1. A driving evaluation apparatus comprising:
- an input information storing unit that stores, as input information in time sequence based on an instruction, the input information including (i) travel information of a target vehicle, and (ii) driving operation information of a driver of the target vehicle;
a reference information storing unit that stores reference information in time sequence, the reference information including (i) travel information of a reference vehicle, and (ii) driving operation information of a driver of the reference vehicle;
a display unit that includes a plurality of pixels and displays information in accordance with states of the pixels; and
a control unit thatoutputs a start instruction and an end instruction of input of the travel information to the input information storing unit and,displays on the display unit both a travel locus of travel positions of the target vehicle in time sequence and a travel locus of travel positions of the reference vehicle in time sequence, thereby allowing easy recognition of a deviation in a lateral direction of the target vehicle between the travel locus of the target vehicle and the travel locus of the reference vehicle, based on the input information stored in the input information storing unit and the reference information stored in the reference information storing unit, to allow a user to compare the travel positions,wherein;
when the travel locus of the target vehicle and the travel locus of the reference vehicle are displayed on the display unit, the control unit also displays the driving operations of the drivers corresponding to the travel locus of the target vehicle and the travel locus of the reference vehicle on the display unit based on the driving operation information stored in the input information storing unit and the driving operation information stored in the reference information storing unit;
the control unit simultaneously displays superimposable vehicle models corresponding to the target vehicle and the reference vehicle in positions in the display unit according to the travel positions while expressing a size of the deviation in the lateral direction of the target vehicle with respect to the reference vehicle,the vehicle models being displayed such that at least two of the vehicle models corresponding to the target vehicle and the reference vehicle are superimposed in a three-dimensional space and seen from a viewpoint position at a predetermined distance rearward of the target vehicle; and
the control unit further changes a display color of the vehicle model of the target vehicle based on whether the travel position of the target vehicle is on a right side or a left side in a travel direction with respect to the travel locus of the reference vehicle.

Abstract
Travel information of a target vehicle is stored in time sequence and, on the basis of the travel information and pre-stored travel information of a professional driver'"'"'s vehicle, a travel position of the target vehicle and a travel position of the professional driver'"'"'s vehicle are displayed in animation. In such a manner, the driver can visually recognize the travel positions of the displayed target vehicle and the reference vehicle and understand how much the target vehicle is deviated from the ideal travel position.

19. A driving evaluation apparatus for displaying on a display unit a driving evaluation of a target vehicle driven by a target driver, the apparatus comprising:
-
an input information storing unit that stores, as input information in time sequence based on an instruction, the input information including (i) travel information of the target vehicle, and (ii) driving operation information of the target driver; a reference information storing unit that stores reference information in time sequence, the reference information including (i) travel information of a reference vehicle, and (ii) driving operation information of a reference driver of the reference vehicle; and a control unit that outputs a start instruction and an end instruction of input of the travel information to the input information storing unit, and displays on the display unit (i) both a target travel locus of the target vehicle and a reference travel locus of the reference vehicle simultaneously, thereby allowing easy recognition of a deviation in a lateral direction of the target locus against the reference locus based on the stored travel information of the target vehicle and the reference vehicle, (ii) both driving operations of the target driver corresponding to the target travel locus and driving operations of the reference driver based on the stored driving operation information of the target driver and the reference driver, and (iii) superimposable vehicle models corresponding to the target vehicle and the reference vehicle in positions in the display unit according to certain travel positions, the vehicle models being displayed such that at least two of the vehicle models corresponding to the target vehicle and the reference vehicle are superimposed in a three-dimensional space and seen from a viewpoint position at a predetermined distance rearward of the target vehicle, the control unit being further configured to express a size of the deviation in the lateral direction between the target vehicle and the reference vehicle when the superimposable vehicle modes are displayed while changing a display color of the vehicle model of the target vehicle based on whether the travel position of the target vehicle is on a right side or a left side in a travel direction with respect to the travel locus of the reference vehicle.
