Driver Evaluation Management Method and Control Server Using the Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17734565 titled 'Driver Evaluation Management Method and Control Server Using the Same
Simplified Explanation
The embodiment driver evaluation method described in this patent application involves evaluating the driving performance of a driver based on air quality data collected from a sensor in the vehicle. Here are the key points:
- The control server receives air quality data from a sensor in the vehicle.
- Based on the air quality data, the control server determines the internal state of the vehicle, which can be classified as a smoking state, an air pollution state, or a normal state.
- The control server transmits a driving grade range to a passenger terminal, which includes an adjusted evaluation score that is reduced by at least one level from a reference score (highest point) if the determined internal state is the smoking state.
- The passenger terminal receives the driving grade range and provides it to the driver.
- The driver's driving performance is evaluated based on the driving grade received from the passenger terminal.
- The driver evaluation score is then stored in a database for future reference.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Fleet management: This method can be used by fleet managers to evaluate the driving performance of their drivers and identify any potential issues related to smoking or air pollution.
- Insurance companies: Insurance companies can use this method to assess the driving behavior of their policyholders and adjust insurance premiums accordingly.
- Ride-sharing platforms: Ride-sharing platforms can utilize this method to monitor the driving performance of their drivers and ensure a safe and healthy environment for passengers.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Smoking detection: This method helps in detecting smoking inside the vehicle, which can be a safety hazard and cause air pollution.
- Driver evaluation: By evaluating the driving performance, this technology allows for the identification of drivers who may need additional training or support.
- Air quality monitoring: The use of air quality data helps in monitoring the level of pollution inside the vehicle and taking necessary actions to improve it.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved safety: By discouraging smoking and promoting better air quality, this technology contributes to a safer driving environment.
- Enhanced driver performance: The evaluation of driving performance can lead to improved driving habits and overall driver performance.
- Data-driven decision making: The collection and storage of driver evaluation scores provide valuable data for analysis and decision making in various domains such as fleet management and insurance.
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment driver evaluation method performed by a control server includes receiving air quality data from a sensor in a vehicle, determining an internal state of a vehicle as a smoking state, an air pollution state, or a normal state based on the air quality data, transmitting a driving grade range to a passenger terminal, the driving grade range having an adjusted evaluation score reduced by at least one level from a reference score as a highest point in response to the determined internal state being the smoking state, determining a driver evaluation score for driving of the vehicle based on a driving grade in response to the driving grade within the driving grade range being received from the passenger terminal, and storing the driver evaluation score in a database.
