DYNAMIC OPERATOR BEHAVIOR ANALYZER
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented process for providing dynamic industrial vehicle monitoring for modification of vehicle operator behavior, the process comprising:
- identifying a vehicle operator that has logged onto an industrial vehicle;
identifying a metric that characterizes an event associated with the operator of the industrial vehicle, the metric having a pre-action trigger that defines when the event is predicted to occur, a performance parameter to evaluate against the event and a behavior modification action that corresponds to a desired operator behavior in response to the event;
monitoring operation of the industrial vehicle for the event comprising;
predicting that the event will occur before the event actually occurs by detecting conditions that satisfy the pre-action trigger; and
performing the behavior modification action associated with the identified metric upon predicting that the event will occur; and
in response to detecting an occurrence of the event, performing;
recording event data that characterizes a response of the vehicle operator to the event;
evaluating the recorded event data against the performance parameter associated with the corresponding metric to determine whether the vehicle operator demonstrated the desired operator behavior in response to the event;
computing a vehicle operator score based upon the evaluation; and
linking the computed vehicle operator score with the vehicle operator that had logged onto the industrial vehicle.

Abstract
Dynamic industrial vehicle monitoring for modification of vehicle operator behavior comprises identifying a metric that characterizes an event associated with the operator of an industrial vehicle, the metric having a pre-action trigger that defines when the event is predicted to occur, a performance parameter to evaluate against the event and a behavior modification action that corresponds to a desired operator behavior in response to the event. Monitoring operation of the industrial vehicle is carried out for the event. Upon detecting an occurrence of the event, event data is recorded that characterizes a response of a vehicle operator to the event. The recorded event data is evaluated against at least one performance parameter associated with the corresponding metric to determine whether the vehicle operator demonstrated appropriate behavior for the event. A vehicle operator score is updated based upon the evaluation and the updated vehicle operator score is communicated.

11. A computer-implemented process for providing dynamic industrial vehicle monitoring for modification of vehicle operator behavior, the process comprising:
-
identifying a vehicle operator that has logged onto an industrial vehicle; identifying a metric that characterizes an event associated with the operator of the industrial vehicle, the metric having a pre-action trigger that defines when the event is predicted to occur, a performance parameter to evaluate against the event and a behavior modification action, wherein the event is based, at least in part, upon a condition related to the industrial vehicle itself, a condition external to the vehicle, an action of the vehicle operator, or a combination thereof; determining whether the operator has been inculcated to respond to the event; monitoring operation of the industrial vehicle for the event comprising; predicting that the event will occur before the event actually occurs by detecting conditions that satisfy the pre-action trigger; and performing the behavior modification action associated with the identified metric upon predicting that the event will occur, where the determination indicates that the operator has not been inculcated to respond to the event; and in response to detecting an occurrence of the event, performing; recording event data that characterizes a response of the vehicle operator to the event; evaluating the recorded event data against the performance parameter associated with the corresponding metric to determine whether the vehicle operator demonstrated appropriate behavior for the event; computing a vehicle operator score based upon the evaluation; and linking the computed vehicle operator score with the vehicle operator that had logged onto the industrial vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
