Abstract

A system for creating a coaching session comprises one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more processors are in communication with the event detector and configured to: receive data of a driving event from an event detector associated with a vehicle; analyze the driving event data to identify risky driving behavior; and create a coaching session in order to reduce the identified risky driving behavior. The coaching session incorporates at least a portion of the data of the driving event. The one or more memories are coupled to the one or more processors and configured to provide the one or more processors instructions.

Claims (30)

1. A system for creating a coaching session, comprising:

one or more processors in communication with an event detector and configured to:

receive data of a driving event from the event detector associated with a vehicle;

analyze the driving event data to identify risky driving behavior;

create a coaching session in order to reduce the identified risky driving behavior,

wherein the coaching session incorporates at least a portion of the data of the driving event; and

one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors and configured to provide the one or more processors with instructions.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein one of the processors is located at an evaluation server.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the driving event data comprises one or more of the following: audio, video, and/or metadata from one or more sensors associated with the vehicle.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the metadata comprises one or more of the following: velocity and direction of the vehicle, GPS location, elevation, time, temperature, vehicle engine and electrical component information, status of vehicle lights and signals, brake operation and position, throttle position, number of occupants in the vehicle, seatbelts fastened or not status, airbags deployed or not status, or driver identifier.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the coaching session comprises one or more of the following: audio, video, and/or other data from the data of the driving event.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the other data comprises comments or text from an operator or a supervisor to provide feedback in order to reduce risky driving behavior.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the other data comprises captured metadata information.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to provide the coaching session for review.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to keep track of who has reviewed the coaching session.

10. The system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to receive notes or comments from an operator or supervisor who has evaluated the event data, wherein the notes or the comments include a selection made by the operator or supervisor of event data to include in the coaching session, and wherein the one or more processors analyze the driving event data further based at least in part on the notes or comments from the operator or supervisor.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors create the coaching session to include one or more of the following types of information related to the driving event: weather-conditions, traffic, smog and visibility, and the notes or comments from the operator or supervisor.

12. The system of claim 3 , wherein creating further comprises combining an analysis of a plurality of driving events into the coaching session.

13. The system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to create a report of the identified risky driving behavior.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the report is included as part of the coaching session.

15. A method for creating a coaching session, comprising:

receiving data of a driving event from an event detector associated with a vehicle;

analyzing the driving event data to identify risky driving behavior; and

creating a coaching session in order to reduce the identified risky driving behavior,

wherein the coaching session incorporates at least a portion of the data of the driving event.

16. A computer program product for creating a coaching session, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer instructions for:

receiving data of a driving event from an event detector associated with a vehicle;

analyzing the driving event data to identify risky driving behavior; and

creating a coaching session in order to reduce the identified risky driving behavior,

wherein the coaching session incorporates at least a portion of the data of the driving event.
