A computer-implemented method of updating an auto insurance policy is provided. The method may include (1) determining that a customer's mobile device has a Telematics Application (“App”) installed on it, the Telematics App configured to (i) receive telematics data associated with another vehicle via a wireless communication broadcast; (ii) determine a travel event from analysis of the telematics data received, and (iii) generate a corrective action based upon the telematics data received or travel event determined that alleviates the risk of vehicle collision. The method may also include (2) monitoring, with the customer's permission, an amount or percentage of usage of the Telematics App on the customer's mobile device while the customer is driving in an insured vehicle; and (3) adjusting an insurance policy premium or discount based upon usage of the Telematics App to facilitate rewarding risk-averse drivers and encourage usage of risk mitigation or prevention technology.

A method of navigating with a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) includes receiving a GNSS signal, calculating a GNSS navigation solution according to the GNSS identifying map information corresponding to the GNSS navigation solution, detecting features from the identified map information, and correcting a GNSS navigation based on the features detected from the map information and the GNSS signal.

A system and method of determining a vehicle location where roads have different elevations and at least partially overlap. The method carried out by the system includes: receiving a plurality of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellite signals at a vehicle; determining a vehicle location and a vehicle velocity including an up velocity based on the received GNSS signals; identifying a plurality of roads, within a range of the vehicle location, at least one of which has a different elevation than the other road(s); and selecting at least one of the plurality of roads within the range based on the up velocity component.

A method is provided for generating ground truth data for positional data with matched road segments. The method comprises identifying a route comprising one or more road segments. Positional data, collected while traveling the route, is received. A plurality of candidate road segments is identified. The positional data is matched to one of the plurality of candidate road segments, wherein the one or more road segments are prioritized for matches.

Systems and methods are provided for worker protection. The worker protection systems comprise a plurality of alert devices, comprising one or more wearable personal alert devices, each worn by a person (e.g., worker), and one or more companion alert devices that broadcast alerts or signals triggering alerts. The companion alert devices comprise vehicle-mounted alert devices, configured for operation on vehicles (e.g., trains), and wayside detection units, configured for placement on or near paths of the vehicles. The wayside detection units may be operable to autonomously detect and track the vehicles.

Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for vehicular navigation are presented. Some configurations include computing a first attitude of a vehicle with respect to a reference frame at a first epoch; based on measurement data from an inertial navigation system (INS) of the vehicle, computing an attitude of the INS at a second epoch that is subsequent to the first epoch; based on the computed attitude of the INS and the computed first attitude of the vehicle, computing a second attitude of the vehicle at the second epoch; applying a constraint to the computed second attitude of the vehicle to produce an updated second attitude of the vehicle; and based on the updated second attitude of the vehicle, computing an updated attitude of the INS. Applications relating to road vehicular (e.g., automobile) use are described.
