Patent ID: 8854199

Claim:
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 during a driving trip; at least one event detector device coupled with the vehicle and configured to communicate with said event capture device or devices and to predict, responsive to analysis of the group of data captured by said event capture devices, whether or not data captured by said event capture devices represents a driving event, and assigning a unique risk identifier selected from a group of risk identities to said driving event; an event scoring module attached to or otherwise associated to communicate with said event detector for generating an event score based upon the assigned said risk identifier data from said event capture device or devices and applying risk confidence data related to the specific risk; an event data management module communicating with said event detector for uploading data from said event capture devices to a remote computing device, with said uploading being responsive to said event score; a driver scoring module in communication with said remote computing device or said event data module, said driver scoring module configured to correlate said scored event and said uploaded data to an individual driver and generating a normalized driver score, said generated driver score is based at least in part on one or more driver challenge factors representing driving difficulty during one or more driving trips in one or more said vehicles, wherein the one or more driver challenge factors include a type of the vehicle and one or more tasks associated with the vehicle and/or the driver for said driving trip.
