Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] <A. Embodiment 1> <A-1. Configuration> FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the mobile quality evaluation device 101 according to Embodiment 1. The mobile quality evaluation device 101 evaluates the mobile quality of the light vehicle A. The mobile quality represents how safely the light vehicle A is moving.

[0010] The mobile quality evaluation device 101 is configured as a portable terminal 51 attached to the helmet of the driver of the light vehicle A as shown in FIG. 2, for example. Alternatively, the mobile quality evaluation device 101 is configured as a terminal 52 attached to the handle of a bicycle as shown in FIG. 3, for example. In FIG. 3, the light vehicle A is a bicycle. The configuration mode of the mobile quality evaluation device 101 is not limited to this, and it may be configured by a combination of a terminal and a server.

[0011] The light vehicle A is, for example, a bicycle, an e-scooter or a wheelchair. In the following description, the light vehicle A is assumed to be a bicycle.

[0012] The mobile quality evaluation device 101 includes a position acquisition unit 11, an operation acquisition unit 12, a map storage unit 13, an evaluation unit 14, an evaluation storage unit 15 and a specification storage unit 16.

[0013] The position acquisition unit 11 acquires the position information of the light vehicle A. The position acquisition unit 11 acquires the position information of the light vehicle A from a position detection device mounted on the light vehicle A. The position detection device incorporates a positioning device equipped with GNSS and detects the absolute position of the light vehicle A. The position acquisition unit 11 may incorporate the position detection device and detect the position of the light vehicle A by itself.

[0014] The motion acquisition unit 12 acquires motion information representing the motion of the light vehicle A. The motion of the light vehicle A includes at least one of the speed and acceleration of the light vehicle A, and may further include inclination. The motion acquisition unit 12 acquires the motion information of the light vehicle A from a motion detection device mounted on the light vehicle A. The motion detection device detects the motion of the light vehicle A using a speed sensor, an acceleration sensor, and an inclination sensor mounted on the light vehicle A. The motion acquisition unit 12 may have a built-in motion detection device and detect the motion of the light vehicle A by itself.

[0015] The map storage unit 13 stores map data including road information, which is information about roads on which the light vehicle A travels, and road attribute information associated with positions on the roads. In this embodiment, the road attributes are traffic regulations that must be observed on the roads.

[0016] The regulation storage unit 16 stores safety operation regulations that stipulate safe operations that should be performed by the light vehicle A. The safety operation regulations in this embodiment stipulate safe operations according to the road attributes of the traveling position of the light vehicle A. The safety operation according to the road attributes of the traveling position of the light vehicle A is also referred to as the first safety operation, and the regulations for the first safety operation are also referred to as the first safety operation regulations. In other words, the safety operation regulations in this embodiment include the first safety operation regulations.

[0017] The evaluation unit 14 acquires position information of the light vehicle A from the position acquisition unit 11, acquires operation information of the light vehicle A from the operation acquisition unit 12, acquires map data from the map storage unit 13, and acquires the first safe operation rule from the rule storage unit 16. The evaluation unit 14 identifies attribute information of the road on which the light vehicle A has traveled based on the position information and map data of the light vehicle A. Furthermore, the evaluation unit 14 identifies safe operations on the road on which the light vehicle A has traveled based on the attribute information of the road on which the light vehicle A has traveled and the first safe operation rule. Furthermore, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the mobility quality of the light vehicle A by comparing the operation information and safe operations on the road on which the light vehicle A has traveled. The greater the degree to which the light vehicle A complies with the first safe operation rule, the higher the mobility quality of the light vehicle A is evaluated.

[0018] The evaluation storage unit 15 stores the evaluation results of the moving quality of the light vehicle A by the evaluation unit 14. Here, the evaluation results may be stored in association with the ID of the light vehicle A or the ID of the driver.

[0019] <A-2. Operation> Figure 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the moving quality evaluation device 101 according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the operation of the moving quality evaluation device 101 will be described along the flowchart of Figure 4.

[0020] When the running of the light vehicle A starts, at step S101, the position acquisition unit 11 acquires the position information of the light vehicle A.

[0021] Next, at step S102, the operation acquisition unit 12 acquires the operation information of the light vehicle A.

[0022] Next, the evaluation unit 14 determines whether the road attribute of the position of the light vehicle A corresponds to the road attribute defined by the first safe operation regulation. Specifically, the evaluation unit 14 identifies one road attribute of the light vehicle A based on the position information of the light vehicle A and the map data. Then, the evaluation unit 14 determines whether the road attribute of the position of the light vehicle A corresponds to the road attribute defined by the first safe operation regulation described later in Figure 5.

[0023] If the position of the light vehicle A does not satisfy the evaluation conditions regarding the first safe operation at step S103, the process of the moving quality evaluation device 101 transfers to step S105.

