Using emergency response system (EMS) vehicle telematics data to reduce accident risk
First Claim
1. A computer system configured to use emergency response system (EMS) vehicle telematics data to reduce accident risk, the computer system comprising:
- at least one processor or associated transceiver, the at least one processor or associated transceiver located on or within an autonomous vehicle, the at least one processor or associated transceiver configured to;
receive, at the autonomous vehicle via wireless communication or data transmission, the EMS vehicle telematics data associated with an EMS vehicle;
determine, at the autonomous vehicle based upon the EMS vehicle telematics data, whether a current route of the autonomous vehicle will interfere with a route of the EMS vehicle to an emergency location;
when the autonomous vehicle based upon the EMS vehicle telematics data, determines that the current route of the autonomous vehicle will interfere with the route of the EMS vehicle to the emergency location, determine, at the autonomous vehicle, an alternate route for the autonomous vehicle to take to avoid interfering with the route of the EMS vehicle to the emergency location;
direct, based upon a relevance of the EMS vehicle, the autonomous vehicle to travel along the alternate route; and
cause an insurance provider remote server to at least one of display, adjust, or generate an insurance discount associated with the autonomous vehicle based upon the autonomous vehicle including risk mitigation or prevention functionality associated with (1) receiving the EMS vehicle telematics data, and (2) directing corrective actions so as to incentivize an insured customer to facilitate avoidance of collisions and safe travel for the EMS vehicle.

Abstract
A computer system configured to use emergency response system (EMS) vehicle telematics data to reduce risk of accidents may be configured to (1) receive, when the EMS vehicle is en route to an emergency location, the EMS vehicle telematics data associated with the EMS vehicle and including GPS location, speed, route, heading, acceleration, and/or lane data; (2) determine that a current route of an autonomous vehicle will interfere with the route of the EMS vehicle; (3) determine an alternate route for the autonomous vehicle to avoid interfering with the route of the EMS vehicle; and (4) direct the autonomous vehicle to (i) travel along the alternate route or (ii) pull over to a side of a road on the current route to allow the EMS vehicle to pass unimpeded. Insurance discounts may be generated based upon the risk mitigation or prevention functionality.

8. A computer-implemented method of using emergency response system (EMS) vehicle telematics data to reduce accident risk, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at an autonomous vehicle via at least one processor or associated transceiver located on or within the autonomous vehicle, via wireless communication or data transmission, the EMS vehicle telematics data associated with an EMS vehicle; determining, at the autonomous vehicle via the at least one processor based upon the EMS vehicle telematics data, whether a current route of the autonomous vehicle will interfere with a route of the EM S vehicle to an emergency location; when the autonomous vehicle based upon the EMS vehicle telematics data, determines that the current route of the autonomous vehicle will interfere with the route of the EMS vehicle to the emergency location, determining, at the autonomous vehicle via the at least one processor, an alternate route for the autonomous vehicle to take to avoid interfering with the route of the EMS vehicle to the emergency location; directing, via the at least one processor, based upon a relevance of the EMS vehicle, the autonomous vehicle to travel along the alternate route; and causing, via the at least one processor or associated transceiver, an insurance provider remote server to at least one of display, adjust, or generate an insurance discount associated with the autonomous vehicle based upon the autonomous vehicle including risk mitigation or prevention functionality associated with (1) receiving the EMS vehicle telematics data, and (2) directing corrective actions so as to incentivize an insured customer to facilitate avoidance of collisions and safe travel for the EMS vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
