Driving event data analysis

A driving analysis system comprising a first vehicle on-board data recording system and a driving analysis server:

• wherein the first vehicle on-board data recording system comprises:
• one or more vehicle operation sensors configured to record data of a first type at a first vehicle, the data of the first type including vehicle operation data;
• one or more cameras or object proximity sensors configured to record data of a second type at the first vehicle, the second type being different from the first type;
• and
• one or more telematics devices configured to transmit the data of the first type and the data of the second type from the first vehicle to the driving analysis server,
• wherein the driving analysis server comprises a processor and a memory unit storing computer-executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the driving analysis server to:
• receive a driver score associated with a driver of the first vehicle;
• receive first data of the first type from the one or more telematics devices of the first vehicle on-board data recording system;
• identify an occurrence of a vehicle driving event based on the first data;
• determine a time and location of the vehicle driving event;
• in response to identifying the occurrence of the vehicle driving event, receive data of the second type from the one or more telematics devices of the first vehicle on-board data recording system, wherein the received data of the second type is associated with the occurrence of the vehicle driving event;
• analyze the data of the second type to determine whether an external cause for the occurrence of the vehicle driving event can be identified;
• responsive to determining that the external cause for the occurrence of the vehicle driving event cannot be identified:
• adjusting the driver score;
• responsive to determining that the external cause for the occurrence of the vehicle driving event can be identified:
• retrieve additional driver data;
• analyze the retrieved additional driver data to determine road conditions;
• responsive to determining the additional driver data corresponds to first road conditions, compare the additional driver data to a first set of driving metric thresholds;
• responsive to determining the additional driver data corresponds to second road conditions, compare the additional drive data to a second set of driving metric thresholds;
• responsive to determining, based on the comparing, that the additional driver data was less than one of the first set of driving metric thresholds and second set of driving metric thresholds, determining that the external cause was not at least one of unsafe or high-risk driving and maintaining the driver score;
• responsive to determining, based on the comparing, that the additional driver data was greater than one of the first set of driving metric thresholds and second set of driving metric thresholds, determining that the external cause was at least one of the unsafe or the high-risk driving and adjusting the driver score;
• and
• transmit a report of the occurrence of the vehicle driving event to an external system if the identified external cause corresponds to at least one of the high-risk or the unsafe driving by the driver of the first vehicle.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computing device to:

• receive a driver score associated with a driver of a first vehicle;
• receive first vehicle driving data collected by vehicle operation sensors within the first vehicle;
• analyze the received first vehicle driving data to identify an occurrence of a vehicle driving event, the vehicle driving event being at least one of:
• of sudden braking by the first vehicle, swerving by the first vehicle, or an impact by the first vehicle, based on the first vehicle driving data;
• determine a time and location of the occurrence of the vehicle driving event;
• retrieve, based on the time and location of the occurrence of the vehicle driving event and from one or more data sources, at least one of image data, video data and/or proximity data associated with the occurrence of the vehicle driving event;
• analyze the retrieved at least one of:
• image data, video data and/or proximity data to determine whether an external cause for the occurrence of the vehicle driving event can be identified;
• responsive to determining that the external cause for the occurrence of the vehicle driving event cannot be identified:
• adjusting the driver score;
• responsive to determining that the external cause for the occurrence of the vehicle driving event can be identified:
• retrieve additional driver data;
• analyze the retrieved additional driver data to determine road conditions;
• responsive to determining the additional driver data corresponds to first road conditions, compare the additional driver data to a first set of driving metric thresholds;
• responsive to determining the additional driver data corresponds to second road conditions, compare the additional drive data to a second set of driving metric thresholds;
• responsive to determining, based on the comparing, that the additional driver data was less than one of the first set of driving metric thresholds and second set of driving metric thresholds, determining that the external cause was not at least one of unsafe or high-risk driving and maintaining the driver score;
• responsive to determining, based on the comparing, that the additional driver data was greater than one of the first set of driving metric thresholds and second set of driving metric thresholds, determining that the external cause was at least one of the unsafe or the high-risk driving and adjusting the driver score;
• and
• transmitting a report of the occurrence of the vehicle driving event to an external system if the identified external cause corresponds to at least one of the high-risk or the unsafe driving by the driver of the first vehicle.
