the vehicle operational data is below a speed limit.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the criterion is satisfied when an average braking time indicated by the vehicle operational data to come to a complete stop is above a predetermined average braking time.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the criterion is satisfied when a deceleration rate is below a predetermined deceleration rate.

16. The method of claim 9 further comprising transmitting a request for authorization for at least one of the first change or the second change.

17. The method of claim 9 further comprising generating a notification of at least one of the first change or the second change to cause the notification to be displayed on a user device.

18. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

receive vehicle operational data from a computing device via a communication interface;

identify, based on an analysis of the vehicle operational data, whether at least one criterion is satisfied;

generate a first command configured to cause a first change from a first primary service provider to a second primary service provider when the at least one criterion is satisfied;

transmit, via the communication interface, the first command to a server;

generate a second command configured to cause a second change from the second primary service provider to the first primary service provider when the at least one criterion is no longer satisfied;

transmit, via the communication interface, the second command to the server;

generate a third command configured to activate a sub-service provider when the at least one criterion is satisfied; and

transmit, via the communication interface, the third command to the server.
