Driving analysis using vehicle-to-vehicle communication
First Claim
1. A driving analysis computing device comprising:
- a processing unit comprising a processor; and
a memory unit storing computer-executable instructions, which when executed by the processing unit, cause the driving analysis computing device to;
receive first vehicle driving data collected by vehicle operation sensors within a first vehicle;
receive second vehicle driving data transmitted from a second vehicle to the first vehicle using vehicle-to-vehicle communications;
perform an analysis of the first vehicle driving data and the second vehicle driving data;
determine a driving behavior associated with the first vehicle or the second vehicle, based on the analysis of the first vehicle driving data and the second vehicle driving data, wherein determining the driving behavior includes;
determining a first relative position of the second vehicle with respect to the first vehicle at a first time,determining a second relative position of the second vehicle with respect to the first vehicle at a second time after the first time, anddetermining that the first vehicle and the second vehicle were racing, based on the first and second relative positions and the first and second times; and
output the determined driving behavior associated with the first vehicle or the second vehicle.

Abstract
One or more driving analysis computing devices in a driving analysis system may be configured to analyze driving data, determine driving behaviors, and calculate driver scores based on driving data transmitted using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. Driving data from multiple vehicles may be collected by vehicle sensors or other vehicle-based systems, transmitted using V2V communications, and then analyzed and compared to determine various driving behaviors by the drivers of the vehicles. Driver scores may be calculated or adjusted based on the determined driving behaviors of vehicle drivers, and also may be calculated or adjusted based on other the driver scores of nearby vehicles.

7. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a driving analysis computing device, first vehicle driving data corresponding to vehicle operation data of a first vehicle; receiving, by the driving analysis computing device, second vehicle driving data corresponding to vehicle operation data of a second vehicle, wherein prior to the receiving, the second vehicle driving data is transmitted by the second vehicle using vehicle-to-vehicle communication; performing, by the driving analysis computing device, an analysis of the first vehicle driving data and the second vehicle driving data; determining, by the driving analysis computing device, a driving behavior associated with the first vehicle or the second vehicle, based on the analysis of the first vehicle driving data and the second vehicle driving data, wherein determining the driving behavior includes; determining a first relative position of the second vehicle with respect to the first vehicle at a first time, determining a second relative position of the second vehicle with respect to the first vehicle at a second time after the first time, and determining that the first vehicle and the second vehicle were racing, based on the first and second relative positions and the first and second times; and outputting, by the driving analysis computing device, the determined driving behavior associated with the first vehicle or the second vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
