1. A system for estimating driver efficiency, the system comprising:
at least one data storage operable to store telematics data originating from a plurality of telematics devices installed in a plurality of vehicles; and
at least one processor in communication with the at least one data storage, the at least one processor operable to:
identify, using the telematics data, a trip completed by at least one vehicle of the plurality of vehicles;
determine an estimated trip difficulty of each trip based on a plurality of trip metrics associated therewith that relate to vehicle fuel consumption;
determine, using the telematics data, a plurality of driver behavior metrics for each trip, each driver behavior metric corresponding to an action performable by a driver of the at least one vehicle; and
determine, for each trip, a driver efficiency score by:
generating a plurality of weighted driver behavior metrics by applying to each of the plurality of driver behavior metrics a weight selected based at least in part on a type of each of the plurality of driver behavior metrics and the estimated trip difficulty for each trip; and
aggregating the weighted driver behavior metrics for each trip to thereby determine the driver efficiency score thereof.
