Systems and methods for assessing vehicle and vehicle operator efficiency
First Claim
1. A fleet management computer system for assessing vehicle efficiency, said fleet management computer system comprising:
- one or more memory storage areas; and
one or more processors in communication with said one or more memory storage areas;
wherein said processors are, collectively, configured to;
receive vehicle telematics data indicative of one or more vehicle dynamics for at least one vehicle during one or more time periods;
identify segments of engine idle time based on said vehicle telematics data, each of said engine idle segments representing a period of time during which said at least one vehicle'"'"'s engine was idling;
determine, based on said vehicle telematics data, the location of said at least one vehicle when each identified engine idle segment occurred; and
generate a graphical user interface comprising;
at least one evaluation results display indicating one or more of said identified engine idle segments; and
at least one geographical map;
wherein said graphical user interface is configured to enable a user to select at least one of said identified engine idle segments indicated in said evaluation results display and, in response to said user selection of said at least one of said identified engine idle segments, indicate the location of the at least one user-selected engine idle segment on the geographical map.

Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a fleet management computer system for assessing vehicle efficiency. According to various embodiments, the fleet management computer system is configured for receiving and assessing vehicle telematics data in order to determine an idle percentage of engine run time value representing the percentage of the vehicle'"'"'s engine run time during which the vehicle'"'"'s engine was idling during the one or more time periods. In addition, the fleet management computer system may be configured for assessing vehicle telematics data in order to identify segment of engine idle time and generate a graphical display indicating various attributes of the identified idle time segments. The idle time percentage and idle time segments generated by the system can be used to assess the efficiency of vehicles and/or vehicle operators in an associated fleet.
