Vehicle data snapshot for fleet
A vehicle includes a controller programmed to responsive to detecting a predefined driving event indicative of discrediting driving behavior, verify the driving event against a predefined scenario stored as a snapshot; responsive to failing to find a matching scenario, analyze the driving event using a predefined algorithm to verify whether the driving event is unintended; and responsive to verifying the driving event is unintended, save the driving event as a new snapshot.
1. A vehicle subscribed to a usage-based insurance (UBI), comprising:
a controller, programmed to
responsive to detecting a predefined driving event indicative of discrediting driving behavior, check the driving event against a predefined scenario stored as a snapshot to verify a fidelity of the driving event;
responsive to the fidelity of the driving event indicative of failing to find a matching scenario, analyze the driving event using a predefined algorithm to verify whether the driving event is unintended;
responsive to verifying the driving event is not unintended, report the driving event to a server;
responsive to verifying the driving event is unintended, save the driving event as a new snapshot; and
send the new snapshot to a fleet vehicle subscribed to the UBI via a wireless transceiver of the vehicle through vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) connection.
2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further programmed to send the new snapshot to a cloud via a telematics control unit (TCU) to share the detected driving event.
3. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further programmed to, responsive to receiving a snapshot package update, update the snapshot.
4. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the driving event includes at least one of: a hard-braking event, a hard-acceleration event, a harsh cornering event, an excessive speed event, a lane changing without signal event, or an excessive idling event.
5. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the V2V connection is established between the vehicle and the fleet vehicle using at least one of the following technologies: radio-frequency identification (RFID), near-field communication (NFC), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and/or dedicated short-range communication (DSRC).
6. A portable device, in communication with an in-vehicle network of a vehicle, comprising:
a processor, programmed to
responsive to detecting a predefined driving event indicative of discrediting driving behavior via a sensor of the vehicle, check the driving event against a predefined scenario stored as a snapshot to verify a fidelity of the driving event;
responsive to the fidelity of the driving event indicative of failing to find a matching scenario, analyze the driving event using predefined algorithm to verify if the driving event is unintended;
responsive to verifying the driving event is not unintended, report the driving event to a server;
responsive to verifying the driving event is unintended, save the driving event as a new snapshot; and
send the new snapshot to a fleet vehicle subscribed to usage-based insurance (UBI) via a wireless transceiver of the vehicle through vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) connection.
7. The portable device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further programmed to
send the new snapshot to a cloud via a wireless transceiver of the portable device to share the detected driving event.
8. The portable device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further programmed to
receive a snapshot package update from a cloud via a TCU of the vehicle to update the snapshot.
9. The portable device of claim 6 , wherein the portable device is connected to the in-vehicle network of the vehicle via an on-board diagnostic II (OBD-II) port.
10. The portable device of claim 6 , wherein the driving event includes at least one of: hard-braking event, a hard-acceleration event, a harsh cornering event, an excessive speed event, a lane changing without signal event, or an excessive idling event.
11. The portable device of claim 6 , wherein the V2V connection is established between the vehicle and the fleet vehicle using at least one of the following technologies: RFID, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and/or DSRC.
12. A method for a vehicle, comprising:
responsive to detecting a predefined driving event indicative of discrediting driving behavior via an electronic control unit, checking the driving event against a predefined snapshot stored in a snapshot package to verify a fidelity of the driving event;
responsive to the fidelity of the driving event indicative of failing to find a matching snapshot, analyzing the driving event using predefined algorithm to verify if the driving event is unintended;
responsive to verifying the driving event is not unintended, report the driving event to a server;
responsive to verifying the driving event is unintended, create a new snapshot for the driving event to add into the snapshot package; and
send the new snapshot to a fleet vehicle subscribed to usage-based insurance (UBI) via a wireless transceiver of the vehicle through vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) connection.
13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
sending the new snapshot to a cloud via a TCU to share the driving event.
14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
responsive to receiving a snapshot package update, updating the snapshot package.
15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
receiving a generated snapshot from a fleet vehicle via a V2V connection.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the V2V connection is established between the vehicle and the fleet vehicle using at least one of the following technologies: RFID, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and/or DSRC.
