Determination of coverage and premiums for vehiele insur- ‘ance may not incorporate driving coalext such as the con ditions in which a driver is driving driver skills and babits, ‘and so on. Furthermore, the insurance packages offered 10 driver: by the insurince industry tend to be relatively homogeneous, even though driving skills and driving envie ronments vary widely 10003] Typically, insurance includes 1wo types of cover age: private and commercial policies. Packages are rogu- Tated at valoation of the vehiele and may not account for driver behaviour 10005) In developing countries, policyholders and vehicle ‘owners may aot be the nominal drivers of insured vehicles Fathermore, roadways are dynamic with numerous modes ‘of transport requiring vehicles to execute mancuvers {0 avoid hazards such as pedestrians, motorbikes, and push ‘earls. All ofthese factors result in situations where policies and premiums are determined by Lactors that do not properly Jndicate the risk associated withthe insurance policy. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 10006] A goal ofthis invention isto provide a system 10 eam snd detect the conditions and driving context that resulted in drivers executing dangerous maneuvers. Using ‘contextual information, diver performance and behaviours ‘ean be determined and evahuated. Driver incident scores, Which are widely used in the insurance industry but are ‘ypically erudely determined, are calculated using driver behaviour weighted within driving context to beter predict Fisk associated with individual divers. Driver risk patterns ‘are determined relative wo other's performance within simi Jar context. Accordingly, the invention uses & cognitive method to reason across multiple domains, such as driver ‘behavior, oad quality, and traffic eonlitions- to understand ‘divers in any given context. Furthermore, the systems are ble to gather insights for dession support on how to drive in specific parts of rads und in ceeain conditionsicontext (oa, time of day, weather, etc) [0007] The sige-based automotive insurance industry, among others, is empossered by the methods and systems herein with an ability to rewand drivers behaving well. This furor encourages improved driver behaviour. In embodie ments, the systems can be used for pamifiction to improve Mar. 1, 2018 rivers’ driving and to rece risk, Accordingly the systems offer an aid for behavioural change and enforcement to ‘ultimately reduce the number of trallic-elated accidents and Titalities, The systems als aid insurance companies to ofr custom insurance packages (for drivers and owners), eval fate historical driver bebiviour, and predict new driver risk based in part on contextual data. The invention may allow insurance providers to expand their customer hase beyond vehicle owners to include drivers (where owners and drivers are different peoplelenitis). [0008] The systems may furter reduce the number of claims by encouraging improved driver behavior through recommendations over how to drive in certain contexts. The systems may further provide input to routing system Tor ‘minimal risk given curent driving context The systems may further auto-manufietures and producers of after market driver assistance devicessystems provide intelligent vehicle systems built fo account for driving context as well as traditional measures of risk. The systems may further aid road planning, maintenance and decision support for g0¥~ ‘emumeat to update roads that would improve overall deving conditions [0009] In an aspect, then, is 8 method for detemaining river behavior comprising: recording, by an in-vehicle sensor, a subject driver maneuver data and tagging. the subject driver maneuver data with subject metadata com- rising a subject time stamp and subject location stump: reteoving from a driver maneuver database relevant histor cal driver mancuver data, the relevant historical driver ‘maneuver data comprising tagged historical metedata com- prising ahistorical location stamp that corresponds within a threshold distance tothe subject location stamp; calculating ‘a single-incideat driver score by scaling the subject driver maneuver data aeconding to the relevant historical driver ‘maneuver data and tagged historical metadata; updating an ‘aggregate subject driver score based on the single incident ‘river score: and establishing a communication link with aa falomated insurance premium system and communicating the updated aggregate subject driver scone tothe automated Jnsurance premim system. In erabodiments [0010] the subject time stamp is provided by an in-vehicle clock or a GPS signal, and wherein the subject location Stamp is provided by # GPS signal or determined from & plurality of cellular signals: [O11] the subject maneuver data is determined fom plurality of in-vehicle sensors, [012] the historical metadata further comprises conte: ‘ual information selected from weather, time of day, and [0013] the updated agaregate subject driver score is in & ‘message configured o cause the automated insurance pre- ‘ium system to automatically alter an insurance product ‘based on the updated subject driver score, [0014] the driver maneuver database is stored and main- lained remotely on a remote server, wherein the remote server is eonfigured to receive subject driver maneuver data and subject metadata [0015] further comprising updating the driver maneuver database based on the subject driver maneuver data and subject metadata [0016] the tagged historical metadata futher comprises historical weather report, and wherein the method further ‘comprises obtaining a subject weather report corresponding US 2018/0060970 AI to the subject location tamp and ads report tothe subject metadata and 10017] further comprising adding a subject weather report to the subject metadata, the subject weather report corre- sponding within a threshold distance to the subject time samp and subject location stamp, and further comprising using the subject weather report in calculating the single- incident driver sore 10018] In an aspect is a system that determines and moni- tors driver behavior comprising: an in-vehicle device com- figured to obtain subject driver mancuver data by selectively palling at lest one in-vehicle sensor at @ predetermined ‘nerval or upon a maneuver event, wherein the subject driver maneuver data is tagged with metadata comprising a subject location stamp and subject tim stamp; processor ‘coupled toa memory and a wireless network and configured to store the subject driver maneuver data in the memory ‘along with relationship data that Tinks the subject driver maneuver data toa vehicle identifier, a wireless transceiver ‘configured to transmit the relationship data and subject driver manewer data through # mobile communication network that provides access (0 a distributed network: @ receiver configured to reeeive the relationship data and the ‘subject driver maneuver data via the distributed network: and a processor coupled tothe receiver and programmed to ‘calculate a single-incident driver score by sealing the subject driver maneuver data according to relevant historical driver ‘maneuver data and historical metadata corresponding to the relevant historical diver mancuver data, the relevant his- torical driver maneuver data coreating to the subject loea- tion, wherein the processor is further programmed to update ‘an aggregate subject driver score based on the caleulsted singleineident driver score, and wherein the processor is further programmed to generate and transmit across the distributed network an alert based om the single-incident “driver score or the aggregate subject driver seore.
