Driver risk assessment system and method having calibrating automatic event scoring

摘要

A Driver Risk Assessment System and Method Having Calibrating Automatic Event Scoring is disclosed. The system and method provide robust and reliable event scoring and reporting, while also optimizing data transmission bandwidth. The system includes onboard vehicular driving event detectors that record data related to detected driving events and selectively store or transfer data related to said detected driving events. If elected, the onboard vehicular system will score a detected driving event, compare the local score to historical values previously stored within the onboard system, and upload selective data or data types to a remote server or user if the system concludes that a serious driving event has occurred. Importantly, the onboard event scoring system, if enabled, will continuously evolve and improve in its reliability by being periodically re-calibrated with the ongoing reliability results of manual human review of automated predictive event reports. The system may further respond to independent user requests by transferring select data to said user at a variety of locations and formats.

主权项

1. A system for automated event scoring, comprising:
an automated scoring module for determining an automated score data; an event detector attached to a vehicle with one or more sensors, wherein the event detector comprises a processor configured for: receiving data from the one or more sensors; capturing driving event data associated with a driving event based at least on an event trigger using the one or more sensors; receiving a manual scoring data related to a previous driving event; calibrating the automated scoring module using the manual scoring data; and determining the automated score data for the driving event using the automated scoring module; determining whether a serious driving event has occurred based at least on the automated score data; in the event that a serious driving event has occurred, uploading the data to a remote server.
