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 vehicle based on air quality data. Here are the key points:
- The method starts by receiving air quality data from a sensor in the vehicle.
- Based on this data, the method determines the internal state of the vehicle, which can be classified as a smoking state, an air pollution state, or a normal state.
- A driving grade range is then transmitted to a passenger terminal. This range represents an adjusted evaluation score, which is reduced by at least one level from a reference score (the highest point), if the determined internal state is the smoking state.
- The passenger terminal receives the driving grade range and provides a driving grade within that range.
- The method then determines a driver evaluation score based on the driving grade received from the passenger terminal.
- Finally, the driver evaluation score is stored in a database for further analysis.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Driver evaluation systems in vehicles
- Fleet management systems
- Insurance companies for assessing driver behavior
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a method to evaluate driver performance based on air quality data
- Allows for adjusting the evaluation score based on the internal state of the vehicle (e.g., smoking state)
- Enables monitoring and analyzing driver behavior for various purposes
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved driver evaluation accuracy by considering air quality data
- Incentivizes drivers to maintain a non-smoking environment in the vehicle
- Provides valuable data for fleet management and insurance companies to assess risk and make informed decisions.
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.
