1. A method for determining a driver'"'"'s driving skill, said method comprising:
- determining a vehicle speed signal;
determining whether the vehicle speed signal during a predetermined time window is greater than a predetermined speed threshold;
determining whether a vehicle transmission gear is in reverse;
determining that the vehicle is in a backup maneuver if the vehicle speed signal during the predetermined time window is greater than the speed threshold and the transmission gear is in reverse;
determining that the vehicle backup maneuver has ended if the vehicle transmission gear is still in reverse and the vehicle speed signal is less than the predetermined speed threshold during a second time window; and
classifying the driver'"'"'s driving skill using information obtained during the backup maneuver.

Abstract
A system and method that classifies driver driving skill based on backup maneuvers. The system determines a vehicle speed signal and a vehicle backup gear position. The system determines that the vehicle has made a backup maneuver using the vehicle speed signal and the backup gear position and then classifies the driver'"'"'s driving skill using selected discriminant features obtained or derived from the backup maneuver.
