First Claim
1. An on-vehicle system for assessing operational efficiency of an operator of a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors configured to measure or detect, for each time frame in a series of time frames, conditions of components of the vehicle, and convert the detected conditions into analog or digital information,an audiovisual display device;
a processor; and
a data storage storing program instructions, the analog or digital information from the sensors, and other data;
wherein the program instructions, when executed by the processor, control the on-vehicle system to determine, for each time frame of the series of time frames, a desired behavior of the operator from a predetermined set of behavior categories based on a current operational efficiency of the vehicle determined from the analog or digital information from the sensors, the desired behavior configured to vary from a first time frame to a second time frame based on the current operational efficiency of the vehicle;
determine, for each time frame in the series of time frames, the current behavior of the operator from the predetermined set of behaviors based on the current operational efficiency of a vehicle in that time frame;
assess performance of the operator for each time frame in the series of time frames, based on a difference between the determined desired behavior of the operator for each time frame and the determined current behavior of the operator for each time frame; and
present the operator, via the audiovisual display device, a feedback based on the assessed performance, and to compare the assessed performance to historical performance information of the operator, modify an operator feedback threshold based on the result of the comparison, and present the operator the feedback at least partly based on the adjusted feedback threshold, wherein the operator feedback threshold is incrementally changed based on a desired performance threshold.

Abstract
An on-vehicle system for assessing an operator'"'"'s efficiency of a vehicle, include sensors, an audiovisual display device, a processor and a data storage. The sensors measure or detect conditions of components of the vehicle, and convert the detected conditions into analog or digital information. The data storage stores program instructions, the analog or digital information from the sensors, and other data. The program instructions, when executed by the processor, control the on-vehicle system to determine a state of the vehicle within a vehicle'"'"'s environment based on the analog or digital information from the sensors, determine whether one or more of a predetermined set of behaviors has occurred based on the determined state of a vehicle, assess performance of the determined one or more of the predetermined set of behaviors, and present the operator, via the audiovisual display device, a feedback based on the assessment.
