METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETECTING AND VERIFYING ROUTE DEVIATIONS
First Claim
1. A machine-implemented method, comprising:
- geocoding coordinates of a user, a vehicle, a destination, or any combination thereof, on a map;
tracking positioning data of the user, the vehicle, and the destination or any combination thereof, on the map to generate a tracked route;
generating a pair of buffer perimeters surrounding a generated route;
comparing the tracked route to the pair of buffer perimeters;
determining a route deviation occurrence based on the comparison of the vehicle'"'"'s location to the pair of buffer perimeters,wherein the pair of buffer perimeters encloses both sides of the generated route, andwherein route deviation occurs if the vehicle'"'"'s location is disposed beyond the buffer perimeter'"'"'s width.

Abstract
Systems and methods for geocoding coordinates of users, vehicles and destinations on a map, and to identify when a transit vehicle deviates from a system generated driving route are disclosed. As the transit vehicle travels along the route, its actual path of travel may be compared to an optimal driving route generated by the system to obtain route deviation data. The route deviation data and/or road network data may be filtered to remove data noise and further analyzed to build a profile of a driver operating a transit vehicle. A digital signature identifying at least one pattern of behavior and/or operating characteristic associated with a specific driver operating a vehicle is further developed, and may be used to allow a system administrator of a vehicle fleet to filter out, or filter for, specific driver types based on driving behaviors that may be suitable for a particular operation.

7. A data processing system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions which when executed by the processor causes the processor to perform a method, comprising; geocoding coordinates of a user, a vehicle, a destination, or any combination thereof, on a map; tracking positioning data of the user, the vehicle, the destination, or any combination thereof, on the map to generate a tracked route; comparing the tracked route to one or more generated routes; detecting a deviation of the tracked route from a generated route; and resequencing a generated route. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
