The granted patent (Publication Number: US11919523B2) discloses a method for engaging a vehicle safety system based on driver risk score and data received from a vehicle telematics device. The method involves identifying safety violations, generating safety control signals, and engaging safety systems such as reducing engine rotations, applying brakes, shifting gears, or even disabling the vehicle temporarily. Additionally, the safety system can instruct an autonomous driving system to take over and drive the vehicle to a safe location, or alert the driver through visual or audio cues of unsafe driving behavior.

Furthermore, the method includes disengaging the safety system once it has responded to the safety control signal, and utilizes machine learning processes to calculate driver risk scores based on anomalies in the telematics data. The safety violations are identified by comparing data to reference threshold values, which are dependent on the driver risk score. The method also allows for generating multiple safety control signals to engage different safety systems, confirming their responses through sensor data, and subsequently disengaging them once the response is confirmed. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to enhancing vehicle safety through real-time monitoring and intervention based on driver behavior and risk assessment.
