1. A computer-implemented method of profiling a driver comprising:

  • obtaining, by a position sensor mounted on a vehicle, data representing motion of the vehicle;

    generating a network of links from a road map;

    generating, for a link of the network of links, one or more link indexes, at least one link index being associated with a feature of the link that influences a behaviour of the driver of the vehicle travelling along the link;

    identifying, by a processor, events in the data representing motion of the vehicle, the events including acceleration events and braking events characterised by a speed at which the vehicle was travelling when respective event occurred;

    selecting, by the processor, one or more of the events based on a profile index associated with the respective event and on at least one attribute derived from the respective event, the profile index relating to the 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 the one or more of the link indexes relating to one or more features of the link that influence a behaviour of the driver of the vehicle travelling along the link;

    determining, by the processor, a driver profile from the one or more selected events;

    characterising, by the processor, the driving behaviour of the driver on a basis of the driver profile; and

    providing an output interface comprising a display of an overall driver score presented in conjunction with one or more sub-scores that provide a measure of the characterised driving behaviour of the driver.
