Driving analysis using vehicle-to-vehicle communication
First Claim
1. A driving analysis computing device comprising:
- a plurality of vehicle operation sensors within a first vehicle;
a processing unit comprising a processor; and
a memory unit storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the driving analysis computing device to;
receive first vehicle driving data collected by the plurality of vehicle operation sensors within the first vehicle;
receive second vehicle driving data transmitted from a second vehicle to the first vehicle using vehicle-to-vehicle communications;
determining a vehicle driving behavior of the first vehicle by performing an analysis at least a first portion of the first vehicle driving data and the second vehicle driving data;
determine a vehicle driving behavior of the second vehicle, based on an analysis of at least a second portion of the first vehicle driving data and the second vehicle driving data;
determining whether the vehicle driving behavior of the second vehicle was performed within a threshold amount of time of the vehicle driving behavior of the first vehicle; and
credit the second vehicle or a driver of the second vehicle with a positive driving behavior in response to determining that the vehicle driving behavior of the second vehicle was performed within a threshold amount of time of the vehicle driving behavior of the first vehicle.

Abstract
One or more driving analysis computing devices in a driving analysis system may be configured to analyze driving data, determine driving behaviors, and calculate driver scores based on driving data transmitted using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. Driving data from multiple vehicles may be collected by vehicle sensors or other vehicle-based systems, transmitted using V2V communications, and then analyzed and compared to determine various driving behaviors by the drivers of the vehicles. Driver scores may be calculated or adjusted based on the determined driving behaviors of vehicle drivers, and also may be calculated or adjusted based on other the driver scores of nearby vehicles.

9. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a driving analysis computing device, first vehicle driving data corresponding to vehicle operation data of a first vehicle; receiving, by the driving analysis computing device, second vehicle driving data corresponding to vehicle operation data of a second vehicle, wherein prior to the receiving, the second vehicle driving data is transmitted by the second vehicle using vehicle-to-vehicle communication; determining, by the driving analysis computing device, a vehicle driving behavior associated with the first vehicle based on an analysis of at least a first portion of the first vehicle driving data and the second vehicle driving data; determining, by the driving analysis computing device, a vehicle driving behavior associated with the second vehicle, based on an analysis of at least a second portion of the first vehicle driving data and the second vehicle driving data; determining whether the vehicle driving behavior of the second vehicle was performed within a threshold amount of time of the vehicle driving behavior of the first vehicle; and credit the second vehicle or a driver of the second vehicle with a positive driving behavior in response to determining that the vehicle driving behavior of the second vehicle was performed within a threshold amount of time of the vehicle driving behavior of the first vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A driving analysis computing device comprising:
-
a processing unit comprising a processor; and a memory unit storing computer-executable instructions, which when executed by the processing unit, cause the driving analysis computing device to; receive vehicle data transmitted by a second vehicle to a first vehicle using vehicle-to-vehicle communications; determine a driver score associated with the second vehicle, based on the vehicle data transmitted by the second vehicle; determine a driver score associated with the first vehicle, based on the determined driver score associated with the second vehicle irrespective of a current driving behavior of the first vehicle; and output the determined driving score associated with the first vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