[0024] If the position of the light vehicle A satisfies the evaluation conditions regarding the first safe operation at step S103, at step S104, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the moving quality by comparing the operation of the light vehicle A with the safe operation, and stores the evaluation result in the evaluation storage unit 15.

[0025] Specifically, the evaluation unit 14 compares the operation of the light vehicle A with the safe operation associated with the road attributes of the traveling position of the light vehicle A in the first safe operation regulation. If the two match, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the movement quality of the light vehicle A as good, and if the two do not match, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the movement quality of the light vehicle A as bad.

[0026] The evaluation result may be expressed numerically, with 1 point representing "good" and -1 point representing "bad." The evaluation result may not be a binary evaluation of travel quality, but may be a continuous numerical value between 0 and 1 representing the degree of compliance with the safety operation regulations. For example, if light vehicle A perfectly complies with the safety operation regulations, it may be evaluated as 1.0 points, and if it does not comply at all, it may be evaluated as 0.0 points. The evaluation unit 14 may evaluate the degree of compliance with the safety operation regulations according to the travel distance as travel quality.

[0027] The evaluation results may be stored for each safe operation rule, and may also be stored together with time or location information.

[0028] After step S104, the process of the movement quality evaluation device 101 proceeds to step S105. In step S105, the evaluation unit 14 determines whether the traveling of the light vehicle A has ended, and if the traveling has ended, the process of the movement quality evaluation device 101 ends.

[0029] FIG. 5 shows an example of a safety operation rule stored in the rule storage unit 16. In the safety operation rule, the safe operation that a light vehicle should perform is defined in association with a rule ID and a road attribute. That is, the safety operation rule defines the road attribute of the position where the light vehicle is traveling and the safe operation that the light vehicle should perform in association with each other. When the road attribute of the traveling position of the light vehicle A corresponds to one of the road attributes defined in the safety operation rule, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the movement quality of the light vehicle A by comparing the safe operation corresponding to the road attribute with the operation of the light vehicle A. Therefore, the road attribute defined in the safety operation rule is also an evaluation condition for the movement quality of the light vehicle A. The road attribute may be traffic law information for the road.

[0030] For example, for a road attribute of "stop," a safe action is "make a sudden stop just before the stop line." For a road attribute of "two-stage right turn at intersection," a safe action is "make a two-stage right turn at an intersection that includes a roadway." For a road attribute of "slow down area," a safe action is "drive at 8 km / h or less." For a road attribute of "bicycle lane available," a safe action is "drive on the bicycle lane." For a road attribute of "road with roadway," a safe action is "drive on the left edge of the roadway, or ride on the sidewalk at 4 km / h." The safe actions shown in FIG. 5 are actions that comply with traffic laws and regulations defined for each road attribute. Note that, although the road attribute of "two-stage right turn at intersection" was shown above, in countries where right-hand traffic is practiced, a road attribute of "two-stage left turn at intersection" is used instead. In this case, the safe action is "make a two-stage left turn at an intersection that includes a roadway." In this way, the safe actions comply with the laws and regulations of the country in which the travel quality evaluation device 101 is used.

[0031] Figure 6 shows a situation where light vehicle A makes a two-stage right turn at an intersection 41. The intersection 41 is an intersection where a two-stage right turn is required for light vehicles, and the map data defines a road attribute of "two-stage right turn at intersection" for the intersection 41. When light vehicle A makes a two-stage right turn at the intersection 41 as shown in Figure 6, the travel quality is evaluated as "good."

[0032] 7 shows a situation in which light vehicle A enters the center of an intersection 41 and turns right. In this case, the travel quality of light vehicle A is evaluated as "poor."

[0033] The safe operation rule may prescribe safe operations for movement between different road types specific to light vehicles. For example, when a light vehicle exits a narrow road that cannot be traversed by four-wheeled vehicles onto a wide road where four-wheeled vehicles can travel, the light vehicle must slow down or stop temporarily to check whether there are any vehicles traveling on the wide road. Therefore, "slow down or stop temporarily" may be defined as a safe operation for a road attribute "a connecting point from a narrow road that cannot be traversed by four-wheeled vehicles to a road."

[0034] FIG. 8 shows a case where a light vehicle A exits from a narrow road where a four-wheel vehicle cannot pass onto a wide road lane where a four-wheel vehicle can pass. An automobile B is traveling on the road lane, but there are obstacles 53 and 54 near the connection area 55 between the narrow road and the road lane, and the visibility from the light vehicle A to the road lane is poor. When the light vehicle A travels slowly or stops once in the connection area 55, the moving quality is evaluated as "good".

[0035] Also, when the light vehicle A exits from a narrow road onto a wide road lane via a sidewalk, similarly, when the evaluation unit 14 detects the removal or a temporary stop of the light vehicle A, the evaluation unit 14 may evaluate the moving quality as "good".

[0036] That is, the road attribute in the safety operation regulation of the present embodiment only needs to include at least any one of a road with a road lane, a position with a temporary stop sign, and a connection area between two roads of different types.

