1. A method for analyzing a driving behavior of a vehicle driver, comprising:
- during a movement of the vehicle, determining with an analyzing vehicle system in the vehicle a plurality of position coordinates of the vehicle and a speed of the vehicle as a driver operation parameter;
separating the speed data from the location data in different files containing either the location data or the respective speed data;
effecting a separation in the separating step in a way that a direct correlation between speed data and corresponding location data is destroyed due to the separation;
integrating a plurality of speed data to a speed average over a travel segment;
transmitting the driver operation parameter from the vehicle to a stationary processing unit;
at the stationary processing unit, processing the position coordinates via a data base that assigns a speed reference to each coordinate point on a road; and
comparing the determined average speed of the vehicle over a travel segment with the speed reference as a speed metric being the driving behavior within the stationary processing unit.

Abstract
A method analyzes characteristics of a vehicle driver, especially for insurance purposes. The method is performed by a cooperation of an analyzing vehicle system in a vehicle and a stationary processing unit remote from the vehicle. The analyzing vehicle system determines a driver operation characteristics parameter from the driving vehicle and sends the parameter to the stationary processing unit. The stationary processing unit derives a metric from that parameter as driver operation characteristics.
