Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to transportation systems. More particularly, embodiments relate to methods and systems of vehicle data collection by a user having a mobile device. In a particular embodiment, vehicle movement data (also termed herein “driving data” or “data”) is collected, analyzed and transformed, and combinations of collected data and transformed data are used in different ways, including, but not limited to, reporting and display of the combinations.

Claims

1. A method of displaying vehicle movement information, the method comprising:

obtaining a plurality of movement measurements from a mobile device in a vehicle during a drive;

correlating a subset of the plurality of movement measurements to at least one event during the drive;

generating a graphical image of the at least one event; and

displaying the graphical image on the mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

identifying a deceleration threshold; and

determining a deceleration measurement for the subset of the plurality of movement measurements, wherein correlating the subset to the at least one event occurs when the deceleration measurement exceeds the deceleration threshold.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

identifying an acceleration threshold; and

determining an acceleration measurement for the subset of the plurality of movement measurements, wherein correlating the subset to the at least one event occurs when the acceleration measurement exceeds the acceleration threshold.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

identifying a lateral acceleration threshold; and

determining a lateral acceleration measurement for the subset of the plurality of movement measurements, wherein correlating the subset to the at least one event occurs when the lateral acceleration measurement exceeds the lateral acceleration threshold.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the graphical image comprises:

identifying a map associated with the plurality of movement measurements;

plotting a route of the drive on the map using the plurality of movement measurements;

labeling the at least one event on the route; and

displaying the map, the route, and the at least one labeled event.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

receiving a selection of the at least one labeled event; and

highlighting the correlated subset of the plurality of movement measurements on the displayed route.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

generating at least one event score for the at least one event using the subset of the plurality of movement measurements; and

displaying the at least one event score on the mobile device.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

generating a drive score for the drive using the at least one event score; and

displaying the drive score on the mobile device.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

aggregating the drive score for the drive and other drive scores for other drives associated with the mobile device;

generating a driver score for a user of the mobile device using the aggregated drive scores; and

displaying the driver score on the mobile device.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

identifying a start location associated with a first movement measurement of the plurality of movement measurements during the drive;

identifying an end location associated with a last movement measurement of the plurality of movement measurements during the drive; and

displaying at least one of the start location or the end location on the mobile device.

11. A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

obtain a plurality of movement measurements from a mobile device in a vehicle during a drive;

correlate a subset of the plurality of movement measurements to at least one event during the drive;

generate a graphical image of the at least one event; and

display the graphical image on the mobile device.

12. The computer-program product of claim 11, wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

identify a deceleration threshold; and

determine a deceleration measurement for the subset of the plurality of movement measurements, wherein correlating the subset to the at least one event occurs when the deceleration measurement exceeds the deceleration threshold.

13. The computer-program product of claim 11, wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

identify an acceleration threshold; and

determine an acceleration measurement for the subset of the plurality of movement measurements, wherein correlating the subset to the at least one event occurs when the acceleration measurement exceeds the acceleration threshold.

14. The computer-program product of claim 11, wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

identify a lateral acceleration threshold; and

determine a lateral acceleration measurement for the subset of the plurality of movement measurements, wherein correlating the subset to the at least one event occurs when the lateral acceleration measurement exceeds the lateral acceleration threshold.

15. The computer-program product of claim 11, wherein generating the graphical image comprises:

identifying a map associated with the plurality of movement measurements;

plotting a route of the drive on the map using the plurality of movement measurements;

labeling the at least one event on the route; and

displaying the map, the route, and the at least one labeled event.

16. The computer-program product of claim 15, wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

receive a selection of the at least one labeled event; and

highlight the correlated subset of the plurality of movement measurements on the displayed route.

17. The computer-program product of claim 11, wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

generate at least one event score for the at least one event using the subset of the plurality of movement measurements; and

display the at least one event score on the mobile device.

18. The computer-program product of claim 17, wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

generate a drive score for the drive using the at least one event score; and

display the drive score on the mobile device.

19. The computer-program product of claim 18, wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

aggregate the drive score for the drive and other drive scores for other drives associated with the mobile device;

generate a driver score for a user of the mobile device using the aggregated drive scores; and

display the driver score on the mobile device.

20. The computer-program product of claim 11, wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

identify a start location associated with a first movement measurement of the plurality of movement measurements during the drive;

identify an end location associated with a last movement measurement of the plurality of movement measurements during the drive; and

display at least one of the start location or the end location on the mobile device.
