Game-Based Driving Assessment for Broader Driver Behavior Scoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing driving assessment devices lack the ability to effectively encourage drivers to conduct a wide range of driving operations, as they do not provide sufficient motivation or engagement to assess various driving assessment items.
Innovation Solution
A driving assessment device that uses a processor to assess multiple driving operations and assigns modification factors to characters in a game, encouraging drivers to perform a variety of driving tasks by providing different modifications and scores based on assessment results, allowing for the selection of multiple characters and bonus actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a driving assessment device uses a processor to assess multiple driving assessment items with mutually different details, then the assessment comprehensiveness is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The processor is designed to perform multiple assessment functions by evaluating different driving assessment items (acceleration, deceleration, steering, etc.) through a unified assessment framework. This allows a single device to handle diverse assessment tasks without requiring separate assessment systems for each driving parameter, thereby improving assessment comprehensiveness while controlling device complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the processor assigns modification factors to characters in a game based on assessment results, then the driver engagement is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A game application serves as an intermediary between the driving assessment system and the driver. The processor assigns modification factors to game characters based on assessment results, and the game application presents these results in an engaging visual format. This intermediary layer translates complex assessment data into intuitive game elements, improving driver engagement while keeping the core assessment system relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces traditional mechanical feedback methods (such as physical displays or audio notifications) with digital game-based feedback. By using virtual character modifications in a game environment, the system provides engaging feedback without requiring complex physical feedback mechanisms, thereby improving engagement while controlling system complexity.
3Measurement precision
If the processor computes scores and generates modification factors for multiple driving assessment items, then the assessment detail level is improved, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The assessment process is segmented into distinct evaluation stages, with each driving assessment item (acceleration, deceleration, steering, etc.) being evaluated separately. The processor computes scores for individual items and generates modification factors in a structured sequence. This segmentation allows for detailed assessment while organizing processing tasks efficiently, reducing overall processing time through systematic task management.

AI summary
A processor is capable of assessing plural driving assessment items with mutually different details on the basis of driving operations of a vehicle. A game is displayed at a display part of an operation terminal by execution of a game application. The processor assigns modification factors generated in accordance with assessment results of the driving assessment items to a character in the game.