[0037] <A-3. Effect> The moving quality evaluation device 101 according to the first embodiment includes a map storage unit 13, a regulation storage unit 16, a position acquisition unit 11, an operation acquisition unit 12, and an evaluation storage unit 15. The map storage unit 13 stores map data for the light vehicle A including information on the attribute corresponding to the position of the road. The regulation storage unit 16 stores a safety operation regulation including a regulation of the first safety operation that the light vehicle A should perform according to the attribute of the road. The position acquisition unit 11 acquires the position information of the light vehicle A. The operation acquisition unit 12 acquires operation information which is information on the operation including the speed and acceleration of the light vehicle A. The evaluation unit 14 identifies the attribute of the traveling position of the light vehicle A based on the position information and the map data, and compares the operation of the light vehicle A at the traveling position of the light vehicle A with the first safety operation according to the attribute of the traveling position of the light vehicle A based on the safety operation regulation and the operation information, thereby evaluating the moving quality of the light vehicle A. The evaluation storage unit 15 stores the evaluation result of the moving quality of the light vehicle A.

[0038] Therefore, according to the moving quality evaluation device 101, the moving quality of the light vehicle A can be appropriately evaluated.

[0039] <A-4. First Modified Example> FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a moving quality evaluation apparatus 101A according to the first modification of the first embodiment. The moving quality evaluation apparatus 101A is composed of a terminal 42 mounted on a light vehicle A or carried by a driver of the light vehicle A, and a server Sv outside the light vehicle A.

[0040] The terminal 42 is provided with a position acquisition unit 11 and an operation acquisition unit 12. Further, the terminal 42 is provided with a communication unit 17 for communicating with the server Sv. The server Sv is provided with a map storage unit 13, an evaluation unit 14, an evaluation storage unit 15, and a standard storage unit 16.

[0041] In the evaluation storage unit 15 provided in the server Sv, in addition to the evaluation results of the moving quality of the light vehicle A, the evaluation results of the moving quality of other light vehicles can also be stored. Therefore, it is possible to compare the moving quality among a plurality of light vehicles.

[0042] <A-5. Second Modification> FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a moving quality evaluation apparatus 101B according to the second modification of the first embodiment. The moving quality evaluation apparatus 101B is composed of a terminal 42 mounted on a light vehicle A or carried by a driver of the light vehicle A, and a server Sv outside the light vehicle A.

[0043] The terminal 42 is provided with a position acquisition unit 11, an operation acquisition unit 12, an evaluation unit 14, an evaluation storage unit 15, a communication unit 17, and a behavior range estimation unit 18. The server Sv is provided with a map storage unit 13 and a standard storage unit 16.

[0044] The moving quality evaluation apparatus 101B includes a behavior range estimation unit 18 in addition to the configuration of the moving quality evaluation apparatus 101A. The behavior range estimation unit The behavior range estimation unit 18 estimates the behavior range of the driver of the light vehicle A and outputs it to the communication unit 17. The communication unit 17 transmits the driver's behavior range to the server Sv and receives the map data within the behavior range and the safety operation regulations regarding the roads within the behavior range from the server Sv. The evaluation unit 14 evaluates the moving quality of the light vehicle A using the map data within the driver's behavior range and the safety operation regulations received by the communication unit 17 from the server Sv.

[0045] According to the above configuration, since it is not necessary to store map data and safety operation regulations in the terminal 42, the required storage capacity of the terminal 42 can be reduced.

[0046] For the communication between the terminal 42 and the server Sv, a mobile phone communication network may be used, or short-range communication such as a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) may be used.

[0047] When short-range communication is used, when the communication unit 17 establishes communication with the server Sv via an access point capable of wireless communication with the server Sv, it may download map data and safety operation regulations from the server Sv. Also, the evaluation result of the movement quality of the light vehicle A stored in the evaluation storage unit 15 may be uploaded from the terminal 42 via the access point. According to the above configuration, inexpensive communication without using a mobile phone communication network becomes possible.

[0048] <A-6. Other Variants> Note that the terminal 42 may be a general-purpose mobile communication terminal typified by a smartphone. That is, by operating a movement quality evaluation application built in the general-purpose mobile communication terminal, the general-purpose mobile communication terminal may function as a movement quality evaluation device.

[0049] In addition to the mobile quality evaluation application, the general-purpose mobile communication terminal may include a resident application that detects the driver getting on the light vehicle A. When the resident application detects that the driver has got on the light vehicle A, the general-purpose mobile communication terminal may start the mobile quality evaluation application, and when the resident application detects that the driver has got off the light vehicle A, the general-purpose mobile communication terminal may terminate the mobile quality evaluation application. According to the above configuration, since the general-purpose mobile communication terminal performs the mobile quality evaluation process only when the driver gets on the light vehicle A, the CPU load required for the mobile quality evaluation process can be reduced. The resident application can determine whether the driver is on the light vehicle A based on the position information and speed of the light vehicle A. The CPU load required for this determination process is smaller than the CPU load of the mobile quality evaluation application.

