US 11,688,209 B1 · Crowd-sourced driver grading

Abstract

An video analysis computing system driving analysis may include a camera associated with a first vehicle and having a viewing angle capable of capturing a video of one or more other vehicles in proximity to the first vehicle, a first memory location communicatively coupled to the camera, wherein the first memory location stores video data captured by the camera, and an evaluation module including a processor executing instructions that cause the processor to: evaluate the captured video stored in the first memory location to determine whether a driving event performed by a second vehicle has occurred, assign, in response to an identified driving event performed by the second vehicle, a driving event rating to a video showing the identified driving event, wherein the driving event rating may be calculated, at least in part, using a crowd-sourced driving event rating obtained after posting the video to a social network.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a data collection device associated with a first vehicle and capable of collecting driving data of one or more other vehicles, the one or more other vehicles including a second vehicle;
memory communicatively coupled to the data collection device, wherein the memory stores the collected driving data;
and
a processor executing instructions that cause the processor to:
process at least a portion of the collected driving data stored in the memory to determine a driving event performed by the second vehicle;
determine, by an event analyzer, a first event rating indicating a level of danger of the driving event, wherein determining the first event rating includes:
receiving other event ratings of the same driving event from a plurality of sources;
and
combining at least a portion of the received other ratings to determine the first event rating;
receive a second event rating of the driving event from a driver of the second vehicle;
determine an adjustment to the second event rating based on the determined first event rating;
and
adjust the second event rating based on the determined adjustment.

10 more elements

An apparatus comprising:

memory communicatively coupled to a data collection device, wherein the memory stores driving data obtained by a first vehicle;
and
a processor executing instructions that cause the processor to:
process at least a portion of the driving data stored in the memory to determine a driving event performed by a second vehicle different from the first vehicle;
determine, by an event analyzer, a first event rating of the driving event, wherein determining the first event rating includes:
receiving other event ratings of the same driving event from a plurality of sources;
and
combining at least a portion of the received other ratings to determine the first event rating;
receive a second event rating of the driving event from a driver of the second vehicle;
determine an adjustment to the second event rating based on the determined first event rating;
and
adjust the second event rating based on the determined adjustment.
