Abstract

Systems and methods for dynamically assessing vehicle operation are described. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may accumulate telematics data associated with operation of a vehicle, where the telematics data indicates a location of the vehicle. The electronic device may retrieve additional telematics data of additional vehicles operating at or near the location, and compare the accumulated telematics data to the additional telematics data. The electronic device may dynamically generate and display a data visualization indicating the analysis for review by an operator of the vehicle.

comparing, by the computing device, at least one parameter of the set of telematics data and at least one corresponding parameter of the additional set of telematics data to calculate a degree of deviation between the at least one parameter and the at least one corresponding parameter, wherein the at least one parameter includes at least one of speed, acceleration, braking or turning; and

displaying, by the computing device, an indication of the at least one parameter of the set of telematics data associated with the vehicle to an operator of the vehicle and an indication of the degree of deviation to the operator of the vehicle to assess an operation of the vehicle relative to operations of the additional set of the plurality of vehicles.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

collecting a set of information associated with a location of the vehicle; and

displaying a portion of the set of information associated with the location of the vehicle.
