Systems and methods are disclosed with respect to using a blockchain for managing the subrogation claim process related to a vehicle collision, in particular, utilizing evidence oracles as part of the subrogation process. An exemplary embodiment includes receiving recorded data from one or more connected devices at a geographic location; analyzing the recorded data, wherein analyzing the recorded data includes determining that an collision has occurred involving one or more vehicles; generating a transaction including the data indicative of the collision based upon the analysis; and transmitting the transaction to at least one other participant in the distributed ledger network.

Evidence oracles

Systems and methods are disclosed with respect to using a blockchain for managing the subrogation claim process related to a vehicle accident, in particular, utilizing historical data related to a vehicle or vehicle collisions as part of the subrogation process. An exemplary embodiment may include receiving historical sensor data, such as image, audio, telematics, and/or autonomous vehicle data, associated with a past vehicle collision; inputting the historical sensor data into a machine learning program to determine data relevant to a past vehicle collision; receiving current sensor data associated with a current vehicle collision; inputting the current sensor data into the machine learning program to determine data relevant to the current vehicle collision; and determining a percentage of fault of the vehicle collision for one or more autonomous vehicles, autonomous vehicle systems, and/or drivers based upon, at least in part, analysis of the historical sensor data and the current sensor data.

Using historical data for subrogation on a distributed ledger

Systems and methods are disclosed with respect to using a blockchain for managing the subrogation claim process related to a vehicle accident, in particular, determining fault as part of the subrogation process. An exemplary embodiment may include receiving an electronic notification of a vehicle collision; receiving sensor data (such as telematics, image, audio, vehicle operational, or other sensor data) related to the vehicle collision; determining a percentage of fault of the vehicle collision for one or more vehicles, vehicle systems, and/or drivers based upon, at least in part, analysis of the sensor data collected; and creating a blockchain for the vehicle collision with one or more links to the sensor image data and an indication of the percentage of fault(s) determined to facilitate blockchain-based claim handling.
