1. A method of performing a vehicle-based safety intervention, comprising:
receiving sensor data collected or generated by an onboard computing system of a vehicle;
dividing the sensor data into a plurality of blocks, each of the blocks having a duration;
applying a driver behavioral model to one or more of the plurality of blocks to generate a plurality of driver behavioral parameters for each block;
determining that a driver's performance when operating the vehicle is unsatisfactory or will be unsatisfactory in the future; and
generating a vehicle-based intervention based on the determination that the driver's performance is unsatisfactory or will be unsatisfactory in the future;
wherein the plurality of driver behavioral parameters includes a delay corresponding to a reaction time of the driver, a corrective force proportional value corresponding to a magnitude with which the driver takes corrective action and a damping value corresponding to a modulation of the corrective action; and
wherein the determination that the driver's performance is unsatisfactory or will be unsatisfactory in the future is based on a determination that a combination of the delay, the corrective force and the damping value exceeds a multidimensional bound.
