Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to record vehicle inputs during travel over a predefined distance. The processor is also configured to record environmental variables during travel over the predefined distance. Further, the processor is configured to record vehicle state changes during travel over the predefined distance. The processor is additionally configured to compare the inputs, variables and state changes to predetermined values to determine if a correlation, indicating a predefined condition, exists. Also, the processor is configured to record the predefined condition as occurring over the predefined distance if the correlation indicates the predefined condition.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- record vehicle inputs during travel over a predefined distance;
- record environmental variables during travel over the predefined distance;
- record vehicle state changes during travel over the predefined distance;
- compare the inputs, variables and state changes to predetermined values to determine if a correlation, indicating a predefined condition, exists;
- and
- record the predefined condition as occurring over the predefined distance if the correlation indicates the predefined condition.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- recording vehicle inputs during travel over a predefined distance;
- recording environmental variables during travel over the predefined distance;
- recording vehicle state changes during travel over the predefined distance;
- comparing, via a computer, the inputs, variables and state changes to predetermined values to determine if a correlation, indicating a predefined condition, exists;
- and
- recording the predefined condition as occurring over the predefined distance if the correlation indicates the predefined condition.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions, which, when executed, cause a processor to perform a computer-implemented method comprising:
- recording vehicle inputs during travel over a predefined distance;
- recording environmental variables during travel over the predefined distance;
- recording vehicle state changes during travel over the predefined distance;
- comparing, via a computer, the inputs, variables and state changes to predetermined values to determine if a correlation, indicating a predefined condition, exists;
- and
- recording the predefined condition as occurring over the predefined distance if the correlation indicates the predefined condition.
