Recording, Monitoring, and Analyzing Driver Behavior
First Claim
1. A system adapted to monitor, record and analyze driver performance, the system comprising:
- a vehicle sensor module adapted to receive data from a set of sensors that each measure a driving characteristic associated with a vehicle;
a map data access module adapted to retrieve, from a map database, map data elements indicating various features associated with at least one path of the vehicle; and
a driver behavior engine adapted to receive information from the vehicle sensor module and the map data access module, and to monitor and evaluate driver performance based on the received information.

Abstract
A system adapted to monitor, record and analyze driver performance is described. The system includes: a vehicle sensor module adapted to receive data from a set of sensors that each measure a driving characteristic associated with a vehicle; a map data access module adapted to retrieve, from a map database, map data elements indicating various features associated with at least one path of the vehicle; and a driver behavior engine adapted to receive information from the vehicle sensor module and the map data access module, and to monitor and evaluate driver performance based on the received information.

8. An automated method of evaluating driver performance, the method comprising:
-
receiving a set of map data elements indicating various features associated with a path of a vehicle; receiving a set of measured parameters from a set of sensors associated with the vehicle; defining a set of evaluation curves based on the received set of map data elements; and comparing each evaluation curve from the set of evaluation curves to a performance curve generated at least partly based on the set of measured parameters. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A curve-based automated method of analyzing driver behavior when operating a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
generating a set of reference curves based at least partly on a profile associated with the vehicle and a particular driver; generating a measured performance curve based at least partly on data received from a set of sensors adapted to measure various parameters associated with the vehicle; and comparing the set of reference curves to the measured performance curve. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
