Device and method for detecting and preprocessing vehicle, traffic and/or driver related data

A method of recording and preprocessing data, comprising:

• recording data pertaining to a vehicle and a traffic situation during a vehicle trip;
• identifying at least one specified occupant of the vehicle and recording biodata of the at least one specified occupant of the vehicle including at least one of a heart rate, respiration data, a temperature, and eye activity data as further data during the vehicle trip;
• compiling locations of the data recording;
• compiling times of the data recording;
• preprocessing the recorded data to obtain derived data and reduce the recorded data;
• providing the preprocessed recorded data and the derived data for further analysis;
• wherein at least one of the recorded data and the derived data is correlated with a digital map;
• wherein the recorded data is uniquely assigned to the identified at least one specified occupant of the vehicle.

A method of recording and processing data pertaining to a vehicle and a traffic situation, comprising:

• recording the data during a vehicle trip;
• compiling locations of the data recording;
• compiling times of the data recording;
• preprocessing the recorded data to obtain derived data and reduce the recorded data;
• providing the preprocessed recorded data and the derived data for further analysis;
• further processing the preprocessed recorded data and the derived data at least one of by deriving long-term statistics and by deriving short-term statistics;
• wherein at least one of the recorded data and the derived data is correlated with a digital map;
• and
• wherein the recording, the compiling of locations, the compiling of times, the preprocessing, and the providing of the recorded data and the derived data are performed at the vehicle.

A method of recording and preprocessing data pertaining to a vehicle and a traffic situation for a further analysis, comprising:

• recording the data during a vehicle trip;
• compiling locations of the data recording;
• compiling times of the data recording;
• preprocessing the recorded data to obtain derived data and reduce the recorded data;
• providing the preprocessed recorded data and the derived data for further analysis;
• wherein at least one of the recorded data and the derived data is correlated with a digital map;
• wherein the recording, the compiling of locations, the compiling of times, the preprocessing, and the providing of the recorded data and the derived data are performed at the vehicle;
• wherein the preprocessing enables a reduction in an amount of the data that has been recorded in the recording step;
• and
• wherein at least one specified occupant of the vehicle is identified and the recorded data is uniquely assigned to the specified occupant of the vehicle.
