1. A system configured to identify geolocations in a rail network where rail vehicle events are likely to occur based on prior rail vehicle events that occurred to rail vehicles, wherein the rail vehicles include a first rail vehicle and a second rail vehicle, wherein the first rail vehicle includes a first sensor and a first rail vehicle event recorder configured to detect rail vehicle events based on output signals generated by the first sensor, wherein the second rail vehicle includes a second sensor and a second rail vehicle event recorder configured to detect rail vehicle events based on output signals generated by the second sensor, the system comprising one or more physical computer processors configured by computer readable instructions to:

  • obtain information that characterizes rail vehicle parameters during prior rail vehicle events involving the rail vehicles, wherein the obtained information includes a first set of information regarding the rail vehicle events detected by the first rail vehicle event recorder and a second set of information regarding the rail vehicle events detected by the second rail vehicle event recorder, the rail vehicle parameters including geolocations of the rail vehicles during the prior rail vehicle events; and

    identify individual combinations of rail vehicle parameters associated with apparently elevated likelihoods of occurrences of rail vehicle events that are similar to the prior rail vehicle events, wherein the identified individual combinations include the rail vehicle parameters that indicate shared geolocations where the prior rail vehicle events have occurred, and wherein the identified individual combinations are based on the first and second sets of information.
