Driver's automatic emergency brake (AEB) handling score card

A method for controlling a vehicle using driving behavior involving automatic emergency braking (AEB) events of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• creating an index related to driving attributes of a user for handling automatic emergency braking (AEB) events, wherein the index includes a set of driving attributes and a set of categories for scoring a driving behavior of the user, wherein the set of categories indicate varying amounts of risk for the driving attributes of the user, wherein the set of driving attributes includes a deceleration profile of an AEB activation and a time between AEB activations;
• receiving, by an electronic processor, from a plurality of sensors of a vehicle, event data of an attribute of a driving behavior of a user related to handling an automatic emergency braking (AEB) event of a vehicle;
• assigning, by the electronic processor using the scoring index, a weighted value to the attribute based on a set of conditions for the attribute and the event data;
• determining, by the electronic processor using the scoring index, an event score of the driving behavior related to the AEB event based on the weighted value of the attribute;
• determining, by the electronic processor, a driving behavior score of the user based on the event score, wherein the driving behavior score is an overall score based on one or more AEB events handled by the user;
• responsive to determining the driving behavior score of the user is greater than a driving behavior threshold, activating, by the electronic processor, a vehicle countermeasure related to one or more attributes;
• and
• modifying, by the electronic processor, a sensor threshold related to initiation of a vehicle function based at least in part on the driving behavior score.

• a plurality of sensors;
• and
• an electronic processor configured to
• receive, from the plurality of sensors, event data of an attribute of the driving behavior of the user related to handling an AEB event of a vehicle;
• assign, using the scoring index, a weighted value to the attribute based on a set of conditions for the attribute and the event data;
• determine, using the scoring index, an event score of the driving behavior related to the AEB event based on the weighted value of the attribute;
• determine a driving behavior score of the user based on the event score, wherein the driving behavior score is an overall score based on one or more AEB events handled by the user;
• responsive to determining the driving behavior score of the user is greater than a driving behavior threshold, activate a vehicle countermeasure related to one or more attributes;
• and
• responsive to determining the weighted value of the attribute is greater than an attribute threshold value, activate a vehicle countermeasure related to the attribute.
