DRIVER RISK ASSESSMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD EMPLOYING AUTOMATED DRIVER LOG
First Claim
1. A system for automating driver logs, comprising:
- an interface to receive driving event data from an event capture device coupled to a vehicle;
a processor to;
associate an identification of a driver with the driving event data;
assign an event score to the driving event data;
generate a normalized factor based at least in part on the event score; and
generate a driver driving data log based at least in part on the normalized factor.

Abstract
A Driver Risk Assessment System and Method Employing Automated Driver Log. The system and method provides robust and reliable event scoring and reporting, while also optimizing data transmission bandwidth. The system includes onboard vehicular driving event detectors that record data related to detected driving events, vehicle condition and/or tasking, roadway environmental conditions, selectively store or transfer data related to said detected driving events. If elected, the onboard vehicular system will “score” a detected driving event, compare the local score to historical values previously stored within the onboard system, and upload selective data or data types if the system concludes that a serious driving event has occurred. The system may respond to independent user requests by transferring select data to said user at a variety of locations and formats. Furthermore, by tracking driver identity and other environmental factors, the system may be configured to generate a driver score, a driver log, and a dispatch log. The driver score can be normalized by consideration of environmental factors related to the strenuousness of the driver'"'"'s driving or the driving challenges experienced by the driver during his or her driving trip.
