Abstract

A system for transferring data comprises an input interface and a processor. The input interface is configured to receive event information from a vehicle event recorder including an event type for each event associated with the event information. The processor is configured to determine a historical coachable profile for event types associated with the event information and select a group of events to transfer based at least in part on the historical coachable profile for the event types.

a download volume and percentage of coachable events for a vehicle, a vehicle group, a vehicle company, a vehicle profile type, and a fleet overall; and

select a group of events to transfer based at least in part on the historical coachable profile for the event types.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the historical coachable profile stores information gathered over different time periods.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein a specific event of a given event type in the group of events is selected based at least in part on event information.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to request transfer of a group of events or all events.
