Abstract
In Japan, elderly driver problem becomes serious as population aging advances. We have been developing an automatic evaluation system of safe driving skill using small wireless wearable sensors to directly measure drivers' behavior without giving much stress. By employing the sensors together with GPS and driving instructors' knowledge, our system can automatically point out shortcomings in driving skill with accuracy of over 80%. In Feb. 2010, Kyoto Prefecture Public Safety Commission in Japan certified our system as the first and only support tool for "legal retraining course for elderly drivers" that all elderly drivers have to take when renewing their driver licenses. In this paper, we discuss efficiency of our system through large-scale demonstrational experiment in the legal driver retraining course with 749 elderly drivers.
