1. A method for assessment of driver behavior during driving of a vehicle, the method being performed by an electronic control unit and comprising the steps of:

  • continuously characterising a driver'"'"'s chosen braking processes as a basis for said assessment based on first data from at least one first sensor recording the chosen braking processes;

    determining a cause of a chosen braking process based on at least one of second data from at least one second sensor, the second data being sensed during the chosen braking process, and on third data recorded prior to the chosen braking process; and

    assessing whether the chosen braking process is an appropriate response to the cause determined,the chosen braking process being characterised based on whether, and to what extent, auxiliary brakes, service brakes and engine brakes of the vehicle were used during the chosen braking process, the assessment of whether the chosen braking process is the appropriate response being based on the effect of the chosen braking process on fuel consumption and traffic safety.