[0050] The mobile quality evaluation device may be configured by a dedicated terminal distributed by the operator to the driver. With a dedicated terminal, data tampering can be prevented by security measures such as ID management or encryption. In addition, by distributing dedicated terminals with the same performance sensors to multiple drivers, the operator can evaluate the mobile quality of light vehicles based on the same criteria and obtain objective data.

[0051] <B. Embodiment 2> <B-1. Configuration> FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the mobile quality evaluation device 102 according to Embodiment 2. The mobile quality evaluation device 102 includes a peripheral situation acquisition unit 19 in addition to the configuration of the mobile quality evaluation device 101 according to Embodiment 1.

[0052] The surrounding situation acquisition unit 19 acquires the surrounding situation, which is the situation of moving objects around the light vehicle A. The surrounding situation includes at least the type and position of the moving objects around the light vehicle A. Examples of the type of moving object include light vehicles, automobiles, and pedestrians. The surrounding situation acquisition unit 19 acquires the surrounding situation of the light vehicle A from a surrounding detection device. The surrounding detection device is, for example, a Lidar (Light Detection And Ranging) or an image recognition device. The surrounding detection device may be a drive recorder for a light vehicle having a surrounding detection function. The surrounding situation acquisition unit 19 may incorporate the surrounding detection device and acquire the surrounding situation by itself.

[0053] In addition, the movement quality evaluation device 102 may include a communication unit that communicates with other moving objects, and the communication unit may acquire the position information of other moving objects through communication with the other moving objects. Alternatively, the communication unit may receive the position information of other moving objects from a server that manages the positions of moving objects provided outside the movement quality evaluation device 102. Then, the surrounding situation acquisition unit 19 may acquire the position information of other moving objects from the communication unit.

[0054] In Embodiment 1, the safety operation regulation stored in the specification storage unit 16 was the first safety operation regulation that defines the first safety operation, which is a safety operation according to the road attribute of the driving position of the light vehicle. In the present embodiment, the safety operation regulation stored in the specification storage unit 16 includes, in addition to the first safety operation regulation, the second safety operation regulation that defines the second safety operation, which is a safety operation according to the surrounding situation.

[0055] The evaluation unit 14 evaluates the movement quality of the light vehicle A by comparing the operation of the light vehicle A with the first safety operation and, in addition, comparing it with the second safety operation according to the surrounding situation.

[0056] <B-2. Operation> FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the operation of the movement quality evaluation device 102 according to Embodiment 2. The flow in FIG. 12 is obtained by adding steps S102A, S103A, and S104A to the flow in FIG. 4.

[0057] The travel quality evaluation device 102 acquires position information of the light vehicle A in step S101, acquires operation information of the light vehicle A in step S102, and then performs processing in step S102A. In step S102A, the surrounding condition acquisition unit 19 acquires the surrounding condition.

[0058] After step S102A, the movement quality evaluation device 102 performs the process of step S103A in parallel with step S103. In step S103A, the evaluation unit 14 determines whether the surrounding circumstances of the light vehicle A satisfy the evaluation conditions for the movement quality of the light vehicle A regarding the second safe operation. If the surrounding circumstances of the light vehicle A correspond to the road attributes of the second safe operation regulations described later in FIG. 13, the evaluation unit 14 determines that the evaluation conditions for the second safe operation are satisfied, and if not, determines that the evaluation conditions for the second safe operation are not satisfied.

[0059] If the surrounding circumstances of the light vehicle A do not satisfy the evaluation conditions for the second safety operation in step S103A, the movement quality evaluation device 102 proceeds to the processing of step S105 without evaluating the movement quality due to the second safety operation.

[0060] If the surrounding situation of the light vehicle A satisfies the evaluation condition related to the second safe operation in step S103A, the processing of the travel quality evaluation device 102 proceeds to step S104A.

[0061] In step S104A, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the movement quality by comparing the behavior of the light vehicle A with the second safe behavior, and stores the evaluation result in the evaluation storage unit 15.

[0062] Specifically, the evaluation unit 14 compares the behavior of the light vehicle A with the second safe behavior associated with the surrounding circumstances of the light vehicle A in the second safe behavior regulation. If the two match, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the movement quality of the light vehicle A as good, and if the two do not match, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the movement quality of the light vehicle A as bad.

[0063] After step S104A, the processing of the movement quality evaluation device 102 proceeds to step S105.

[0064] Figure 13 shows the second safety operation regulation among the safety operation regulations stored in the standard storage unit 16. The second safety operation regulation defines the safety operations to be performed by the light vehicle in association with the regulation ID and the surrounding situation. That is, the second safety operation is the safety operation that the light vehicle A should perform according to the surrounding situation.

