System and method for displaying a driving profile

A method for analyzing and evaluating the performance and behavior of the driver of a vehicle, comprising:

• (a) monitoring the state of a vehicle to obtain a raw data stream corresponding thereto;
• (b) from the raw data stream detecting driving events and generating therefrom a driving event string containing at least one driving event representation corresponding thereto;
• (c) from said driving event string, constructing and outputting a driving maneuver representation containing a representation of at least one driving maneuver;
• (d) calculating one or more ratings of the driver's driving performance;
• and
• (e) displaying the ratings on a display.

A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for analyzing and evaluating the performance and behavior of the driver of a vehicle, comprising:

• (a) obtain a raw data stream corresponding thereto;
• (b) from the raw data stream detecting driving events and generating therefrom a driving event string containing at least one driving event representation corresponding thereto;
• (c) from said driving event string, constructing and outputting a driving maneuver representation containing a representation of at least one driving maneuver;
• (d) calculating one or more ratings of the driver's driving performance;
• and
• (e) displaying the ratings on a display.

A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein for analyzing and evaluating the performance and behavior of the driver of a vehicle, the computer program product comprising:

• computer readable program code for causing the computer to receive a raw data stream indicative of a state of the vehicle;
• computer readable program code for causing the computer to detect from the raw data stream driving events and generating therefrom a driving event string containing at least one driving event representation corresponding thereto;
• computer readable program code for causing the computer to construct and output from said driving event string, a driving maneuver representation containing a representation of at least one driving maneuver;
• computer readable program code for causing the computer to calculate one or more ratings of the driver's driving performance;
• and
• computer readable program code for causing the computer to displaying the ratings on a display.
