Abstract

A first storing unit stores therein a driving definition defined by tag data of radio IC tags installed in a driving area of a vehicle, which indicates at least one of an adequate driving condition and an inadequate driving condition for the vehicle. An acquiring unit acquires tag data read by a radio IC tag reading device provided in the vehicle from the radio IC tags with a driving of the vehicle. A second storing unit stores acquired tag data in a predetermined storage unit. A judging unit judges an adequacy of a driving condition of the vehicle by comparing stored tag data with stored driving definition.

Claims

1. A computer-readable recording medium that stores therein a computer program for assisting a training of driving a vehicle, the computer program causing a computer to execute:

first storing including storing a driving definition that is defined using tag data of a plurality of radio integrated-circuit tags installed in a driving area of the vehicle, the driving definition indicating at least one of an adequate driving condition and an inadequate driving condition for the vehicle;

acquiring tag data read by a radio integrated-circuit tag reading device provided in the vehicle from the radio integrated-circuit tags with a driving of the vehicle;

second storing including storing the tag data acquired at the acquiring in a predetermined storage unit; and

judging an adequacy of a driving condition of the vehicle by comparing the tag data stored at the second storing with the driving definition stored at the first storing.

2. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1, wherein the computer program further causes the computer to execute notifying a result of judgment on the adequacy of the driving condition to the vehicle.

3. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 2, wherein

the first storing includes storing a driving definition that is associated with an adequacy level of the driving condition indicating a level of an adequacy or an inadequacy of the driving condition for the vehicle, and

the judging includes judging an adequate level of the driving condition for the vehicle by comparing the tag data stored at the second storing with the driving definition stored at the first storing.

4. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 3, wherein the notifying includes notifying the result of judgment to the vehicle in different manners depending on adequacy levels of the driving condition judged at the judging.

5. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1, wherein

the first storing includes storing a driving definition in which a plurality of pieces of tag data indicates a single driving condition,

the acquiring includes acquiring the pieces of tag data simultaneously,

the second storing includes storing the pieces of tag data simultaneously acquired at the acquiring in the predetermined storage unit, and

the judging includes judging the adequacy of the driving condition by comparing the pieces of tag data stored at the second storing with the driving definition stored at the first storing.

6. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 5, wherein

the first storing includes storing a driving definition in which series of tag data of radio integrated-circuit tags installed along an adequate driving route for the vehicle, and

the judging includes

comparing the pieces of tag data stored at the second storing with the driving definition stored at the first storing, and

judging, when the pieces of tag data stored at the second storing is in a same sequence as series of tag data in the driving definition, that the driving condition of the vehicle is adequate.

7. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 5, wherein

the first storing includes storing a driving definition in which series of tag data of radio integrated-circuit tags installed along an inadequate driving route for the vehicle, and

the judging includes

comparing the pieces of tag data stored at the second storing with the driving definition stored at the first storing, and

judging, when the pieces of tag data stored at the second storing is in a same sequence as series of tag data in the driving definition, that the driving condition of the vehicle is inadequate.

8. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 5, wherein the judging includes

calculating a driving speed of the vehicle from the pieces of tag data stored at the second storing, and

judging the adequacy of the driving condition from the driving speed calculated at the calculating.

9. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1, wherein

the acquiring includes acquiring tag data read by a radio integrated-circuit tag provided on other vehicle, and

the judging includes judging the adequacy of the driving condition based on whether the tag data is read by the radio integrated-circuit tag provided on the other vehicle.

10. A method of assisting a training of driving a vehicle, comprising:

first storing including storing a driving definition that is defined using tag data of a plurality of radio integrated-circuit tags installed in a driving area of the vehicle, the driving definition indicating at least one of an adequate driving condition and an inadequate driving condition for the vehicle;

acquiring tag data read by a radio integrated-circuit tag reading device provided in the vehicle from the radio integrated-circuit tags with a driving of the vehicle;

second storing including storing the tag data acquired at the acquiring in a predetermined storage unit; and

judging an adequacy of a driving condition of the vehicle by comparing the tag data stored at the second storing with the driving definition stored at the first storing.

11. An apparatus for assisting a training of driving a vehicle, comprising:

a first storing unit that stores therein a driving definition that is defined using tag data of a plurality of radio integrated-circuit tags installed in a driving area of the vehicle, the driving definition indicating at least one of an adequate driving condition and an inadequate driving condition for the vehicle;

an acquiring unit that acquires tag data read by a radio integrated-circuit tag reading device provided in the vehicle from the radio integrated-circuit tags with a driving of the vehicle;

a second storing unit that stores the tag data acquired by the acquiring unit in a predetermined storage unit; and

a judging unit that judges an adequacy of a driving condition of the vehicle by comparing the tag data stored in the second storing unit with the driving definition stored in the predetermined storage unit.
