Dynamic operator behavior analyzer
First Claim
1. A method of providing dynamic industrial vehicle monitoring for modification of vehicle operator behavior, the method comprising:
- identifying a metric that characterizes an event associated with the operation of an industrial vehicle, the metric having a performance parameter to evaluate against the event and a behavior modification action;
monitoring operation of the industrial vehicle for the event, comprising;
predicting that the event will occur before the event actually occurs; and
performing, based upon predicting that the event will occur;
determining whether the operator has been inculcated to respond to the event; and
performing the behavior modification action before the event actually occurs based upon the determination that the operator has not been inculcated to respond to the event;
detecting an occurrence of the event, and performing;
recording event data that characterizes a response of a vehicle operator to the event;
evaluating the recorded event data against the performance parameter associated with the metric that characterizes the event to determine whether the vehicle operator demonstrated appropriate behavior for the event;
updating a vehicle operator score based upon the evaluation; and
communicating the updated vehicle operator score.

Abstract
Dynamic industrial vehicle monitoring for modification of vehicle operator behavior comprises identifying a metric that characterizes an event associated with the operation of an industrial vehicle, the metric having at least one behavior modification action and at least one performance parameter to evaluate the event against. Monitoring operation of the industrial vehicle is carried out for the event. Upon detecting an occurrence of the event, event data is recorded that characterizes a response of a vehicle operator to the event. The recorded event data is evaluated against at least one performance parameter associated with the corresponding metric to determine whether the vehicle operator demonstrated appropriate behavior for the event. A vehicle operator score is updated based upon the evaluation and the updated vehicle operator score is communicated.
