1. A computer implemented method comprising:

  • receiving driving data from a plurality of vehicles being driving along a path, each of the vehicles of the plurality being driven by a driver, the driving data including vehicle location information;

    categorizing the data into a plurality of maneuvers;

    identifying a plurality of variables that describe the maneuvers and the received driving data;

    building a road model for the path based on the identified variables and maneuvers, the road model including a set of reference trajectories for a subsequent vehicle being driven at an identical or similar location along the path;

    receiving driving data from a vehicle separate from the plurality of vehicles as it is being driven on the path by its respective driver;

    determining one or more characteristics of the driver of the plurality of drivers using the driving data received from the vehicle;

    comparing the characteristics of the driver to the road model to determine driver behavior;

    determining whether driver behavior is consistent with the road model; and

    executing an action in the vehicle responsively to the determination of whether the driver behavior is consistent with the road model, the action being at least one of providing a message to the driver and automatically adjusting an operation of the vehicle as it is driven.
