AI Integration in Vehicle Telematics Anomaly Detection Workflow

AI-Powered Anomaly Detection in Vehicle Telematics

1. Data Collection

1.1 Vehicle Telematics Data

Collect real-time data from various vehicle sensors, including GPS, speed, fuel consumption, and engine performance.

1.2 Historical Data

Gather historical telematics data for baseline analysis, including past vehicle performance and maintenance records.

2. Data Preprocessing

2.1 Data Cleaning

Remove any inconsistencies, duplicates, and irrelevant data points to ensure high-quality input for analysis.

2.2 Data Normalization

Standardize the data to ensure uniformity across different sources and formats.

3. Feature Engineering

3.1 Identifying Key Features

Determine which features (e.g., speed variations, sudden braking events) are most indicative of anomalies.

3.2 Creating New Features

Utilize domain knowledge to create new features that may enhance anomaly detection, such as average speed deviations.
