Methods and network nodes for notifying vehicle drivers about their driving
First Claim
1. A method performed in a network node for notifying a driver of a vehicle about his or her driving, the method comprising:
- receiving vehicle related information from a communication device capable of receiving data from a data collector of the vehicle, wherein the data collector is configured to obtain the vehicle related information from one or more sensors on the vehicle;
processing the vehicle related information to establish a driving indicator of a driver of the vehicle in relation to one or more other drivers, wherein processing the vehicle related information comprises calculating a driving indicator of the driver of the vehicle based on the vehicle related information and comparing the calculated driving indicator to driving indicators established for one or more drivers of a respective vehicle located within a first distance of the vehicle, and wherein the driving indicator comprises an estimated stress level of the driver; and
transmitting to the communication device data indicating the driving indicator of the driver of the vehicle in relation to other drivers.

10. A method performed in a communication device for notifying a driver of a vehicle about his or her driving, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from a data collector of the vehicle, vehicle related information; sending the vehicle related information to a network node, wherein the network node is configured to process the vehicle related information to establish a driving indicator of a driver of the vehicle in relation to one or more other drivers, the processing comprising;
(i) calculating a driving indicator of the driver of the vehicle based on the vehicle related information and (ii) comparing the calculated driving indicator to driving indicators established for one or more drivers of a respective vehicle located within a first distance of the vehicle; andreceiving from the network node data indicating the established driving indicator of the driver of the vehicle in relation to other drivers, wherein the established driving indicator comprises an estimated stress level of the driver.
