Abstract

Systems and methods for building road models, driver models, and vehicle models and making predictions may use driving data received from a plurality of vehicles being driving along a path by a driver. The driving data including a minimum of vehicle location preferably supplemented by data related to the time of observations, vehicle dynamics, and various vehicle sensors. The received data may be categorized into a plurality of maneuvers and a plurality of variables that describe the maneuvers and the received driving data may be identified. A road model may then be built for the path based on the identified variables and maneuvers and the behaviors of a particular driver compared to the road model to assess their driving and intervene as appropriate.
