A system and method for collecting and evaluating data associated with operation of a vehicle. Vehicle trajectory data associated with operation of a vehicle is received from a device configured to collect the vehicle trajectory data. The vehicle trajectory data comprises time-marked and location-marked speed data. The vehicle trajectory data is segmented into one or more segments, each representing a pattern of driver behavior. Event data is retrieved from one or more databases and corresponds to a time associated with the time marking of the vehicle trajectory data and a location associated with the location marking of the vehicle trajectory data. The segments are correlated with the event data using the time and the location. The correlations are analyzed. Based on the analysis, associations between the vehicle trajectory data and the event data are determined. The associations represent a causal relationship between the segments and the event data.
