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 risk of accidents, the computer system comprising:
- at least one of one or more processors or one or more transceivers, the at least one of the one or more processors or the one or more transceivers located on or within an autonomous vehicle, the at least one of the one or more processors or the one or more transceivers configured to;
receive, at the autonomous vehicle via wireless communication or data transmission, the EMS vehicle telematics data associated with an EMS vehicle directly or indirectly from the EMS vehicle when the EMS vehicle is en route to an emergency location, the EMS vehicle telematics data including Global Positioning System (GPS) location data, speed data, at least one of direction data or heading data, and at least one of acceleration data or deceleration data;
determine, at the autonomous vehicle based upon the EMS vehicle telematics data, that a current route of the autonomous vehicle will interfere with a 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 the autonomous vehicle to one of (1) travel along the alternate route, or (2) pull over to a side of a road on the current route of the autonomous vehicle to allow the EMS vehicle to pass unimpeded; and
send an indication to an insurance provider remote server that the autonomous vehicle includes risk mitigation or prevention functionality associated with (i) receiving a wireless communication broadcast including the EMS vehicle telematics data, (ii) analyzing the EMS vehicle telematics data, and (iii) directing corrective actions based upon a relevance of an identified anomaly, the relevance of the identified anomaly being determined based upon whether a location of the EMS vehicle as determined based upon the EMS vehicle telematics data is within a threshold distance of a current location of the autonomous vehicle, so as to cause generation of an insurance discount that is displayed to an insured customer associated with the autonomous vehicle so as to incentivize the 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.
