1. A method comprising:
- generating, in a motion sensing device disposed in a vehicle and adapted to monitor movements of a vehicle operator, sensor data;
pre-processing, in an on-board computer of the vehicle, the sensor data to generate data about vehicle operator behavior, wherein pre-processing the sensor data includes identifying a plurality of types of movement of the vehicle operator;
retrieving, by a computing device disposed at a location different from a location of the vehicle, the data about vehicle operator behavior from the vehicle via a computer network;
clustering, by one or more processors of the computing device that are specifically configured by a first routine, the data about vehicle operator behavior into a plurality of groups of data, each of the plurality of groups of data representing a different one of the plurality of types of movement of the vehicle operator;
determining, by the one or more processors, a numerical level of risk corresponding to each of the plurality of groups of data by executing a learning routine specifically configured to determine the numerical level of risk based on correlations between types of movement of vehicle operators and levels of risk;
repeatedly sending, by the one or more processors, an alert to the vehicle operator, wherein the alert is generated based on the one or more of the numerical levels of risk or the types of movements corresponding to the plurality of groups of data, and wherein the alert includes one or more of an audible alert, a visual alert, or a tactile alert;
receiving an alert confirmation from the vehicle operator indicating that the vehicle operator has received the alert; and
in response to receiving the alert confirmation, ceasing sending the alert to the vehicle operator.

Abstract
A method comprises retrieving data about vehicle operator behavior via a computer network and clustering the data about vehicle operator behavior into a plurality of groups of data, each of the plurality of groups of data representing a type of movement of the vehicle operator. The method further includes determining a numerical level of risk corresponding to each of the plurality of groups of data by executing a learning routine and generating a communication to be transmitted to user of a remote computing device. The communication is based on the one or more of the numerical levels of risk or the types of movements corresponding to the plurality of groups of data.
