  • Patent number: 10235655
    Abstract: A system and method for computer assisted event based reconstruction and forensic analysis of vehicle accidents is provided. The system comprises an event capture device that records audio, video, and other information that collectively comprise one or more events related to a vehicle accident. The event data, including the audio, video, and other related information, is provided to an evaluation server where it is stored in a database for forensic analysis of the events comprising the vehicle accident. Event data for a specific automobile accident event is analyzed and compared to similar types of automobile accident event data in order to forensically analyze the specific event and correlate causal relationships with key elements of the event data to determine the likely cause of the accident or the factors contributing to the accident. Correlation information is also stored at the evaluation server to provide historical data points about causal relationships and key elements.

  • Patent number: 8564446
    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.

  • Patent number: 8314708
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the capture, analysis, and reporting of risky driver behavior are provided in combination with coaching of individual drivers to improve driver performance. The system comprises an event capture device that records both audio and video of an event. The event data, which includes the audio, video, and other related information, is provided to an evaluation server where it is then analyzed and scored and compiled with other event data. Event data can be compiled for individual drivers, groups of drivers, and the entire universe of drivers for an organization. The evaluation server provides managers, supervisors, and executives with access to reports including granular information about risky behavior and trends related to individual drivers, groups of drivers, or the entire universe of drivers for the organization.

  • Patent number: 7659827
    Abstract: Systems and methods for taking risk out of driving are presented. The system comprises an event capture device that records audio, video, and other information that collectively comprise an event. The event data, including the audio, video, and other related information, is provided to an evaluation server where it is stored in a database of events. Driving events can be analyzed singularly or collectively to provide counseling of fleet drivers, reconstruction and forensic analysis of automobile accidents, and driver and/or vehicle scores/ratings.

  • Publication number: 20070268158
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scoring individual and groups of drivers and providing vehicle ratings based on captured driving event data are provided. The system comprises an event capture device that records both audio and video of an event. The event data, which includes the audio, video, and other related information, is provided to an evaluation server where it is compiled and analyzed to identify correlations between events, driving behavior, vehicles, circumstances of events, individual drivers, and other event attributes. These correlations are continuously updated and can be weighted in order to provide a comprehensive analysis of the tendencies and characteristics of an individual driver or group of drivers. Event data particular to an individual or group is compiled and analyzed to provide an individualized driver or group score that can be used as a basis to rate the driver or group for customized insurance coverage.
