Abstract

A driving evaluation system includes: a driving information acquisition unit that acquires driving information related to driving of a driver of a vehicle; a driving evaluation calculation unit that calculates a driving evaluation result obtained by evaluating the driving of the driver based on the driving information acquired by the driving information acquisition unit; a timing determination unit that determines a timing at which the driving evaluation result is output for each output destination; and an evaluation result output unit that outputs the driving evaluation result at the timing determined by the timing determination unit.

Claims

1. A driving evaluation system, comprising:

a driving information acquisition unit that acquires driving information related to driving of a driver of a vehicle;

a driving evaluation calculation unit that calculates a driving evaluation result obtained by evaluating the driving of the driver based on the driving information acquired by the driving information acquisition unit;

a timing determination unit that determines a timing at which the driving evaluation result is output for each output destination; and

an evaluation result output unit that outputs the driving evaluation result at the timing determined by the timing determination unit.

2. The driving evaluation system according to claim 1,

wherein the timing determination unit determines a frequency at which the driving evaluation result is output based on whether or not the driving evaluation result exceeds a reference.

3. The driving evaluation system according to claim 2,

wherein, in a case where the driving evaluation result is higher than a past driving evaluation result, the timing determination unit increases the frequency as compared with a case where the driving evaluation result is lower than the past driving evaluation result.

4. The driving evaluation system according to claim 2, further comprising:

a response acquisition unit that acquires a response to the output driving evaluation result,

wherein, in a case where the response is not acquired, the timing determination unit increases the frequency as compared with a case where the response is present.

5. The driving evaluation system according to claim 1,

wherein the timing determination unit causes a first frequency at which the driving evaluation result is output to the driver of the vehicle and a second frequency at which the driving evaluation result is output to an output destination different from the driver of the vehicle to be different from each other.

6. The driving evaluation system according to claim 5,

wherein the timing determination unit increases the first frequency to be higher than the second frequency.

7. A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium comprising a program that causes a computer to:

acquire driving information related to driving of a driver of a vehicle;

calculate a driving evaluation result obtained by evaluating the driving of the driver based on the acquired driving information;

determine a timing at which the driving evaluation result is output for each output destination; and

output the driving evaluation result at the determined timing.
