  • Publication number: 20240317136
    Abstract: A method includes receiving electronic signals from a computing device disposed in a vehicle during a drive that are indicate motion data measured in a reference frame of the computing device and transforming the motion data to produce acceleration vectors for the vehicle. The method also includes detecting a hard braking event using the acceleration vectors and alerting a driver to the hard braking event in real time. The method also includes detecting a subsequent hard braking event and alerting the driver to the subsequent hard braking event in real time in response to determining that an elapsed time since the first alert is greater than or equal to a predefined period of time, the number of events detected since the first alert is greater than or equal to a predefined number of events, or both.
