Abstract: A driving management system includes a driving data collection module and a processing module. The driving data collection module, which is deployed within a vehicle, collects individual vehicle operation information for the vehicle in response to operation of the vehicle. The processing module compares the individual vehicle operation information with collective empirical vehicle operation information to provide individual comparison results. The processing module also provides vehicle operation feedback information to at least one user associated with the vehicle based on the individual comparison results. The collective empirical vehicle operation information is at least based on vehicle operation information for a plurality of other vehicles.
