Driver scorecard system and method
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- an interface configured to receive vehicle data acquired by a computer system of a vehicle;
a wireless transceiver configured to effect communications with a central office via one or more networks;
a display;
memory configured to store scoring algorithms; and
a processor configured to;
receive at least some of the vehicle data;
generate, in substantially real-time and independently from the central office, a plurality of scores for a plurality of scoring parameters using the stored scoring algorithms and the received vehicle data;
update, in substantially real-time and independently from the central office, the plurality of scores during a driver'"'"'s terminal day which is initiated at the driver'"'"'s terminal start time and completed at the driver'"'"'s terminal end time; and
cooperate with the display to present the plurality of scores on the display during the driver'"'"'s terminal day.

Abstract
Systems and methods are directed to monitoring and assessing driver behavior. A system comprises an interface configured to receive vehicle data acquired by a computer system of a vehicle, a wireless transceiver configured to effect communications with a central office via one or more networks, a display, memory configured to store scoring algorithms, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive at least some of the vehicle data, and generate, in substantially real-time and independently from the central office, a plurality of scores for a plurality of scoring parameters using the stored scoring algorithms and the received vehicle data. The processor is also configured to update, in substantially real-time and independently from the central office, the plurality of scores during a predetermined period of time, and cooperate with the display to present the plurality of scores on the display during the predetermined period of time.
