SQL Running Totals and Moving Averages

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Cambridge Mobile Telematics uses telematics event data to monitor driver risk in its safety analytics products. Write a PostgreSQL query that reports confirmed harsh-braking activity for each driver.

Requirements

  1. Aggregate confirmed harsh-braking events by driver and event date.
  2. Calculate a cumulative running total per driver, ordered chronologically.
  3. Calculate the average daily harsh-braking count over the current date and preceding 29 calendar days for each driver.
  4. Return results ordered by driver and event date. Exclude non-harsh-braking and non-confirmed events.
