Vehicle operator performance history recording, scoring and reporting systems
First Claim
1. A system configured to determine a vehicle operator performance measure and improve vehicle operator performance, the system comprising:
- an operator identity system configured to receive operator identity information that identifies periods of time a vehicle operator operates a vehicle;
an associator configured to;
obtain the operator identity information;
receive event records that include information related to vehicle operation during vehicle events;
associate event records for vehicle events that occur while the vehicle operator operates the vehicle with the operator identity information; and
form datasets comprising the operator identity information and the associated event records; and
an analyzer configured to;
analyze the datasets to determine a vehicle operator performance measure for the vehicle operator;
generate vehicle operator performance counseling information based on the vehicle operator performance measure, wherein the vehicle operator performance counseling information includes progressive discipline information determined based on one or more of;
(i) a quantity of vehicle events during the periods of time the vehicle operator operates the vehicle,(ii) a type of vehicle events during the periods of time the vehicle operator operates the vehicle,(iii) a severity of vehicle events during the periods of time the vehicle operator operates the vehicle, and/or(iv) a number of prior counseling sessions,wherein the progressive discipline information includes an assessment of whether performance of the vehicle operator improved in response to the prior counseling sessions; and
facilitate presentation of the vehicle operator performance counseling information to the vehicle operator.

Abstract
A driver history report may include many factors to express performance or quality of driver service. Vehicle event recorders are coupled to systems which form an association between collected data and the vehicle operator in command of the vehicle at the event moment. Systems provide means for long-term storage of data particularly data in a structure which preserves the association between a driver and event records attributed to him. Special recall operations executed against stored data yields operator performance reporting—including a single value performance score indicative of a vehicle operator'"'"'s performance and safety history. An analyzer system operates to recall data, particularly data from a plurality of events all associated with a single operator but recorded over an extended period of time. Data is arranged such that mathematical analysis may be applied independently to various data elements or data “fields” to produce performance metrics and ratios which reflect performance.

7. A method for determining a vehicle operator performance measure, the method comprising:
-
receiving operator identity information that identifies periods of time a vehicle operator operates a vehicle, the operator identity information including a vehicle operator identifier, a vehicle identifier, and time ranges that correspond to the periods of time the vehicle operator operates the vehicle; receiving event records that include information related to vehicle operation during vehicle events from a vehicle event recorder; associating event records for vehicle events that occur while the vehicle operator operates the vehicle with the operator identity information; forming datasets comprising the operator identity information and the associated event records; transmitting the datasets to a data store; analyzing the datasets to determine a vehicle operator performance measure for the vehicle operator, the analysis of the datasets based on a mathematical algorithm determined based on one or more of the operator identity information or the associated event records; generating vehicle operator performance counseling information based on the vehicle operator performance measure, wherein the vehicle operator performance counseling information includes progressive discipline information determined based on one or more of; (i) a quantity of vehicle events during the periods of time the vehicle operator operates the vehicle, (ii) a type of vehicle events during the periods of time the vehicle operator operates the vehicle, (iii) a severity of vehicle events during the periods of time the vehicle operator operates the vehicle, and/or (iv) a number of prior counseling sessions, wherein the progressive discipline information includes an assessment of whether performance of the vehicle operator improved in response to the prior counseling sessions; and facilitating presentation of the vehicle operator performance counseling information to the vehicle operator. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
