1. Non-transitory physical computer storage comprising instructions stored thereon for implementing, in one or more processors, a method for presenting fleet vehicle operation information to a manager of a plurality of vehicles in a fleet of vehicles, the method comprising:

  • receiving vehicle telematics data for the plurality of vehicles including a first vehicle, the vehicle telematics data comprising measurements related to operation of the plurality of vehicles on a network of streets in a geographic region, the first vehicle comprising a first measurement source and a second measurement source different from the first measurement source, the first measurement source having measurement reporting capabilities to provide a first subset of the measurements and a second subset of the measurements and the second measurement source having measurement reporting capabilities to provide a third subset of the measurements and a fourth subset of the measurements, the first subset of the measurements and the third subset of the measurements relating to operation of the first vehicle during a first period, the second subset of the measurements and the fourth subset of the measurements relating to operation of the first vehicle during a second period different from the first period;

    assigning a first quality value to the first subset of the measurements based at least on the first measurement source being a source of the first subset of the measurements, the first quality value being a first alphanumeric character indicative of a measure of quality of the first subset of the measurements;

    assigning a second quality value to the second subset of the measurements based at least on the second measurement source being a source of the second subset of the measurements, the second quality value being a second alphanumeric character indicative of a measure of quality of the second subset of the measurements;

    determining whether the first quality value is associated with a higher measure of quality than the second quality value;

    in response to determining that the first quality value is associated with a higher measure of quality than the second quality value, estimating a first value for a parameter using one or more of the first subset of the measurements and without using the second subset of the measurements, the parameter being indicative of vehicle performance information for the first vehicle, the second subset of the measurements being usable to estimate a second value for the parameter;

    displaying to the manager the first value together with an identifier for the first vehicle on a vehicle fleet management user interface of a display, the vehicle fleet management user interface being configured to provide vehicle operation information that reflects operating performance of the plurality of vehicles on the network of streets in the geographic region;

    assigning a third quality value to the third subset of the measurements based at least on the first measurement source being a source of the third subset of the measurements, the third quality value being associated with a lower measure of quality than the first quality value, the third quality value being a third alphanumeric character indicative of a measure of quality of the third subset of the measurements;

    assigning a fourth quality value to the fourth subset of the measurements based at least on the second measurement source being a source of the fourth subset of the measurements, the fourth quality value being a fourth alphanumeric character indicative of a measure of quality of the fourth subset of the measurements;

    determining whether the third quality value is associated with a higher measure of quality than the fourth quality value;

    in response to determining that the third quality value is not associated with a higher measure of quality than the fourth quality value, estimating a third value for the parameter using one or more of the fourth subset of the measurements and without using the third subset of the measurements, the third subset of the measurements being usable to estimate a fourth value for the parameter; and

    displaying to the manager the third value on the vehicle fleet management user interface in place of the first value.
