1. A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle computer programmed to,store vehicle speed data in a memory,output a smoothness rating of the vehicle at a display, the smoothness rating generated based on a comparison between a speed profile of the vehicle associated with a road segment based on the vehicle speed data and a nominal velocity profile of a plurality of vehicles that have driven on the road segment.

Abstract
A method of rating driver effectiveness based on vehicle data compared to other vehicles that have driven over the same road segment includes storing driving speed data over a road segment for a plurality of vehicles. The method further includes calculating a nominal speed profile for the road segment based on the driving speed data. The method further includes comparing a speed profile of a subject vehicle to the nominal speed profile for the road segment and displaying a smoothness rating of the subject vehicle based on deviation of the speed profile from the nominal speed profile.

17. A driver performance server comprising:
-
a processor configured to communicate with a vehicle computing system (VCS), the processor programmed to, in response to vehicle data including a location and vehicle speed received from the VCS, retrieve a road segment, calculate a nominal velocity for the road segment based on a plurality of vehicles that have driven on the road segment; and calculate a smoothness rating based on the nominal velocity and the vehicle speed; and transmit the smoothness rating to the VCS. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
