The present invention is directed to a business method in the field of automobile insurance, more specifically, a system and method of determining an objective driver score that may be used universally by independent insurers to evaluate the risk of insuring a driver by employing certain risk assessment factors concerning the driver's personal history which are each analyzed to derive weighted scores. Each driver is provided with a portable pin with an electronic key unique to the driver that is encoded for selective activation of a monitoring unit in a vehicle such that solely the activities of the driver being assessed is recorded and communicated to an evaluation center. Once activated, the monitoring unit records and generates the driver's risk assessment record based on the driver's operation of a vehicle equipped with the monitoring unit, as well as other variable parameters concerning operation of the vehicle. Said driver's risk assessment record is analyzed to derive a weighted driver risk assessment score that is aggregated with the individual weighted scores derived from the risk assessment factors to generate an objective driver score.

A computer-implemented method for generating a risk assessment regarding a software implementation project includes accessing a previously specified importance value and maximum score for each of a multiple of risk factors. The importance value for each risk factor reflects experience of an implementing entity regarding the extent to which the factor may negatively impact a software implementation project if the factor is not adequately addressed, the importance value and maximum score for each factor being multiplied to define a potential weighted score for the factor. An actual score for a particular software implementation project is received for each factor based on an analysis specific to the particular project. An actual weighted score for the particular project is generated for each factor by multiplying the importance value and actual score for the factor, and a relationship between the potential weighted score and actual weighted score for each factor. A risk level for the particular project is assigned to each factor according to the relationship between the potential weighted score and the actual weighted score for the factor. The risk level for each factor represents an assessment regarding the extent to which the factor may negatively impact the particular project if the factor is not adequately addressed. A risk assessment is generated for the particular project including one or more of the assigned risk levels for the particular project for one or more corresponding factors.

The invention discloses a weighted nearest-neighbor data association method for a centralized multi-radar data processing process. The scores of seven parts including a gate, a course angle/angular velocity, attribute similarity, accelerated speed, response times, vertical distance and track status are associated, and the scores of the seven parts are subjected to the calculation of trace point and track relevancy based on the weighted scoring algorithm. In this way, the updated value of a final score is obtained. During the score associating process, after the calculation of trace point and track relevancy, the smaller the updated value of the final score of the associated values, the stronger the matching relationship. When the updated value of the final score of the associated values is larger than 0x9FFFF, the matching requirement is not met. In the condition of limited hardware resources and high requirement on real-time performance, the above data associated processing method is relatively efficient and accurate. Meanwhile, on the basis of an original nearest-neighbor associated processing method, other associated reference factors are introduced at the same time. Therefore, an optimal matching group between trace points and the track can be gradually found out.
