Abstract:
1. A system comprising a central computing device having one or more memory storage areas and one or more processors, the central computing device configured to: define a geofenced area that corresponds to a geographic area, the geofenced area (a) comprising two or more street segments and (b) defined based at least in part on determining (i) an average number of stops, (ii) an average frequency of stops, or (iii) both based at least in part on past pickups and deliveries within the geofenced area; assign one or more speed parameters to the geofenced area, wherein (a) the one or more speed parameters are used to monitor the performance of a vehicle driver while the vehicle driver is operating a vehicle within the geofenced area, (b) the one or more speed parameters comprise at least one speed parameter selected from the group consisting of a government-assigned speed limit and a non-government assigned speed limit, (c) the government-assigned speed limit and the non-government assigned speed limit are determined based in part on one or more prior detections of (i) speed limits and (ii) one or more prior detections average speed traveled within the geofenced area indicated by a plurality of vehicle drivers operating one or more corresponding vehicles during previous traversals within the geo fenced area; receive geofenced area data, wherein (a) the geofenced area data is collected in real time (i) responsive to the vehicle entering the geofenced area and (ii) while the vehicle driver is operating the vehicle within the geofenced area and (b) the geofenced area data comprises speed data associated with the vehicle; and determine, based at least in part on the speed data, whether the one or more speed parameters assigned to the geofenced area have been exceeded.
