    Abstract: Technologies for switching between communication modes in a telematics device includes a communication subsystem having a communication processor electrically coupled to a location antenna to receive location data form a location beacon system and a data antenna to communication with a remote computer system(s). The communication processor may have multiple modes of operation including a location mode in which the communication processor is configured to receive and process location data from the location beacon system and a data mode in which the communication processor is configured to transmit and receive data communications from the remote computer system(s). The communication subsystem may control the operating mode of the communication processor by switching the communication processor between the location mode and the data mode according to a determined switching duty cycle.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for using machine learning classifiers to identify anomalous driving behavior in vehicle driver data obtained from vehicle telematics devices are provided. In one example, a vehicle telematics device receives vehicle driver data from sensors, identifies anomalies in the vehicle driver data by using an unsupervised machine learning process, calculates a driver risk score by using the anomalies identified in the vehicle driver data, and transmits the risk score to a remote server system. In another example, a server system receives vehicle driver data from a plurality of vehicle telematics devices, identifies anomalies in the vehicle driver data by using an unsupervised machine learning process, and calculates a driver risk score by using the anomalies identified in the vehicle driver data.
