Abstract

A safety score using video data but without video comprises an input interface and a processor. The input interface is configured to receive sensor data. The processor is configured to provide the sensor data to a safety score determiner, and determine a safety score using the safety score determiner without using inward facing video data, wherein the safety score determiner has been trained using a data set that includes sensor data with inward facing video data. The system for determining a safety score additionally comprises a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for determining a safety score, comprising:
receiving maneuver data;
rendering, by a processor, video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface;
receiving at least one selection of the at least one hazard option;
determining, by the processor, a first safety score based on the received at least one selection;
associating, by the processor, the determined first safety score with the maneuver data; and
outputting, by the processor, the association of the determined first safety score with the maneuver data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received maneuver data includes a maneuver vector.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received maneuver data includes a maneuver vector and associated video.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determination of the first safety score includes summing a set of safety scores associated with each of the at least one hazard option.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the association of the determined first safety score with the maneuver data is output to an automatic safety score determiner.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the association of the determined first safety score with the maneuver data is output to an automatic safety score database.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rendering of video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface includes video captured by an inward camera.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rendering of video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface includes video captured by a forward camera.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rendering of video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface includes displaying video captured by an inward camera and video captured by a forward camera side by side.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rendered at least one corresponding hazard option includes cell phone usage.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rendered at least one corresponding hazard option includes eating while driving.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rendered at least one corresponding hazard option includes cornering.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rendered at least one corresponding hazard option includes cornering and an associated direction.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rendered at least one corresponding hazard option includes following within a threshold distance of a preceding vehicle.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rendered at least one corresponding hazard option includes a collision.

16. The method of claim 1 , the rendering of video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface includes rendering an option to advance to a next event.

17. The method of claim 1 , the rendering of video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface includes rendering an option to advance to a previous event.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving at least one selection of the at least one hazard option includes a safety review.

19. A system for determining a safety score, comprising:
a communications interface configured to receive maneuver data; and
a processor configured to:
render video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface;
receive, via the communications interface, at least one selection of the at least one hazard option;
determine a first safety score based on the received at least one selection;
associate the determined first safety score with the maneuver data; and
output the association of the determined first safety score with the maneuver data.

20. A computer program product for determining a safety score, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
receiving maneuver data;
rendering, by a processor, video associated with the maneuver data and at least one corresponding hazard option on a user interface;
receiving at least one selection of the at least one hazard option;
determining, by the processor, a first safety score based on the received at least one selection;
associating, by the processor, the determined first safety score with the maneuver data; and
outputting, by the processor, the association of the determined first safety score with the maneuver data.