[0065] For example, for the surrounding situation of "there are other bicycles", the safety operation is "do not drive side by side with other bicycles". Also, for the surrounding situation of "there are pedestrians", the safety operation is "reduce the speed when approaching pedestrians". Also, for the surrounding situation of "there is a bicycle in traffic congestion", the safety operations are "go slowly when passing by the side of a motor vehicle" and "go slowly when passing between two congested motor vehicles from the left and exiting to the opposite road".

[0066] Figure 14 shows a situation where motor vehicles 56, 57, 58, 59 are congested and the light vehicle A passes between motor vehicles 56 and 57 from the left and exits to the opposite road. At this time, if the light vehicle A is going slowly, the moving quality of the light vehicle A is evaluated as "good", and if the light vehicle A is not going slowly, the moving quality of the light vehicle A is evaluated as "bad".

[0067] <B-3. Effect> The moving quality evaluation device 102 of the second embodiment includes a surrounding situation acquisition unit 19 that acquires the surrounding situation, which is the situation of moving objects around the light vehicle A. The safety operation regulation includes the regulation of the second safety operation that the light vehicle A should perform according to the surrounding situation. The evaluation unit 14 evaluates the moving quality of the light vehicle A by comparing the operation of the light vehicle A with the second safety operation based on the safety operation regulation and the operation information. With the above configuration, the moving quality evaluation device 102 can evaluate not only the moving quality according to the position of the light vehicle A but also the moving quality according to the surrounding situation.

[0068] <C. Embodiment 3> <C-1. Configuration> Figure 15 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the moving quality evaluation device 103 of the third embodiment.

[0069] In addition to the configuration of the moving quality evaluation device 101 in the first embodiment, the moving quality evaluation device 103 includes a device operation status acquisition unit 20.

[0070] The device operation status acquisition unit 20 acquires the operation status of the devices by the driver of the light vehicle A. Here, the devices include the devices mounted on the light vehicle A and the devices carried by the driver of the light vehicle A. The devices mounted on the light vehicle A include a light projector such as a headlight or a siren. The devices carried by the driver include a portable communication terminal, earphones, an umbrella, or the like.

[0071] The device operation status acquisition unit 20 acquires the operation status of the devices, for example, by communicating with the devices. Alternatively, the device operation status acquisition unit 20 acquires the operation status of the devices by processing the captured images of the cameras attached to the light vehicle A or the driver.

[0072] In addition to the first safety operation regulations described in the first embodiment, the safety operation regulations stored in the specification storage unit 16 include the third safety operation regulations that define the third safety operation that the light vehicle A should perform regarding the operation of the devices.

[0073] <C-2. Operation> FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the operation of the moving quality evaluation device 103 according to the third embodiment. The flow in FIG. 16 is obtained by adding steps S102B, S103B, and S104B to the flow in FIG. 4.

[0074] After the moving quality evaluation device 103 acquires the position information of the light vehicle A in step S101 and the motion information of the light vehicle A in step S102, it performs the process of step S102B. In step S102B, the surrounding situation acquisition unit 19 acquires the device operation status.

[0075] After step S102B, the moving quality evaluation device 103 performs the process of step S103B in parallel with step S103. In step S103B, the evaluation unit 14 determines whether the evaluation conditions of the third safety operation regulations are satisfied.

[0076] If the evaluation conditions of the third safe operation specification are not satisfied in step S103B, the movement quality evaluation device 103 proceeds to the processing of step S105 without evaluating the movement quality according to the third safe operation.

[0077] If the evaluation conditions of the third safe operation code are satisfied in step S103B, the process of the movement quality evaluation device 103 proceeds to step S104B.

[0078] In step S104B, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the travel quality by comparing the device operation status of the driver of the light vehicle A with the third safety behavior, and stores the evaluation result in the evaluation storage unit 15.

[0079] Specifically, the evaluation unit 14 compares the operation of the light vehicle A with the third safe operation associated with the evaluation condition satisfied in the third safe operation regulation. If the two match, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the movement quality of the light vehicle A as good, and if the two do not match, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the movement quality of the light vehicle A as bad.

[0080] After step S104A, the process of the movement quality evaluation device 103 proceeds to step S105.

[0081] 17 illustrates the third safe operation rule. The third safe operation rule defines a third safe operation in association with a rule ID and an evaluation condition. When the evaluation condition is satisfied, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the travel quality based on whether the third safe operation corresponding to the evaluation condition matches the device operation status of the driver of the light vehicle A.

[0082] For example, for the evaluation condition of "nighttime", the safe operation is "turn on the headlights". Also, for the evaluation condition of "using a siren", the safe operation is "do not sound the siren continuously for more than 10 seconds". Also, for the evaluation condition of "possessing a mobile communication terminal", the safe operation is "do not drive while operating the mobile communication terminal". Also, for the evaluation condition of "wearing earphones", the safe operation is "set the volume of the earphones below the threshold value". Also, for the evaluation condition of "possessing an umbrella", the safe operation is "do not drive while holding an umbrella".

