Vehicle telemetry system and method for evaluating and training drivers
First Claim
1. A remote processing center adapted for communication with a telemetry interface device installed in a vehicle controlled by an operator, the telemetry interface device used for acquiring measurements of vehicle parameters, the remote processing center comprising:
- an input communication device for receiving the measurements of vehicle parameters;
an output device;
a processor operatively connected to the input communication device and to the output device; and
a memory operatively connected to the processor and having instructions stored thereon to cause the processor;
to obtain the measurements of vehicle parameters acquired at a continuous rate over a given period, the continuous rate being at least as great as the rate of change of each of the measurements of vehicle parameters over the given period;
to calculate criteria using, for each criterion, a selection of the measurements of vehicle parameters; and
to output the criteria on the output device, the criteria being representative of a performance of at least one of the operator and the vehicle over the given period;
wherein the continuous rate and the rate of change of each of the measurements are time period-based rates having a unit of time in the numerator or denominator.

Abstract
There is described a system and method for establishing a performance of at least one of a vehicle and an operator of the vehicle over a given period. In particular, the method comprises: recording measured vehicle parameters at a continuous rate over a given period, the continuous rate being at least as great as the rate of change of the measured vehicle parameters; calculating criteria using, for each criterion, a selection of the measured vehicle parameters; and outputting the criteria, the criteria being representative of a performance of at least one of the operator and the vehicle over the given period.
