Abstract
Methods, systems, and software for monitoring and analyzing driver event data is disclosed. The system may include a personal communication device and the report may be scaled such that most, or all of the drivers, are indicated as being above average.
Claims20
A method of operating a driver analysis system, the method comprising:
- receiving vehicle operation data from a vehicle monitoring system corresponding to operation of a plurality of vehicles operated by a plurality of drivers;
- identifying from the plurality of drivers a peer group associated with a target driver;
- processing at least a portion of the vehicle operation data to determine driving performance of the target driver relative to driving performance of the peer group;
- generating a driving report which identifies the driving performance of the target driver, wherein the target driver and the peer group is shown as being above average drivers;
- transferring the driving report to a device for viewing.

A driver analysis system comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive vehicle operation data corresponding to operation of a plurality of vehicles operated by a plurality of drivers;
- a processing system configured to identify from the plurality of drivers a peer group associated with a target driver, process at least a portion of the vehicle operation data to determine driving performance of the target driver relative to driving performance of the peer group, and generate a driving report which identifies the driving performance of the target driver, wherein the driving performance of the target driver and the peer group is log normalized such that the target driver and the drivers in the peer group appear to be above average to increase the confidence of the drivers in the system;
- the communication interface further configured to transfer the driving report to a target device for viewing by the target driver.
A driver analysis system, comprising:
- a plurality of monitoring systems located on board a plurality of vehicles associated with a plurality of drivers wherein the plurality of monitoring systems are configured to transmit vehicle operation data corresponding to operation of the plurality of vehicles;
- a server configured to receive the vehicle operation data over a network at a communication interface, identify from the plurality of drivers a peer group associated with a target driver, process at least a portion of the vehicle operation data to determine driving performance of the target driver relative to driving performance of the peer group, generate a driving report which identifies the driving performance of the target driver, and transmit the driving report at the communication interface;
- a target device configured to receive the driving report over the network and display the driving report for viewing by the target driver,
- wherein target device comprises a personal communication device,
- wherein the driving performance of all drivers is log normalized such that at all drivers are indicated as being above average.
