1. A method comprising:
- receiving, from a processor device, input information associated with the processor device;
determining, based at least in part on the received input information, at least one vehicle behavior exhibited by the vehicle, the vehicle behavior comprising a driving pattern initiated by an operator of the vehicle in which the processor device is installed;
identifying a condition affecting the vehicle;
determining that a value associated with the at least one vehicle behavior exhibited by the vehicle deviates from at least one parameter associated with the condition affecting the vehicle;
determining a set of actions to be used to deter the at least one driving pattern exhibited by the vehicle, the set of actions comprising a chronologically ordered series of actions appropriate with respect to the identified condition; and
providing at least the first action in the series of actions to the processor device to be executed; and
upon determining that the first action was ineffective, cause at least a second action from the set of actions to be executed, the second action initiating an activation of a vehicle component to cause the vehicle behavior to cease, wherein the second action comprises increasing a brake sensitivity or decreasing a throttle sensitivity.

Abstract
Described herein is a vehicle system configured to identify and mitigate inappropriate driving behavior. In some embodiments, the vehicle system may receive input information from one or more input sensors. The vehicle system may identify driving behaviors related to a vehicle from the received input. The vehicle system may determine whether the driving behaviors are inappropriate in light of one or more conditions affecting the vehicle. Upon identifying inappropriate behavior, the vehicle system may generate a set of corrective actions capable of being executed to mitigate the inappropriate driving behavior.

8. A vehicle system, comprising:
-
a processor device; and a memory including instructions that, when executed with the processor device, cause the system to, at least; receive input information associated with the processor device; determine, based at least in part on the received input information, at least one driving pattern exhibited by a vehicle in which the vehicle system is installed; identify a condition affecting the vehicle; determine that a value associated with the at least one driving pattern exhibited by the vehicle deviates from at least one parameter associated with the condition affecting the vehicle; determine a series of actions to be used to deter the at least one driving pattern exhibited by the vehicle; provide an indication of a first action of the series of actions to a driver of the vehicle; and upon determining that the first action was ineffective, cause at least a second action from the series of actions to be executed, the second action initiating an activation of a vehicle component to cause the driving pattern to cease, wherein the second action comprises increasing a brake sensitivity or decreasing a throttle sensitivity. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A vehicle apparatus, comprising:
-
one or more input sensors; and a processor device configured to; receive input information from the one or more input sensors; determine, based at least in part on the received input information, at least one driving pattern exhibited by a vehicle in which the vehicle apparatus is installed; identify a condition affecting the vehicle; determine that a value associated with the at least one driving pattern exhibited by the vehicle deviates from at least one parameter associated with the condition affecting the vehicle; determine at least one action to be used to deter the at least one driving pattern exhibited by the vehicle; provide an indication of the at least one action to a driver of the vehicle; and upon determining that the at least one action was ineffective, cause at least a second action to be executed, the second action initiating an activation of a vehicle component to cause the vehicle behavior to cease, wherein the second action comprises increasing a brake sensitivity and decreasing a throttle sensitivity. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