[0083] <C-3. Effect> The moving quality evaluation device 103 of Embodiment 3 includes a device operation status acquisition unit 20 that acquires the operation status of a device mounted on the light vehicle A or carried by the driver of the light vehicle A. The safe operation regulation includes the regulation of the third safe operation that the driver of the light vehicle A should perform regarding the operation of the device. The evaluation unit 14 evaluates the moving quality of the light vehicle A by comparing the operation of the light vehicle A with the third safe operation based on the safe operation regulation and the operation information. According to the moving quality evaluation device 103 of Embodiment 3, the moving quality of the light vehicle A can be evaluated according to the device operation status of the driver of the light vehicle A.

[0084] <C-4. Modified Example> The moving quality evaluation device 103 may be constituted by a lighting device that is detachable from the light vehicle A. In this case, the moving quality evaluation device 103 can appropriately acquire the usage status of the lighting device, which is a device of the light vehicle A, and use it for the evaluation of the moving quality of the light vehicle A.

[0085] <D. Embodiment 4> <D-1. Configuration> FIG. 18 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the moving quality evaluation device 104 of Embodiment 4.

[0086] The moving quality evaluation device 104 includes a driver state acquisition unit 21 in addition to the configuration of the moving quality evaluation device 101 of Embodiment 1.

[0087] The driver state acquisition unit 21 acquires the driver state of the light vehicle A. The driver state includes the physiological state and psychological state of the driver. The driver state acquisition unit 21 acquires the driver state from a driver state detection device (not shown). The driver state detection device detects the driver state by processing a captured image of a camera attached to the light vehicle A or the driver, for example. Alternatively, the driver state detection device may be a smart watch equipped with a sensor for detecting the physiological state of the driver.

[0088] In the present embodiment, the safety operation regulations stored in the specification storage unit 16 include, in addition to the first safety operation regulations, the fourth safety operation regulations that define the fourth safety operation, which is a safety operation related to the driver state.

[0089] The evaluation unit 14 evaluates the movement quality of the light vehicle A by comparing the operation of the light vehicle A with the first safety operation, and also evaluates the movement quality of the light vehicle A by comparing the driver state of the light vehicle A with the fourth safety operation.

[0090] <D-2. Operation> FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the operation of the movement quality evaluation device 104 of the fourth embodiment. The flow in FIG. 19 is obtained by adding steps S102C and S104C to the flow in FIG. 4.

[0091] The movement quality evaluation device 102 acquires the position information of the light vehicle A in step S101, acquires the operation information of the light vehicle A in step S102, and then performs the process of step S102C. In step S102C, the driver state acquisition unit 21 acquires the driver state.

[0092] If the position of the light vehicle does not satisfy the evaluation condition of the first safety operation in step S103, or after step S104, the process of the movement quality evaluation device 104 proceeds to step S104C. In step S104C, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the movement quality by comparing the driver state of the light vehicle A with the fourth safety operation, and stores the evaluation result in the evaluation storage unit 15.

[0093] Specifically, the evaluation unit 14 compares the driver state of the light vehicle A with all the fourth safety operations defined by the fourth safety operation regulation, evaluates the moving quality of the light vehicle A as good when the driver state of the light vehicle A matches all the fourth safety operations, and evaluates the moving quality of the light vehicle A as bad when there is a fourth safety operation that does not match the driver state of the light vehicle A.

[0094] After step S104C, the process of the moving quality evaluation device 104 proceeds to step S105.

[0095] FIG. 20 shows the fourth safety operation regulation among the safety operation regulations stored in the specification storage unit 16. The fourth safety operation regulation defines the fourth safety operations regarding the driver state that the driver of the light vehicle A should perform in association with the regulation IDs. For example, the fourth safety operations are "not getting overly irritated", "not driving absent-mindedly in a daze", and "not having a decrease in arousal".

[0096] <D-3. Effect> The moving quality evaluation device 104 according to the fourth embodiment includes a driver state acquisition unit 21 that acquires a driver state including the psychological state or physiological state of the driver of the light vehicle A. The safety operation regulation includes the regulation of the fourth safety operations that the driver of the light vehicle should perform regarding the driver state. The evaluation unit 14 evaluates the moving quality of the light vehicle A by comparing the operation of the light vehicle A with the fourth safety operations based on the safety operation regulation and the operation information. According to the moving quality evaluation device 104 of the fourth embodiment, the moving quality of the light vehicle A can be evaluated according to the driver state of the light vehicle A.

[0097] <E. Embodiment 5> <E-1. Configuration> FIG. 21 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the moving quality evaluation device 105 according to the fifth embodiment. The moving quality evaluation device 105 includes a purpose acquisition unit 22 in addition to the configuration of the moving quality evaluation device 101 according to the first embodiment.

