Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to develop a driving operation skill evaluation system for the safety of driving mobility scooters. In this study, two evaluation methods were created: a driving operation log (DOL) that monitors driving skills using an add-on sensor mounted on mobility scooters and an observation sheet that assess the success or failure of the driving tasks by having an accompanied observer. The test course trials are conducted for the elderly and university students, and we evaluated their driving operation skills using the DOL and observation sheet methods. After the test course, an interview or a questionnaire was provided to further assess the driving impression. This study demonstrates the complementary features of the two evaluation methods used, and evaluates the efficacy of the system by assessing the driving operation skills of an individual and risk of accidents.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果は,高齢者のシニアカー利用において,危険回避に必要な知識や技能の不足による死亡・重傷事故を予防することにつながる.このことは高齢者の安全で自由な外出を可能にし,生活の質を維持するために有意義である. さらに走行操作ログを活用することで専門的知識や技術がなくても簡易にシニアカー導入時の評価が可能になることから,限られたマンパワーの有効活用やコストの削減も可能になる.
