Abstract
A fleet management server is configured to receive, via a wireless transceiver, driver and vehicle information from a plurality of vehicles relating to a plurality of drivers. The server computes, based on the received driver and vehicle information, occurrence rates for predetermined vehicle events and predetermined vehicle error codes that are associated with possible vehicle tampering, and then compares, based on the received driver and vehicle information, an occurrence rate for the predetermined vehicle events and predetermined vehicle error codes of a first driver to occurrence rates for the predetermined vehicle events and predetermined vehicle error codes of one or more of the other plurality of drivers. The server is further configured to determine, based on a result of said comparing, a tampering indicator for the first driver, and to output, to a user of the fleet management server, a confidence level that the first driver has tampered with at least one information component of at least one vehicle of the plurality of vehicles based at least in part on the tampering indicator.
