Abstract

The overall number of traffic accidents is on the decrease, however still at high level. To reduce accidents, we propose an automated method for evaluating driving skill by measuring and analyzing safe driving behavior. Earlier, we have proposed an evaluation method HAS for safe driving skill using the sight distance generated by geometrical features of intersections. For this study, we have performed an experiment with 38 subjects on public road to confirm the effectiveness of our method and compared its results with an evaluation given by a driving instructor. As a result of experiment, correlation coefficient between the evaluation results calculated by HAS and the ones evaluated by a driving instructor is 0.71. Therefore, our measurement system shows effectiveness. In addition, we propose more understandable result presentation method that employs probability theory.
