Abstract:
A system for monitoring and/or evaluating performance of an operator of a controllably movable object having operational parameters and at least one of the operational parameters is changeable when varying an aspect of operating behaviours of the operator, the system comprising:a housing member with a chamber therein; a sensing unit positioned on said housing member or in said chamber, the sensing unit having one or more sensors, each sensor being arranged to sense at least one of said operational parameters; a processing unit arranged to receive signals representative of the operational parameters from said one or more sensors, to process the received signals and to provide output signals corresponding to the performance relating to one or more aspects of the operating behaviours of said operator; a calibration unit for selectively calibrating the system for use with different types of controllably movable objects; and an indication unit arranged to receive the output signals and to thereby provide an indication of the operator performance, the calibrating unit including means for calibrating any one or a combination of two or more of the following: terrain; local traffic regulation; traffic condition; application; expected weather condition; and expected operator performance.
