First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining a driver'"'"'s driving skill of a vehicle, said method comprising:
- determining whether the vehicle is in a curve-handling maneuver on a curve;
determining a lateral deviation of the vehicle from a center of the curve;
determining the smoothness of a steering control of the vehicle during the curve-handling maneuver;
determining the smoothness of a speed control of the vehicle during the curve-handling maneuver; and
classifying the driver'"'"'s driving skill based on the lateral deviation from the center of the curve, the smoothness of the steering control and the smoothness of the speed control.

Abstract
A system and method that classifies a driver'"'"'s driving skill based on curve-handling maneuvers. The curve-handling maneuvers can be identified based on the drivers steering activity, vehicle yaw motion and a change in the vehicle heading direction.

10. A method for determining a driver'"'"'s driving skill of a vehicle, said method comprising:
-
determining whether the vehicle is in a curve-handling maneuver on a curve; determining a lateral deviation of the vehicle from a center of the curve; determining the smoothness of a steering control of the vehicle during the curve-handling maneuver by employing frequency-domain analysis techniques to determine damping characteristics of the vehicle steering and the number of magnitude of corrections in a driver'"'"'s steering input; and classifying the driver'"'"'s driving skill based on the lateral deviation from the center of the curve and the smoothness of the steering control. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