[0098] The destination acquisition unit 22 acquires the moving destination of the light vehicle A. The moving destination of the light vehicle A may be input to the moving quality evaluation device 105 by the driver from an input unit (not shown). Examples of the moving destination include a home delivery destination such as broken items or food, a home delivery destination of a liquid such as a beverage, and a moving destination with a child seated in the rear seat.

[0099] In the present embodiment, the safety operation regulations stored in the standard storage unit 16 include, in addition to the first safety operation regulations, the fifth safety operation regulations that define the fifth safety operation, which is a safety operation according to the moving destination.

[0100] The evaluation unit 14 evaluates the moving quality of the light vehicle A by comparing the operation of the light vehicle A with the first safety operation, and also evaluates the moving quality of the light vehicle A by comparing the operation of the light vehicle A with the fifth safety operation according to the moving destination of the light vehicle A.

[0101] <E-2. Operation> FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the operation of the moving quality evaluation device 105 according to the fifth embodiment. The flow in FIG. 22 is obtained by adding steps S102D, S103D, and S104D to the flow in FIG. 4.

[0102] The moving quality evaluation device 104 acquires the position information of the light vehicle A in step S101, acquires the operation information of the light vehicle A in step S102, and then performs the process of step S102D. In step S102D, the destination acquisition unit 22 acquires the moving destination of the light vehicle A.

[0103] After step S102D, the moving quality evaluation device 104 performs the process of step S103D in parallel with step S103. In step S103D, the evaluation unit 14 determines whether the moving destination of the light vehicle A corresponds to the moving destination defined in the fifth safety operation regulations described later in FIG. 23.

[0104] If the moving destination of the light vehicle A in step S103D does not correspond to the moving destination of the fifth safety operation regulations, the moving quality evaluation device 104 proceeds to the process of step S105 without evaluating the moving quality according to the fifth safety operation.

[0105] In step S103D, if the moving purpose of the light vehicle A corresponds to the moving purpose of the fifth safe operation regulation, the process of the moving quality evaluation device 104 proceeds to step S104D.

[0106] In step S104D, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the moving quality by comparing the operation of the light vehicle A with the fifth safe operation, and stores the evaluation result in the evaluation storage unit 15.

[0107] Specifically, the evaluation unit 14 compares the operation of the light vehicle A with the fifth safe operation associated with the moving purpose of the light vehicle A in the fifth safe operation regulation. When the two match, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the moving quality of the light vehicle A as good, and when the two do not match, the evaluation unit 14 evaluates the moving quality of the light vehicle A as bad.

[0108] After step S104D, the process of the moving quality evaluation device 104 proceeds to step S105.

[0109] FIG. 23 shows the fifth safe operation regulation among the safe operation regulations stored in the regulation storage unit 16. The fifth safe operation regulation defines the safe operation that the light vehicle should perform in association with the regulation ID and the moving purpose. That is, the fifth safe operation is the safe operation that the light vehicle A should perform according to the moving purpose.

[0110] For example, for the moving purpose of "delivery of broken items or food", the safe operation is "the amplitude and acceleration of vibration are below the threshold value". Also, for the moving purpose of "delivery of beverages", the safe operation is "the inclination angle is below the threshold value". Also, for the moving purpose of "traveling with children", the safe operation is "do not perform sudden braking and do not become wobbly".

[0111] <E-3. Effect> The moving quality evaluation device 105 of Embodiment 5 includes a purpose acquisition unit 22 that acquires the moving purpose of the light vehicle A. The safe operation regulations include the regulations of the fifth safe operation that the light vehicle A should perform according to the moving purpose of the light vehicle A. The evaluation unit 14 evaluates the moving quality of the light vehicle A by comparing the operation of the light vehicle A with the fifth safe operation based on the safe operation regulations and the operation information. According to the moving quality evaluation device 105 of Embodiment 5, the moving quality of the light vehicle A can be evaluated according to the moving purpose of the light vehicle A.

[0112] <F. Embodiment 6> <F-1. Configuration> FIG. 24 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the moving quality evaluation device 106 of Embodiment 6. The moving quality evaluation device 106 includes an output control unit 23 in addition to the configuration of the moving quality evaluation device 101 of Embodiment 1.

[0113] The output control unit 23 outputs the evaluation result of the moving quality of the light vehicle A stored in the evaluation storage unit 15 to an external device 32 provided outside the light vehicle A. The output control unit 23 may output the evaluation result of the moving quality of the light vehicle A to the external device 32 by communication.

