Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method of profiling a driver comprising: identifying, by a processor, events in data representing motion of a vehicle, the events including acceleration events or braking events characterised by a speed at which the vehicle was travelling when the respective event occurred; selecting, by the processor, one or more of the events based on a profile index associated with a respective event and on at least one attribute derived from the respective event, the profile index relating to a link on which the vehicle was travelling at a point during the respective event, wherein the profile index relating to the link is derived at least from one or more link indexes relating to one or more features of the link that influence a behaviour of a driver of a vehicle travelling along the link; determining, by the processor, a driver profile from the one or more selected events; characterizing, by the processor, a driving behaviour of the driver on a basis of the driver profile, the characterizing of the driving behaviour of the driver comprising determining a driver score that provides an overall measure of the driving behaviour of the driver based on one or more personality traits of the driver that affect the driving behaviour of the driver; and providing an output interface comprising a display of the driver score presented in conjunction with one or more numeric scores that provide a measure of the one or more personality traits of the driver that affect the driving behaviour of the driver.
