  • Patent number: 10611380
    Abstract: Method for automatically assessing performance of a driver (110) of a vehicle (100) for a particular trip, wherein current driving data sets, comprising basic driving data are repeatedly read from the vehicle, which method comprises the steps a) collecting previous-trip driving data sets, comprising instantaneous vehicle energy consumption, for different previous trips, different drivers and different vehicles; b) for each of said current-trip driving data sets, selecting at least one corresponding previous-trip driving data set; c) calculating a relative instantaneous vehicle energy consumption value for said selected corresponding previous-trip driving data set or sets, which is relative to a total energy consumption for a respective trip during which the previous-trip driving data set in question was observed; d) calculating a value of the said first trip performance parameter based upon an average value of said calculated relative instantaneous energy consumptions. The invention also relates to a system.

  • Patent number: 10501089
    Abstract: Method for automatically assessing performance of a driver (110) of a vehicle (100) for a particular trip, wherein current driving data sets, comprising basic driving data are repeatedly read from the vehicle, which method comprises the steps a) collecting previous-trip driving data sets, comprising instantaneous vehicle energy consumption, for different previous trips, different drivers and different vehicles; b) grouping said previous-trip driving data sets into basic historic groups and calculating a respective group performance parameter; c) further grouping said previous-trip driving data sets into extended historic groups; d) mapping each current-trip data set to said extended historic groups; and e) calculating a current-trip performance parameter based upon the group performance parameter values of the respective basic historic groups corresponding to previous-trip driving data sets comprised in the extended historic group to which a current-trip data set was matched in step d.

  • Patent number: 10421461
    Abstract: Method for automatically assessing performance of a driver (110) of a vehicle (100) for a particular trip, wherein current driving data sets, comprising basic driving data are repeatedly read from the vehicle, which method comprises the steps a) collecting previous-trip driving data sets, comprising instantaneous vehicle energy consumption, for different previous trips, different drivers and different vehicles; b) classifying said previous-trip driving data sets into collections corresponding to vehicle classes; c) classifying the current vehicle (100) into a current class; and d) calculating a performance parameter for the current trip based upon respective performance parameters for previous-trip driving data sets in said current collection; wherein the basic parameter set comprises vehicle velocity and engine rotation speed and/or motor load and energy consumption, and wherein the class-defining parameters comprise characteristic engine rotation speed per vehicle velocity and/or characteristic energy consu

  • Patent number: 10384688
    Abstract: Method for automatically assessing performance of a driver (110) of a vehicle (100) for a particular trip, wherein current driving data sets, comprising basic driving data are repeatedly read from the vehicle, which method comprises the steps a) collecting previous-trip driving data sets, comprising instantaneous vehicle energy consumption and instantaneous vehicle velocity, for different previous trips, different drivers and different vehicles; b) for a plurality of said previous-trip datasets, calculating a respective relative instantaneous vehicle energy consumption value; c) calculating a characteristic vehicle relative energy consumption function; and d) calculating a value of a trip performance parameter based upon a weighted average value of the respective relative instantaneous energy consumptions for previous-trip data sets that correspond to each of said current-trip data sets, which weighting is performed using said characteristic vehicle relative energy consumption function.
