Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS The present application is a Continuation Application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/680,667, filed on Feb. 25, 2022, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/788,789, filed on Feb. 12, 2020, patented as U.S. Pat. No. 11,295,559, which are herewith incorporated by reference in their entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for monitoring driver behavior for drivers of vehicle, and more particularly, to systems and methods for detecting full-stops and/or rolling stops at an intersection by a driver of a vehicle using telematics data so as to prevent and/or reduce accidents. BACKGROUND In at least some known systems for assessing drivers of vehicles, navigation may be used to assess the drivers. Further, in some known systems, position, acceleration, speed, and location may be determined from navigation data associated with the users. However, no known systems include accurately mapping signage (e.g., stop signs, stoplights, etc.) and determining how drivers interact with the signage. Accordingly, such a system is needed. BRIEF SUMMARY The present embodiments may relate to, inter alia, systems and methods for monitoring driving behaviors of a driver (e.g., a driver of a vehicle) through telematics and location data (e.g., from sensors including GPS, accelerometers, and gyroscopes of a user computing device and/or sensors imbedded within and/or in communication with the vehicle of the user) during vehicle operation. Collected telematics data may be analyzed to reveal locations of stop signs, stop lights, and intersections. Further analysis may reveal certain driving behaviors, such as rolling stops, and provide real-time feedback to a driver. Some embodiments of the present disclosure may use, for example, GPS location data, accelerometer data and machine learning techniques to map stoplight and stop sign locations. Further embodiments of the present disclosure may use, for example, GPS location data and accelerometer data of a driver to detect aberrant driving behavior (e.g., driving characteristics where the driver does not stop and/or does not fully stop, also known as “rolling-stops” through stoplights and/or stop signs) by a driver of a vehicle in view of mapped stoplight and stop sign locations. In some embodiments, a real-time corrective action alert may be transmitted to the driver of the vehicle with respect to the detection of aggressive and/or aberrant driving behaviors of the driver and/or other users. In one aspect, a telematics analysis (TA) computing device for monitoring driving behavior of a driver of a vehicle may be provided. The TA server may include one processor in communication with a memory device, and the at least one processor may be configured to: (i) aggregate historical location data and historical telematics data from a plurality of users, wherein the historical location data and historical telematics data are gathered by one or more devices associated with each user of the plurality of users, (ii) generate mapping data based at least in part upon the historical location data and the historical telematics data, (iii) identify one or more stop locations based at least in part upon the mapping data, (iv) store, in the memory device, the identified stop locations, (v) receive, from a user computing device associated with the driver of the vehicle, current location data and current telematics data after each trip taken by the driver, (vi) compare the current location data and the current telematics data to the identified stop locations, (vii) generate stop data associated with the driver for each trip taken by the driver, wherein the stop data includes whether the driver stopped at the identified stop locations during each trip, and/or (viii) determine one or more driving behaviors of the driver based at least in part upon the stop data, wherein the one or more driving behaviors includes how the driver behaves at the identified stop locations. The computing device may include additional, less, or alternative functionally, including that described elsewhere herein. In another aspect, a computer-implemented method for monitoring driving behavior of a driver of a vehicle using a telematics analytics (TA) computing device including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device may be provided. The method may include: (i) aggregating historical location data and historical telematics data from a plurality of users, wherein the historical location data and historical telematics data are gathered by one or more devices associated with each user of the plurality of users, (ii) generating mapping data based at least in part upon the historical location data and the historical telematics data, (iii) identifying one or more stop locations based at least in part upon the mapping data, (iv) storing, in the memory device, the identified stop locations, (v) receiving
