DRIVING BEHAVIOR MONITORING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a controller configured for communication with a driving behavior scoring server via a telecommunications network;
an on-board diagnostic module adapted to be mounted in a vehicle, the on-board diagnostic module comprising;
an accelerometer;
a vehicle usage monitor operative to monitor usage of the vehicle and to generate vehicle usage data based on at least one usage characteristic of the vehicle;
a transceiver comprising an on-board diagnostic port device, wherein the transceiver is configured to;
selectively determine vehicle usage data for transmission to the controller, wherein the vehicle usage date includes accelerometer data; and
transmit the selectively determined vehicle usage data to the driving behavior scoring server via the controller.

Abstract
A driving behavior monitoring system (11) comprising an on-board diagnostic module (3) adapted to be mounted in a vehicle, the on-board diagnostics module comprising a vehicle usage monitor operative to monitor usage of the vehicle and to generate vehicle usage data based on at least one usage characteristic of the vehicle, the system further comprising a controller (5) and a driving behavior scoring server (9) arranged to be in real-time communication with the controller via a telecommunications network, the on-board diagnostic module further comprising a transceiver operative to transmit the vehicle usage data to the server via the controller, the server comprising a database (12) on which vehicle usage data is stored, the server further comprising a data processor operative to generate a driving behavior score by processing the vehicle usage data generated by the on-board diagnostic module and the road usage data stored on the database.

19. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a transceiver in communication with an on-board diagnostic port, accelerometer data using an on-board diagnostic module, the on-board diagnostic module adapted to be mounted in a vehicle to monitor usage of the vehicle; generating vehicle usage data based on at least one usage characteristic of the vehicle; selectively determining, for transmission, vehicle usage data including accelerometer data; transmitting, to a driving behavior scoring server via a telecommunications network, the selectively determined vehicle usage data; providing a database on which road usage data is stored; generating a driving behavior score by processing the vehicle usage data and the road usage data; and displaying an indication of the driving behavior score. - View Dependent Claims (20)
