AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing driving ability assessment systems require imposing a load on drivers to evaluate their safe driving ability, which interferes with normal driving.

Method used

A system that assesses driving ability by acquiring steering angle data and determining cognitive function through steering characteristics, using first steering angle data when assistance is not provided more heavily than when assistance is provided, to evaluate driving ability without interference.

Benefits of technology

Enables accurate determination of driving ability without disrupting normal driving, allowing for early identification of cognitive decline and providing timely assistance measures.

Abstract

To determine operation ability without causing an operational issue.SOLUTION: An operation ability determination system 10 comprises: an information acquisition section 13 which acquires steering angle data indicating a time series change in a steering angle of a vehicle on the basis of information indicating whether steering support through a steering support function supporting steering operation by a driver of the vehicle is in execution; and an evaluation value calculation section 15 which calculates an evaluation value indicating a steering characteristic of the driver on the basis of the steering angle data acquired with the information acquisition section 13. The evaluation value calculation section 15 calculates the evaluation value by making weight of first steering angle data, among the steering angle data acquired with the information acquisition section 13, during a period when the steering support through the steering support function is not in execution larger than weight of second steering angle data during a period when the steering support through the steering support function is in execution.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
