Abstract

A system for processing data from motor vehicles includes a server with a databank and a master computer and a first transceiver. A plurality of motor vehicles include second transceivers and display devices. The server communicates with the motor vehicles using the first transceiver which is connected bi-directionally via a wireless connection with the second transceivers. The second transceivers of the motor vehicles transmit vehicle-specific data, parameters, and information to the first transceiver of the server which receives the data. The first transceiver of the server transmits processed data and information from the server to the second transceivers of the motor vehicles that receive this data. The vehicle-specific data can be transmitted and received in real time and displayed on the display devices in the motor vehicles in a comparative manner. The system may also be used in a method for evaluating driving.

Claims

1. A system for processing data from a plurality of motor vehicles comprising:

a server having a databank and a master computer and a first transceiver;

a plurality of second transceivers provided with each one of the motor vehicles;

the first transceiver in bidirectional communication wirelessly with the plurality of second transceivers; and

a plurality of display devices with each one of the motor vehicles, each one of the plurality of display devices configured to display vehicle-specific data,

where the server is configured to receive vehicle-specific data from the plurality of the motor vehicles, and the server is configured to process the vehicle-specific data, and transmit the processed vehicle-specific data to the plurality of the motor vehicles; and

wherein the processed vehicle-specific data for at least more than one of the plurality of motor vehicles is displayed in each of the plurality of motor vehicles.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein each of the vehicle-specific data corresponds to a driving stretch.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of display devices displays the vehicle-specific data over a time period.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein:

the server is configured to transmit maximum values, minimum values, and average values based on the vehicle-specific data of the plurality of motor vehicles to each of the plurality of motor vehicles, and

each of the plurality of display devices displays the maximum values, minimum values, and average values.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of motor vehicles includes a satellite-supported locating system belonging to a vehicle navigation system for ascertaining a geographic position of the motor vehicle.

6. The system according to claim 1, further comprising a sensor for measuring at least one of the plurality of vehicles driver'"'"'s pulse.

7. The system according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of distance sensors for measuring a distance of at least one of the plurality of motor vehicles in relation to objects in the surroundings of the at least of the plurality of motor vehicles.

8. A method for evaluating the driving, comprising:

determining vehicle-specific data from a plurality of motor vehicles;

transmitting the vehicle-specific data from the plurality of motor vehicles to a server;

receiving the vehicle-specific data transmitted from the motor vehicles by the server;

processing the vehicle-specific data by the server;

transmitting the processed data to the plurality of motor vehicles;

receiving the data processed by the server by the motor vehicles;

displaying the data from the plurality of motor vehicles on a display device in a comparative manner; and

evaluating the driving of each motor vehicle of the plurality of motor vehicles using the vehicle-specific data.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the vehicle-specific data of the plurality of motor vehicles is determined at a same time, transmitted to the server, received by the server, processed and transmitted to the plurality of motor vehicles, received by the motor vehicles and displayed on the display device so that the comparative evaluation of the driving of each motor vehicle of the plurality of motor vehicles in real time.

10. The method according to claim 8, wherein the evaluation of the driving is based on the fuel consumption and the emission of carbon dioxide.
