    Abstract: A fleet vehicle management system includes an edge device disposed in a vehicle and a cloud device. A processing module of the edge device acquires around-view image and determines at least one traffic indication accordingly. The nearing event warning module of the edge device sends out a nearing event alert to a driver via an output module. The after event detection module of the edge device acquires GPS informations in a first time interval and a second time interval respectively to determine whether the vehicle meets an after event criterion. A violation event is triggered if the after event criterion is met. A database of the cloud device stores the nearing event alert, a driving violation result and a driving record information. The driver behavior analysis module generates an information for evaluating a driving score based on the nearing event, the violation event and the driving record information.
