<p>A vehicle monitoring system (1) has a vehicle mounted electronic device (7) and an associated remote monitoring station (8) which are interconnected by a communications link. The device (7) is connected to a GPS system which provides speed and location data for the vehicle which is independent of driver control. Additional data relevant to safe operation of the vehicle can also be collected. Some of the data is stored at intervals in the device (7) for later transmission to the remote monitoring station (8). The length of the intervals between data storage operations depends on the measured speed of the vehicle and the rate of change of speed of the vehicle. The data collected can be used to generate a report profile of the manner in which the driver drives the vehicle in order to calculate a suitable insurance premium for that driver.</p> |
