Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 16:
17. A system configured for managing speed thresholds for a fleet of vehicles, wherein the vehicles include a vehicle located at a current vehicle location, the system comprising:
one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
receive input, wherein the input represents a first association between a first visibility-related condition and a first arithmetic operation used to determine a given current speed threshold in case a posted speed limit falls within a first range of speed limits, wherein the given current speed threshold is determined by applying the first arithmetic operation to the posted speed limit in case the posted speed limit falls within the first range of speed limits, and wherein the input further represents a second association between the first visibility-related condition and a second arithmetic operation used to determine the given current speed threshold in case the posted speed limit falls within a second range of speed limits that is mutually exclusive with the first range of speed limits, wherein the given current speed threshold is determined by applying the second arithmetic operation to the posted speed limit in case the posted speed limit falls within the second range of speed limits; and

an event detector configured to detect vehicle events, wherein the event detector is carried by the vehicle, wherein the event detector includes one or more processors configured by particular machine-readable instructions to:
obtain information that represents the first association and the second association;
obtain a first set of visibility-related information, wherein the first set of visibility-related information indicates the first visibility-related condition is currently present at the current vehicle location;
obtain a first current posted speed limit at the current vehicle location;
determine a first current speed threshold based on the first current posted speed limit, wherein:
(i) responsive to the first current posted speed limit falling within the first range of speed limits and further responsive to the first visibility-related condition being currently present at the current vehicle location, the first current speed threshold is determined by applying the first arithmetic operation to the first current posted speed limit, and wherein
(ii) responsive to the first current posted speed limit falling within the second range of speed limits and further responsive to the first visibility-related condition being currently present at the current vehicle location, the first current speed threshold is determined by applying the second arithmetic operation to the first current posted speed limit;

obtain a first current speed of the vehicle;
detect a first occurrence of a first vehicle event, responsive to the first current speed of the vehicle exceeding the first current speed threshold.
