Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to methods and apparatus for controlling a vehicle based on motion or kinematic data received by a computer when the behavior of a driver is being monitored. Such methods and apparatus may generate one or more safety indices that may include a driver score, a vehicle safety score, and/or an environment safety score. These safety indices may optionally be weighted and combined into an overall safety score, grade, or index. The safety scores or indices may be used to generate a personalized speed threshold or acceleration threshold for a vehicle and/or a driver of the vehicle. Methods and apparatus consistent with the present disclosure may result in the speed of a vehicle being reduced, an increase in vehicle location accuracy, or functions such as headlights or windshield wipers or automated driving assistance being turned on to increase safety.
