Abstract

A system for driver compliance risk adjustments includes an interface and a processor. The interface is to receive driver violation data. The processor is to determine risk based at least in part on the driver violation data and provide an event recorder one or more risk adjustments based at least in part on the risk.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for determining driver compliance risk adjustments, comprising:
an event recorder configured to collect sensor data;
an interface to:
receive driver violation data, wherein the driver violation data includes data usable to determine whether at least one violation has occurred;

a processor to:
determine collision risk based at least in part on the driver violation data;
provide the event recorder with one or more compliance risk adjustments based at least in part on the determined collision risk;
receive sensor data from the event recorder; and
mark received sensor data as event data based on the sensor data meeting the one or more compliance risk adjustments.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the driver violation data comprises data associated with at least one of: maintenance of a vehicle with which the driver violation data is associated, compliance with legal regulations, a work schedule of a driver, and working characteristics of a driver.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the driver violation data comprises an hours of service log.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the driver violation data comprises a maintenance log.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interface is to receive a maintenance log.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the processor is to determine the collision risk based at least in part on the maintenance log.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interface is to receive collision data.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is to determine the collision risk based at least in part on the collision data.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein determining risk is based at least in part on a profile of database driver violation data, the profile being associated with at least one event occurring prior to a collision.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein determining risk comprises determining similarity between driver violation data to the profile of database driver violation data prior to the collision.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein determining risk is based at least in part on a profile of database driver violation data prior to an event, wherein the event is not a collision.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein an adjustment of the one or more adjustments comprises a threshold adjustment.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the threshold adjustment increases sensitivity of event detection for the event recorder.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the threshold adjustment decreases sensitivity of event detection for the event recorder.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the threshold adjustment increases sensitivity of event detection.

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the threshold adjustment decreases sensitivity of event detection.

17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the driver violation data is associated with a specific driver.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the event recorder is associated with a vehicle being driven by the driver.

19. A method of determining driver compliance risk adjustments, comprising:
collecting, using an event recorder, sensor data;
receiving driver violation data, wherein the driver violation data includes data usable to determine whether at least one violation has occurred;
determining, using a processor, collision risk based at least in part on the driver violation data;
providing the event recorder with one or more compliance risk adjustments based at least in part on the determined collision risk;
receiving, from the event recorder, the sensor data; and
marking, using the processor, received sensor data as event data based on the sensor data meeting the one or more compliance risk adjustments.

20. A computer program product for determining driver compliance risk adjustments, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
collecting, using an event recorder, sensor data;
receiving driver violation data, wherein the driver violation data includes data usable to determine whether at least one violation has occurred;
determining collision risk based at least in part on the driver violation data;
providing the event recorder with one or more compliance risk adjustments based at least in part on the determined collision risk;
receiving sensor data; and
marking received sensor data as event data based on the sensor data meeting the one or more compliance risk adjustments.

21. The method of claim 19 , wherein the driver violation data includes an aggregation of vehicle event data and compliance data and the collision risk is determined based on the aggregation.
