Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a driving evaluation device that enables evaluation of driving for the purpose of improving a driving time in a circuit racecourse. The driving evaluation device includes an evaluation section extractor 24 that detects a deceleration section and an acceleration section in cornering, a tire friction circle-load factor calculator 27 that calculates, based on a front-rear acceleration and a lateral acceleration, a tire friction circle and a tire load factor in the deceleration section and those in the acceleration section, and a skill deficiency evaluator 28 that evaluates driving based on the tire friction circle and the tire load factor in the deceleration section and those in the acceleration section.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A driving evaluation device for evaluating a driver's skill in driving a vehicle, the driving evaluation device comprising: a section detector that detects a deceleration section and an acceleration section in cornering; a tire friction circle-tire load factor calculator that calculates, based on a front-rear acceleration and a lateral acceleration, a tire friction circle and a tire load factor in the deceleration section and a tire friction circle and a tire load factor in the acceleration section; and an evaluator that evaluates driving based on the tire friction circle and the tire load factor in the deceleration section and the tire friction circle and the tire load factor in the acceleration section. 2 . The driving evaluation device according to claim 1 , wherein the tire friction circle-tire load factor calculator combines a tire front-rear force and a tire lateral force into a composite, and calculates the tire load factor based on a ratio between the composite and the tire friction circle. 3 . The driving evaluation device according to claim 1 , wherein the evaluator evaluates a turning operation, an acceleration operation, and a deceleration operation that the driver has to perform in cornering, in each of the deceleration section and the acceleration section. 4 . The driving evaluation device according to claim 2 , wherein the evaluator evaluates a turning operation, an acceleration operation, and a deceleration operation that the driver has to perform in cornering, in each of the deceleration section and the acceleration section. 5 . A driving evaluation method to be performed by the driving evaluation device according to claim 1 , the driving evaluation method comprising: a section detection step including causing the section detector to detect a deceleration section and an acceleration section in cornering; a tire friction circle-and-tire load factor calculation step including causing the tire friction circle-tire load factor calculator to calculate, based on a front-rear acceleration and a lateral acceleration, a tire friction circle and a tire load factor in the deceleration section and a tire friction circle and a tire load factor in the acceleration section; and an evaluation step including causing the evaluator to evaluate driving based on the tire friction circle and the tire load factor in the deceleration section and the tire friction circle and the tire load factor in the acceleration section.
