Driver analysis and incident tracking for vehicle fleets
The patent US12062287B2 outlines a comprehensive method and system for analyzing driver performance within a fleet of vehicles. The process begins with a vehicle tracker obtaining incident information related to a driver's driving characteristics. This information is used to generate metadata for real-time video footage, which is then embedded into the video frames. The real-time video and metadata are transmitted to a driver monitoring engine, where incidents are assessed, risks are determined, and a driver score is calculated. The system allows supervisors to request and view detailed driver profiles, which include the driver score and real-time video, and updates these profiles in real-time. Additionally, the method can display incident reports on a map corresponding to their locations.
The system incorporates various technological components, including sensors to detect driving characteristics and a vehicle monitoring camera that transmits incident videos and metadata. A proximity tag worn by the driver enhances the authentication of the video data. The driver score is derived not only from the individual driver's performance but also through comparisons with other drivers in the fleet. Furthermore, the system can generate tailored training recommendations based on the driver score, which may include the real-time video and metadata. The incident information can also encompass vehicle status and geographic orientation, providing a holistic view of driver performance and safety within the fleet.
