System, apparatus, and method for driving support
First Claim
1. A system for driving support, comprising:
- a terminal configured to be mounted on a vehicle and acquire driving information including data acquired during the vehicle being driven by a driver; and
a control device configured to collect, from the terminal, the driving information associated with driver identification information for identification of the driver of the vehicle,wherein the terminal includes a first processor configured to acquire the driving information and transmit the driving information to the control device, andwherein the control device includes a second processor configured toexecute an evaluation process that includes evaluating a degree of safe driving of the driver in accordance with the driving information corresponding to the driver indicated by the driver identification information,execute a behavioral change determination process that includesdetermining whether the degree of safe driving of the driver is higher than a threshold, anddetermining whether driving behavior of the driver varies in accordance with the driving information corresponding to the driver when the degree of safe driving of the driver is higher than the threshold,execute a road surface condition determination process that includes determining that a road section identified by the driving information corresponding to the driver is in a condition turning into bad road when the behavioral change determination process determines that the driving behavior of the driver is varied, andexecute an update process that includes updating road surface condition information that indicates a road surface condition in the road section, based on a result of determination in the road surface condition determination process.

Abstract
A method for driving support includes: collecting driving information from a terminal mounted on a vehicle driven by a driver, the driving information including data acquired by the terminal during the vehicle is driven by the driver; evaluating a degree of safe driving of the driver in accordance with the driving information; determining whether driving behavior of the driver varies based on the driving information when the driver is a person for whom a degree of safe driving is evaluated higher than a threshold; executing a determination process for determining that a road section identified by the driving information is in a condition turning into bad road when the driving behavior is determined as being varied in accordance with the driving information; and updating road surface condition information that indicates a road surface condition in the road section, based on a result of determination in the determination process.
