Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for a vehicle monitoring and driver support system. The vehicle monitoring and driver support system includes one or more sensors configured to capture vehicle sensor data of a vehicle and an electronic control unit in electronic communication with the sensors. When a driver is operating the vehicle, the system receives the vehicle sensor data. The system can also receive survey data indicative of a personality and/or an attitude of the driver. Based on the vehicle sensor data and/or the survey data, the system uses a first predictive model to predict a general risky driving behavior. In response to predicting the general risky driving behavior, the system uses a second predictive model to predict a specific risky driving behavior. The system can activate countermeasures to encourage the driver to respond and mitigate the risky driving behavior.
