1. A method for determining a driver'"'"'s driving skill of a vehicle, said method comprising:
- reading a vehicle speed signal and a vehicle yaw rate signal from vehicle sensors;
determining whether the vehicle has started a lane change from a first lane to a second lane as a first phase of the passing maneuver;
determining whether the lane change to the second lane has been completed as a second phase of the passing maneuver;
determining whether there has been a lane change back to the first lane to complete the passing maneuver if the passing maneuver is in the second phase as a third phase of the passing maneuver; and
classifying the driver'"'"'s driving skill using information obtained from the passing maneuver.

Abstract
A system and method that classify a driver'"'"'s driving skill based on a characteristic passing maneuver. The system reads vehicle speed and vehicle yaw rate signals and the maneuver identification processor determines whether the vehicle has made a characteristic passing maneuver. The skill characterization processor then uses the sensor information and the passing information to characterize the driver'"'"'s driving skill based on the passing maneuver.

10. A method for driver'"'"'s driving skill of a vehicle, said method comprising:
-
reading a vehicle speed signal and a vehicle yaw rate signal form vehicle sensors; determining whether the vehicle has made a passing maneuver; and classifying the driver'"'"'s driving skill based on information obtained from the passing maneuver, wherein classifying the driver'"'"'s driving skill includes using selected discriminant features derived or obtained from the passing maneuver. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for determining a driver'"'"'s driving skill of a vehicle, said system comprising:
-
vehicle sensors that provide a vehicle speed signal and a vehicle yaw rate signal; means for determining whether the vehicle has started a lane change from a first lane to a second lane as a first phase of the passing maneuver; means for determining whether the lane change to the second lane has been completed as a second phase of the passing maneuver; means for determining whether there has been a lane change back to the first lane to complete the passing maneuver if the passing maneuver is in the second phase as a third phase of the passing maneuver; and means for classifying the drivers driving skill using information obtained from the passing maneuver, wherein the means for classifying the driver'"'"'s driving skill includes means for extracting and selecting discriminant features from the passing maneuver. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
