Latest Patents

Valente is credited with 1 patent: “Systems and Methods for Detecting Vehicle Idling and Determining Classifications for the Vehicle Idling.” The invention describes a device that receives road-facing and driver-facing camera video, vehicle idling-event data, and traffic information. It identifies an idling event as a trigger, then uses a first machine-learning model to assess driver behavior from the event and driver-facing footage. A second model evaluates that behavior alongside road-facing footage and traffic data to score the event. The system compares the score with a threshold to classify the idling event and can take actions based on that classification.

Career Highlights

Valente’s listed patent reflects work at the intersection of vehicle monitoring, computer vision, and machine learning. By combining driver behavior with roadway conditions and traffic information, the system is designed to distinguish among different circumstances surrounding vehicle idling.

Collaborations

Valente’s listed coworkers include Francesco De Felice and Giovanni Pini. The patent is associated with Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.

Conclusion

Filippo Valente’s patent describes a data-driven approach to detecting and classifying vehicle idling, combining camera inputs, traffic information, and machine-learning models.
