1. An in-vehicle telematics unit comprising:
- one or more data processors;
a vehicle subsystem interface to connect the telematics unit with one or more vehicle subsystems of a vehicle;
a network interface to connect the telematics unit with a central server via a network; and
telematics unit processing logic, executable by the one or more data processors, to;
receive vehicle data from the vehicle subsystems via the vehicle subsystem interface;
correlate the vehicle data to a corresponding set of preprocessing events representing activity or state transitions occurring in the vehicle;
aggregate the set of preprocessing events into a plurality of data blocks, wherein each data block corresponds to a user-configurable time frame; and
transfer the plurality of data blocks to the central server via the network interface.

Abstract
Systems and methods for driver evaluation, rating, and skills improvement are disclosed. A particular embodiment is configured to: receive vehicle data from vehicle subsystems of a vehicle via a vehicle subsystem interface; correlate the vehicle data to a corresponding set of preprocessing events representing activity or state transitions occurring in the vehicle; aggregate the set of preprocessing events into a plurality of data blocks, wherein each data block corresponds to a user-configurable time frame; and transfer the plurality of data blocks to a central server via a network interface and a network.

8. A central server comprising:
-
one or more data processors; a network interface to connect the central server with a telematics unit in a vehicle and at least one client device via a network; and server processing logic, executable by the one or more data processors, to; receive a plurality of data blocks from the telematics unit, each data block including a set of preprocessing events representing activity or state transitions occurring in the vehicle, wherein each data block corresponds to a user-configurable time frame; generate a Degree of Trip Difficulty (DTD) value and a Raw Driver Score (RDS) value from the plurality of data blocks; generate a normalized Driver Evaluation Rating (DER) from the DTD value and the RDS value; and transfer the DER to a user interface of the at least one client device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
