Method and system for driver monitoring by fusing contextual data with event data to determine context as cause of event

A system for driver monitoring, the system comprising:

• an event detector for detecting an event from event data received from one or more inertial sensors associated with a vehicle of a driver or with the driver;
• a context detector for determining a context from an audio or video feed received from one or more devices associated with the vehicle or the driver;
• an analyser for fusing the event with the context to determine the context as a cause of the event;
• and
• a scorer for assigning a score to a driver performance metric based at least on the context and the event.

A method for driver monitoring, the method comprising:

• detecting a vehicle event from vehicle event data, wherein the vehicle event indicates a change in state of a vehicle;
• detecting a driver event from driver event data, wherein the driver event indicates a change in state of a driver;
• detecting a compliance event from compliance event data, wherein the compliance event indicates an event related to compliance;
• analyzing at least two of the vehicle event data, the driver event data, and the compliance event data to determine relationship between at least two of the vehicle event data, the driver event data, and the compliance event data;
• and
• assigning a score to a driver profile based at least on the determined relationship.