[0114] For example, when the light vehicle A is a vehicle for home delivery in the home delivery business and the external device 32 is a server managed by the home delivery business owner, the home delivery business owner can utilize the evaluation results of the moving qualities of a plurality of light vehicles stored in the server for the home delivery business. For example, the home delivery business owner can preferentially request home delivery from a driver with better moving quality. Alternatively, the home delivery business owner can set differences in home delivery fees according to the moving quality of the light vehicle. Thereby, the moving quality of the light vehicle can be spontaneously improved.

[0115] <F-2. Effect> The moving quality evaluation device 106 of Embodiment 6 includes an output control unit 23 that outputs the evaluation result stored in the evaluation storage unit 15 to an external device 32, which is a device outside the moving quality evaluation device 106. Therefore, according to the moving quality evaluation device 106, the evaluation result of the moving quality of the light vehicle A can be utilized by the external device 32.

[0116] <G. Embodiment 7> <G-1. Configuration> FIG. 25 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the moving quality evaluation apparatus 107 according to Embodiment 7. The moving quality evaluation apparatus 107 includes an output control unit 23 in addition to the configuration of the moving quality evaluation apparatus 101 according to Embodiment 1.

[0117] The output control unit 23 outputs the evaluation result of the moving quality of the light vehicle A stored in the evaluation storage unit 15 to an output device 33 provided in the light vehicle A. The output device 33 may be, for example, a drive recorder provided in the light vehicle A. The evaluation result of the moving quality of the light vehicle A may be stored in the drive recorder.

[0118] Alternatively, the output device 33 may be a display or a speaker provided in the light vehicle A. And when the evaluation result of the moving quality of the light vehicle A is worse than a predetermined standard, the output control unit 23 may cause the output device 33 to output an alarm.

[0119] Also, at a predetermined timing, the output control unit 23 may cause the output device 33 to output the evaluation result of the moving quality of the light vehicle A. Here, the predetermined timing is the timing when the light vehicle A stops or the timing requested by the driver. At this time, the output device 33 may perform a map display of the point where the moving quality was poor.

[0120] Also, the output control unit 23 may cause the output device 33 to output the result of comparing the moving quality of the light vehicle A with the moving qualities of other light vehicles by cooperating with a server. In this case, since the driver can grasp the level of his own moving quality by comparing it with other drivers, motivation to improve the moving quality can be obtained.

[0121] Also, the output control unit 23 may cause the output device 33 to output the point where the moving quality of other light vehicles deteriorates before the light vehicle A travels through that point. According to this, since it is possible to prompt the driver to pay attention to a point where the moving quality may deteriorate, the moving quality is improved.

[0122] Further, the output control unit 23 may cause the output device 33 to output a point where the deterioration of the moving quality of the light vehicle A has occurred a predetermined number of times or more in the past.

[0123] Further, based on the information on the moving quality of the light vehicle A in the past, the output control unit 23 may create a trend of deterioration or improvement of the moving quality, for example, on a monthly basis, and cause the output device 33 to output it. Thereby, the change in the moving quality can be conveyed to the driver, and the driver can be motivated to improve the moving quality.

[0124] <G-2. Effect> In the moving quality evaluation device 107 of the seventh embodiment, the output control unit 23 outputs the evaluation result stored in the evaluation storage unit 15 to the output device 33 mounted on the light vehicle A or carried by the driver of the light vehicle A. Thereby, according to the moving quality evaluation device 107, the evaluation result of the moving quality of the light vehicle A can be notified to the driver of the light vehicle A.

Each function of the position acquisition unit 11 and other units may be realized by multiple processing circuits 81, or the functions of each unit may be realized together by a single processing circuit.

[0127] When the processing circuit 81 is a processor, the functions of the position acquisition unit 11 and the like are realized by a combination of software, etc. (software, firmware, or software and firmware). The software, etc. is written as a program and stored in memory. As shown in FIG. 27, a processor 82 applied to the processing circuit 81 realizes the functions of each unit by reading and executing a program stored in a memory 83.

In other words, this program can be said to cause a computer to execute the procedures or methods of the position acquisition unit 11 and the like.Here, the memory 83 may be, for example, a non-volatile or volatile semiconductor memory such as RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), flash memory, EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), HDD (Hard Disk Drive), magnetic disk, flexible disk, optical disk, compact disk, mini disk, DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) and its drive device, or any storage medium that will be used in the future.

[0128] The above describes a configuration in which each function of the position acquisition unit 11, etc. is realized either by hardware or software, etc. However, this is not limited to this, and a configuration in which part of the position acquisition unit 11, etc. is realized by dedicated hardware and another part is realized by software, etc. For example, the function of the evaluation unit 14 can be realized by a processing circuit as dedicated hardware, and the other functions can be realized by the processing circuit 81 as the processor 82 reading and executing a program stored in the memory 83.

[0129] As described above, the processing circuit can realize each of the above functions by hardware, software, or a combination of these. Note that the map storage unit 13, evaluation storage unit 15, and regulation storage unit 16 are configured from memory 83, but they may be configured from a single memory 83, or each may be configured from an individual memory.
