1. A system for assessing turns made by a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a computer readable media; and
one or more processors executing instructions stored on the computer readable media that when executed cause the processor to;
receive telematics data indicative of a historical travel path from a telematics device associated with a vehicle;
identify, based at least in part on the telematics data, one or more turns executed by the vehicle each turn comprising instances in which the vehicle changes from traveling in a first direction to traveling in a second direction;
determine for each of the identified one or more turns a turn segment comprising;
a beginning turn point comprising a telematics data point occurring before successive telematics data points;
an ending turn point comprising a telematics data point occurring after the successive telematics data points; and
one or more turn segment attributes comprising one or more of a time elapsed between the beginning turn point and the ending turn point, and a turn type, wherein the turn type is determined by;
identifying, based at least in part on the telematics data, a location of the turn segment; and
comparing the location of the turn segment against map data to identify one or more roads located at the location of the turn segment;
receive a user request for analysis of turns corresponding to a determined turn type;
identify those turn segments identified as one of the determined turn types; and
generate a graphical display comprising a map illustrating the location of the identified turn segments and displaying one or more of the turn segment attributes of the identified turn segments.

Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to a systems and methods for assessing turns made by one or more vehicles. According to various embodiments, the system is configured to identify, based telematics data captured from the vehicles, turns executed by the vehicle during a particular time period. The system is further configured to analyze the identified turns to determine and display various turn segment attributes to a user in order to provide an indication of turns having an abnormal or excessive duration and/or to provide overall efficiency-indicative information relating to the vehicle turns.

11. A method for assessing turns made by at least one vehicle, the method comprising:
-
receiving telematics data indicative of a historical travel path from a telematics device associated with a vehicle; identifying one or more turns executed by the vehicle, based at least in part on the telematics data, each turn comprising instances in which the vehicle changes from traveling in a first direction to traveling in a second direction; determining for each of the identified turns a turn segment comprising; a beginning turn point comprising a telematics data point occurring before successive telematics data points; an ending turn point comprising a telematics data point occurring after the successive telematics data points; and one or more turn segment attributes comprising one or more of a time elapsed between the beginning turn point and the ending turn point, and a turn type, wherein the turn type is determined by; identifying, based at least in part on the telematics data, a location of the turn segment; and comparing the location of the turn segment against map data to identify one or more roads located at the location of the turn segment; receiving a user request for analysis of turns corresponding to a determined turn type; identifying those turn segments identified as one of the determined turn types; and generating, based on said identified turn segments, a graphical display comprising a map illustrating the location of the identified turn segments and displaying one or more of the turn segment attributes of the identified turn segments. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer readable program code portions comprising:
-
an executable portion configured to receive telematics data indicative of a historical travel path from a telematics device associated with a vehicle; an executable portion configured to identify, based at least in part on the telematics data, one or more turns executed by the vehicle each turn comprising instances in which the vehicle changes from traveling in a first direction to traveling in a second direction, wherein the one or more turns are each identified as comprising a change in vehicle heading between successive telematics data points of the plurality of telematics data points exceeding a predefined threshold heading value; an executable portion configured to determine for each of the identified turns a turn segment comprising; a beginning turn point comprising a telematics data point occurring before successive telematics data points; an ending turn point comprising a telematics data point occurring after the successive telematics data points; and one or more turn segment attributes comprising one or more of a time elapsed between the beginning turn point and the ending turn point, and a turn type, wherein the turn type is determined by; identifying, based at least in part on the telematics data, a location of the turn segment; and comparing the location of the turn segment against map data to identify one or more roads located at the location of the turn segment; an executable portion configured to receive a user request for analysis of turns corresponding to a determined turn type; an executable portion configured to identify those turn segments identified as one of the determined turn types; and an executable portion configured to generate a graphical display comprising a map illustrating the location of the identified turn segments; and display one or more of the turn segment attributes of the identified turn segments. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
