METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE OPERATION ANALYSIS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- processing, using a mobile device including a processor, image data obtained with respect to a vehicle to identify an object in the image data;
measuring, using the mobile device, a geographic location of the vehicle;
determining, using the mobile device, an operating state of the vehicle;
analyzing the object in the image data, the geographic location, and the operating state of the vehicle to determine a behavior of the vehicle;
generating a score for a driver associated with the vehicle by comparing the behavior of the vehicle with a reference behavior, the reference behavior quantified by one or more driving metrics; and
outputting the score.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed to monitor and evaluate vehicle operator behavior. An example method includes processing, using a particularly programmed processor, image data obtained with respect to a vehicle to identify an object in the image data. The example method includes measuring, using the mobile device, a geographic location of the vehicle. The example method includes determining, using the mobile device, an operating state of the vehicle. The example method includes analyzing the object in the image data, the geographic location, and the operating state of the vehicle to determine a behavior of the vehicle. The example method includes generating a score for a driver associated with the vehicle by comparing the behavior of the vehicle with a reference behavior, the reference behavior quantified by one or more driving metrics. The example method includes outputting the score.
