Driver risk assessment system and method employing selectively automatic event scoring
First Claim
1. A system for determining a driving event, comprising:
- an event capture device associated with a vehicle for detecting data related to the vehicle, wherein the data related to the vehicle comprises regularly uploaded data and selectively uploaded data;
an event detector coupled to the vehicle for;
generating an event score based on the data related to the vehicle; and
determining whether the event score meets a pre-determined criteria; and
an event data management module for;
in the event that the event score meets the pre-determined criteria, determining that the driving event has occurred; and
uploading the selectively uploaded data to a remote computer device based on the determination that the driving event has occurred.

Abstract
A Driver Risk Assessment System and Method Employing Selectively Automatic Event Scoring. The system and method provides robust and reliable event scoring and reporting, while also optimizing data transmission bandwidth. The system includes onboard vehicular driving event detectors that record data related to detected driving events, selectively store or transfer data related to said detected driving events. If elected, the onboard vehicular system will score a detected driving event, compare the local score to historical values previously stored within the onboard system, and upload selective data or data types to a remote server or user if the system concludes that a serious driving event has occurred. The system may further respond to independent user requests by transferring select data to said user at a variety of locations and formats.
