1. A computer-implemented method of using telematics data to provide telematics data-based risk mitigation or prevention functionality, the method comprising:

  • receiving, via a destination computing device associated with a destination vehicle and a destination driver, telematics data that is sampled by one or more sensors that are incorporated as part of an originating computing device, the telematics data including acceleration, braking, speed, cornering, and Global Positioning System (GPS) data associated with the originating vehicle;

    determining, via the destination computing device based upon an analysis of the telematics data, a geographic location of a travel event using the Global Positioning System (GPS) data;

    identifying, via the destination computing device, a relevance of the travel event by determining, using the telematics data, whether the geographic location of the travel event is located (i) along a current travel route of the destination vehicle, or (ii) within a threshold distance of a current GPS location of the destination computing device; and

    when the travel event is relevant, at least one of;

    (i) providing, via the destination computing device, a graphical user interface (GUI) to alert the destination driver, the GUI including a display of;

    (a) an indication of a description of the travel event, the indication of the description of the travel event including at least one of a text indication of the description or a graphical indication of the description, and(b) an indication of the geographic location of the travel event, the indication of the geographic location of the travel event including at least one of a text indication of the geographic location, a graphical indication of the geographic location, or a map indicating the geographic location, or(ii) automatically taking at least one other corrective action, via the destination computing device, to affect driving of the destination vehicle.
