Abstract
A method of providing an indication of driving performance involves obtaining a forward acceleration and speed of a vehicle. A forward acceleration threshold value is identified for use in identifying excessive forward acceleration of the vehicle based on the determined speed of the vehicle. For any vehicle speed within a range of vehicle speeds, the acceleration threshold value is defined by a function based on the determined speed of the vehicle, wherein the forward acceleration threshold value according to the function varies continually with vehicle speed over the range of vehicle speeds. The determined forward acceleration of the vehicle is compared with the determined acceleration threshold value, and an indication of an excessive forward acceleration driving event is generated when the determined forward acceleration exceeds the determined acceleration threshold value.
