Abstract

A safety score using video data but without video comprises an input interface and a processor. The input interface is configured to receive sensor data. The processor is configured to provide the sensor data to a safety score determiner, and determine a safety score using the safety score determiner without using inward facing video data, wherein the safety score determiner has been trained using a data set that includes sensor data with inward facing video data. The system for determining a safety score additionally comprises a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

Claims

1. A method for determining a safety score, comprising:

receiving maneuver data;

rendering, by a processor, video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface;

receiving at least one selection of the at least one hazard option;

determining, by the processor, a first safety score based on the received at least one selection;

associating, by the processor, the determined first safety score with the maneuver data; and

outputting, by the processor, the association of the determined first safety score with the maneuver data.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the received maneuver data includes a maneuver vector.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the received maneuver data includes a maneuver vector and associated video.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the determination of the first safety score includes summing a set of safety scores associated with each of the at least one hazard option.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the association of the determined first safety score with the maneuver data is output to an automatic safety score determiner.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the association of the determined first safety score with the maneuver data is output to an automatic safety score database.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the rendering of video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface includes video captured by an inward camera.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the rendering of video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface includes video captured by a forward camera.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the rendering of video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface includes displaying video captured by an inward camera and video captured by a forward camera side by side.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the rendered at least one corresponding hazard option includes cell phone usage.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the rendered at least one corresponding hazard option includes eating while driving.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the rendered at least one corresponding hazard option includes cornering.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the rendered at least one corresponding hazard option includes cornering and an associated direction.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the rendered at least one corresponding hazard option includes following within a threshold distance of a preceding vehicle.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the rendered at least one corresponding hazard option includes a collision.

16. The method of claim 1, the rendering of video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface includes rendering an option to advance to a next event.

17. The method of claim 1, the rendering of video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface includes rendering an option to advance to a previous event.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving at least one selection of the at least one hazard option includes a safety review.

19. A system for determining a safety score, comprising:

a communications interface configured to receive maneuver data; and

a processor configured to;

render video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface;

receive, via the communications interface, at least one selection of the at least one hazard option;

determine a first safety score based on the received at least one selection;

associate the determined first safety score with the maneuver data; and

output the association of the determined first safety score with the maneuver data.

20. A computer program product for determining a safety score, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving maneuver data;

rendering, by a processor, video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface;

receiving at least one selection of the at least one hazard option;

determining, by the processor, a first safety score based on the received at least one selection;

associating, by the processor, the determined first safety score with the maneuver data; and

outputting, by the processor, the association of the determined first safety score with the maneuver data.
