Identification of driver abnormalities in a traffic flow

摘要

Driving behavior may be analyzed based on other vehicles in proximity to a tracked or monitored vehicle. GPS data is collected from the monitored vehicle and other vehicles in physical or geographic proximity thereto. A determination is made as to whether the vehicle in the physical or geographical area is exhibiting aberrant behavior. The aberrant behavior may be determined in view of other vehicles in the geographical area. If aberrant behavior is detected, an alert may be generated and transmitted to an administrator.

主权项

1. A system for tracking vehicle behavior, the system comprising:
a communication receiver; a communication transmitter; a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and the communication receiver and the communication transmitter, wherein execution of instructions stored in the memory by the processor:
receives position data via the communication receiver from a plurality of positioning devices corresponding to a plurality of vehicles within a geographic area, wherein each positioning device of the plurality of positioning devices is coupled to a vehicle of the plurality of vehicles and captures a subset of the position data that corresponds to the vehicle using at least a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver,receives geographical data about the geographical area,calculates one or more values based on at least a subset of the captured position data associated with at least a first set of vehicles, the one or more values corresponding to a plurality of metrics associated with vehicle behavior, the first set of vehicles being at least a subset of the plurality of vehicles within the geographic area, the plurality of metrics including a lane change metric based on lane change behavior of each vehicle of the first set of vehicles,identifies a first vehicle of the first set of vehicles, the first vehicle corresponding to a first value of the one or more values, the first value corresponding to a first metric of the set of one or more metrics, the first value having exceeded a predetermined threshold associated with the first metric, andtransmits an alert to an administrator device via the communication transmitter, the alert identifying at least the first vehicle and the first metric.
