System and method for monitoring and updating speed-by-street data

摘要

System and method for identifying speeding violations, comprising determining a current speed and a current location of a vehicle, determining a posted speed limit for the current location from a speed-by-street database, comparing the current speed of the vehicle to the posted speed limit, and evaluating whether the current speed exceeds the posted speed limit. Errors are identified in the speed-by-street database by storing a plurality of speeding violation records, wherein the speeding violation records each include a speeding event location; analyzing the speeding violation records to identify one or more speeding event locations having multiple speeding violations; comparing a posted speed limit at the one or more speeding event locations having multiple speeding violations to corresponding speed limit data in the speed-by-street database; and identifying one or more speed limit entries in the speed-by-street database that do not match the posted speed limit.

1. A method implemented by a computing system for identifying one or more speeding violations of a vehicle having a GPS receiver and an on-board diagnostics system, comprising:
the computing system receiving information from at least one of the GPS receiver and the on-board diagnostics system, the information corresponding to at least a location and a speed of the vehicle; the computing system identifying the speed of the vehicle at the location with at least the received information; the computing system determining a posted speed limit for the location from a speed-by-street database; the computing system evaluating whether the speed of the vehicle at the location exceeds one or more of a first threshold, a second threshold or a third threshold, the first threshold, the second threshold and the third threshold being based on at least the posted speed limit for the location; the computing system determining that a speeding event has occurred upon determining that the speed of the vehicle exceeds at least one of the first threshold, the second threshold or the third threshold; the computing system generating a response to the speeding event, wherein a different response is generated depending on whether the speeding event corresponds to the vehicle exceeding the first threshold, the second threshold and/or the third threshold, wherein exceeding the first threshold results in recording the speeding event as a speeding violation record, wherein exceeding the second threshold results in providing a warning that is rendered within the vehicle, and wherein exceeding the third threshold results in sending a speeding violation notice to another computing system; and the computing system transmitting, to a remote monitoring system, collected driver performance data, including at least the speed of the vehicle and the result of the evaluating.
