Abstract

Systems, methods, and techniques for determining optimal safe driving behaviors and optimal safety thresholds of the various parameters for particular routes are disclosed. Historical driver data for a plurality of drivers operating vehicles over various routes during different contextual situations and/or different combinations of conditions along the routes is analyzed to determine respective, relative weightings/contributions of various parameters towards driving safety. Data indicative of a particular driver's behavior along a particular route during a particular set of conditions or contexts is obtained and compared to the analysis results to thereby determine or assess the driver's safety performance. The driver's safety performance may be evaluated in real-time, e.g., based on up-to-the-minute or currently obtained drivers' data, so as to provide the driver with evaluation results, provide the driver with suggestions for improving driving safety, and/or automatically adjust an operation of the vehicle while the vehicle is traversing the particular route.
