`ABSTRACT
`
`(57)
`A data logging device tracks the operation of a vehicle or
`driver actions. The device includes a storage device, which
`may be removable or portable, having a first memory portion
`that may be read from and may be written to in a vehicle and
`a second memory portion that may be read from and may be
`written to in the vehicle. The second memory portion may
`retain data attributes associated with the data stored in the first
`removable storage device. A processor reads data from an
`automotive bus that transfers data from vehicle sensors to
`other automotive components. The processor writes data to
`the first memory portion and the second memory portion that
`reflect a level ofrisk or safety. A communication device links
`the storage device to a network of computers. The communi-
`cation device may be accessible through software that allows
`a user to access files related to a level of risk or safety and
`other software that may be related to those files.
