Method and System for creating a report comprising of a generated score directly associated to individual drivers Mobile Technology Use During Road Travel (MTUDRT).
First Claim
1. This invention claims the method of gathering data of actions and/or interactions associated to the use of Multi-function Mobile Communication Devices (MMCD) mostly comprising of what is currently known as smartphones yet inclusive of any MMCD allowing for the downloading of software applications by direct wire or wireless connection to the internet or intranet whether handheld, hands-free, or on a motor vehicle console among other options, primarily during road travel, for the creation of a Driver Accountability Report (DAR) essentially providing an assessment of the propensity of Mobile Technology Use (MTU) associated to individual drivers with a rating in the form of a score and visualizations which may be used as a gauge of distracted driving as it relates to Mobile Technology Use During Road Travel (MTUDRT). Mobile Technology Use (MTU) of MMCD for said report is gathered via executable software in the form of a mobile software application downloadable to a MMCD or as a native application to the MMCD.

Abstract
A method of gathering data of actions/interactions associated to the use of Multi-function Mobile Communication Devices (MMCD), mostly devices known as Smartphones. Through the use of software application, mobile use determination data is collected and utilized into an algorithm for the creation of a score then reflected on a Driver Accountability Report (DAR). This report provides an assessment of the propensity of Mobile Technology Use (MTU) associated to individual drivers via a rating in the form of a score and visualizations which may be used as a gauge of distracted driving levels as it relates to Mobile Technology Use During Road Travel (MTUDRT).
