Abstract:
1. A system for reducing risk in driving, comprising: at least one event capture device associated with a vehicle, said event capture device or devices detecting data related to the physical condition of said vehicle; at least one event detector device coupled with the vehicle and configured to communicate with said event capture device or devices and to determine, responsive to event scoring criteria, whether or not data captured by said event capture devices represents a driving event; an event scoring module attached to or otherwise physically associated with said event detector device for generating an event score for the detected driving event based at least in part upon data from said event capture device or devices; and an event data management module attached to or otherwise associated with said event detector device for selectively uploading data associated with the detected driving event from said event capture devices to a remote computer device, wherein data associated with the detected driving event is selected for uploading based at least in part on a determination that the event score generated for the driving event meets a predetermined criteria.
