1. A computer-implemented method of profiling a driver comprising:
- identifying, by a processor, events in data representing motion of a vehicle, the events including acceleration events or braking events characterised by a speed at which the vehicle was travelling when the respective event occurred;
selecting, by the processor, one or more of the events based on a profile index associated with a respective event and on at least one attribute derived from the respective event, the profile index relating to a link on which the vehicle was travelling at a point during the respective event, wherein the profile index relating to the link is derived at least from one or more link indexes relating to one or more features of the link that influence a behaviour of a driver of a vehicle travelling along the link;
determining, by the processor, a driver profile from the one or more selected events;
characterizing, by the processor, a driving behaviour of the driver on a basis of the driver profile, the characterizing of the driving behaviour of the driver comprising determining a driver score that provides an overall measure of the driving behaviour of the driver based on one or more personality traits of the driver that affect the driving behaviour of the driver; and
providing an output interface comprising a display of the driver score presented in conjunction with one or more numeric scores that provide a measure of the one or more personality traits of the driver that affect the driving behaviour of the driver.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of profiling a driver comprises: identifying events in data representing motion of a vehicle; for the events, associating an event with a profile index relating at least to a link on which the vehicle was travelling when the respective event occurred; sorting the events into groups, each group corresponding to a different profile index; determining a driver profile from the events; and characterizing the driving behavior of the driver on the basis of the driver profile.

20. A device for profiling a driver, the device comprising:
a processor to perform operations including; identifying, by the processor, events in data representing motion of a vehicle, the events including acceleration events or braking events characterised by a speed at which the vehicle was travelling when the respective event occurred; selecting, by the processor, one or more of the events based on a profile index associated with a respective event and on at least one attribute derived from the respective event, the profile index relating to a link on which the vehicle was travelling at a point during the respective event, wherein the profile index relating to the link is derived at least from one or more link indexes relating to one or more features of the link that influence a behaviour of a driver of a vehicle travelling along the link; determining, by the processor, a driver profile from the one or more selected events; characterizing, by the processor, a driving behaviour of the driver on a basis of the driver profile, the characterizing of the driving behaviour of the driver comprising determining a driver score that provides an overall measure of the driving behaviour of the driver based on one or more personality traits of the driver that affect the driving behaviour of the driver; and providing an output interface comprising a display of the driver score presented in conjunction with one or more numeric scores that provide a measure of the one or more personality traits of the driver that affect the driving behaviour of the driver. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)

23. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
identifying events in data representing motion of a vehicle, the events including acceleration events or braking events characterised by a speed at which the vehicle was travelling when the respective event occurred; selecting one or more of the events based on a profile index associated with a respective event and on at least one attribute derived from the respective event, the profile index relating to a link on which the vehicle was travelling at a point during the respective event, wherein the profile index relating to the link is derived at least from one or more link indexes relating to one or more features of the link that influence a behaviour of a driver of a vehicle travelling along the link; determining a driver profile from the one or more selected events; characterising a driving behaviour of the driver on a basis of the driver profile, the characterizing of the driving behaviour of the driver comprising determining a driver score that provides an overall measure of the driving behaviour of the driver based on one or more personality traits of the driver that affect the driving behaviour of the driver; and providing an output interface comprising a display of the driver score presented in conjunction with one or more numeric scores that provide a measure of the one or more personality traits of the driver that affect the driving behaviour of the driver.
