Abstract:
A method of providing visual feedback to a driver based on data collected during vehicle operation. A processor at the vehicle analyzes vehicle data, and determines when predetermined threshold values have been reached for particular parameters. Whenever such a threshold is reached, an audible indication is provided to the driver, indicating that the baseline has been exceeded. Certain parameters have at least two threshold values. When a first threshold value is reached, an alert is presented to the driver, but no data is recorded or reported. When a second threshold value is reached, another alert is presented to the driver, and data is recorded for reporting to a driver manager or supervisor. This approach provides a driver warning, that if they correct the triggering behavior, their supervisor is never notified of that behavior. However, if the behavior escalates, and the second threshold is breached, the behavior is recorded.

Claim (Index 1):
A system to train a driver during operation of a vehicle, the system comprising:\n (a) an interface to at least one vehicle data generating component that generates time-indexed vehicle data when the vehicle is operating; (b) a display to locally present on a first portion of the display a map relevant to a present geographic location of the vehicle and to further present concurrently on a second portion of the display driver feedback information during vehicle operation; and (c) at least one processor logically coupled to the display, the at least one processor configured to evaluate driver performance by:\n (i) automatically analyzing the time-indexed vehicle data to determine if any of the time-indexed vehicle data has crossed a first predefined threshold, and if so automatically directing presentation on the second portion of the display driver feedback information indicating the first predefined threshold has been crossed and refraining from reporting that the first predefined threshold has been crossed to any remote entity; and \n (ii) automatically analyzing additional time-indexed vehicle data to determine if any of the additional time-indexed vehicle data crosses a second predefined threshold, and if so automatically directing presentation on the second portion of the display driver feedback information indicating the second predefined threshold has been crossed and using a wireless data link to automatically report to a remote computing device that the second predefined threshold has been crossed; and \n (d) a local input mechanism to accept a driver entered explanation for any second predefined threshold crossing that was reported to the remote computing device.
