1. A method for sharing information from a vehicle for comparison to information from other vehicles, said method comprising:
- collecting vehicle trace data wherein the vehicle trace data includes information collected from the vehicle, a device of an occupant of the vehicle, or a combination thereof;
filtering and compressing the collected vehicle trace data such that predetermined parameters are analyzed and weighted in a predetermined manner;
creating a score from the data that has been filtered, compressed and analyzed, where creating a score includes storing time-series data for each of one or more parameters, calculating an average, a standard deviation, a consistency metric and a trend metric from the time-series data, and determining the score as a weighted summation of the average, the standard deviation, the consistency metric and the trend metric, where weight factors for the summation are predetermined separately for the average, the standard deviation, the consistency metric and the trend metric for each of the one or more parameters;
creating an anonymous identifier to preserve the anonymity of vehicle information and a vehicle occupant; and
sharing the score using a communications network such that the vehicle occupant and the vehicle information is compared and ranked relative to the vehicle trace data of the other vehicles.

10. A method for sharing information from a vehicle for comparison to information from other vehicles, said method comprising:
-
collecting vehicle trace data, wherein the vehicle trace data includes information collected from the vehicle, a device of an occupant of the vehicle, or a combination thereof, said collected vehicle trace data being data that an occupant of the vehicle has authorized to share; creating a score from the vehicle trace data, where creating a score includes storing time-series data for each of one or more parameters, calculating an average, a standard deviation, a consistency metric and a trend metric from the time-series data, and determining the score as a weighted summation of the average, the standard deviation, the consistency metric and the trend metric, where weight factors for the summation are predetermined separately for the average, the standard deviation, the consistency metric and the trend metric for each of the one or more parameters; and sharing the vehicle trace data and the score using a communications network such that the vehicle trace data and the score are compared and ranked relative to the vehicle trace data and score of other vehicles. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A vehicle participative system for sharing information from a vehicle for comparison to information from other vehicles, said system comprising:
-
a vehicle information collection and processing system that includes; means for collecting vehicle trace data, wherein the vehicle trace data includes information collected from the vehicle, a device of an occupant of the vehicle, or a combination thereof, said collected vehicle trace data being data that an occupant of the vehicle has authorized to share; means for creating a score from the vehicle trace data, where creating a score includes storing time-series data for each of one or more parameters, calculating an average, a standard deviation, a consistency metric and a trend metric from the time-series data, and determining the score as a weighted summation of the average, the standard deviation, the consistency metric and the trend metric, where weight factors for, the summation are predetermined separately for the average, the standard deviation, the consistency metric and the trend metric for each of the one or more parameters; means for sharing the vehicle trace data and the score using a communications network such that the vehicle trace data is compared and ranked relative to the vehicle trace data and score of other vehicles; and means for creating a matchup based on the vehicle trace data of at least two vehicles during a vehicle encounter on a roadway and providing competition results based on the matchup. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
