First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining a driver'"'"'s driving skill of a vehicle based on straight-line driving behavior, said method comprising:
- determining a lane position of the vehicle on a road;
determining a lane center deviation of the vehicle on the road;
determining a road lane width of the road;
determining a road type;
determining a drivers lane deviation in frequency components;
determining a dynamic part of a driver performance from a weighted sum of the frequency components;
determining a static part of the driver performance from a weighted sum of the frequency components;
determining a driver performance index based on the dynamic part and the static part of the driver performance; and
classifying the driver'"'"'s driving skill based on the driver performance index.

Abstract
A method for determining a driver'"'"'s driving skill of a vehicle based on straight-line driving behavior. The method can classify driver skill based on three straight-line approaches, namely, a lane-position approach, a steering characteristic approach and a traffic-environment reaction approach.

17. A method for determining a driver'"'"'s driving skill of a vehicle, said method comprising:
-
detecting one or more objects at a side of the vehicle; determining steering wheel turning rate information of a steering wheel of the vehicle; determining lane center information of whether the vehicle is traveling along a center of a vehicle lane; determining established average lane center deviation information; determining an index for a traffic environment reaction based on the steering wheel turning rate information and the lane center deviation information; determining whether a magnitude of the traffic environment reaction exceeds a predetermined threshold; and classifying driver driving skill based on the traffic environment reaction if the traffic environment reaction index exceeds the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
