- component separation by filter processing will be described by taking a roll rate as an example.
- the entire frequency band data of the roll rate input to the component separation unit 53 is filtered by the low pass filter and the band pass filter.
- the low-pass filter removes high frequency components higher than the threshold frequency Fc1, which is a predetermined value. Thereby, a low frequency band component is output from a low-pass filter.
- the bandpass filter removes low frequency components below the threshold frequency Fc1 and removes noise components above the threshold frequency Fc2. Thereby, a high frequency band component is output from the band pass filter. Since the frequency component equal to or higher than the threshold frequency Fc2 is a noise component, it is not related to the driver's characteristic determination.
- the time-series data of each detection value stored in the memory 51 is filtered by the low-pass filter and the band-pass filter, so that each detection value is separated into a low frequency band component and a high frequency band component.
- the threshold frequency Fc1 may be set according to characteristics to be determined. For example, when determining the characteristics of the driver, the threshold frequency Fc1 may be set so that the difference between the beginner and the advanced person is maximized. However, the threshold frequency Fc2 must be larger than the threshold frequency Fc1.

- the low frequency band of each rate separated from the threshold frequency Fc1 is interpreted as a prediction component for the driver to turn the curve. Further, the high frequency band is interpreted as a correction component corrected when the driver turns the curve.
- the average value of the integrated values per unit time of the predicted component and the corrected component of each rate in the turning section Y is calculated.
- a value obtained by dividing the obtained value corresponding to each prediction component by the value corresponding to the correction component is a stability index (S yaw , S roll, S pitch ) of the yaw rate, roll rate, and pitch rate in one turning section Y.
- the integral amount of the absolute value in the low frequency band is large and the integral amount of the absolute value in the high frequency band is small. If the operator corrects the steering wheel 5 while driving a curve, the absolute value integral amount in the high frequency band increases, and the absolute value integral amount in the low frequency band decreases accordingly. Thus, by using the ratio of the integral amount of the absolute value in the low frequency band and the integral amount of the absolute value in the high frequency band as an index, it is possible to score the characteristics of the driver who is driving the curve.
- the vehicle stability index of the motorcycle 1 is calculated by obtaining the ratio of the integral values of the absolute values of the low frequency band and the high frequency band of the yaw rate, roll rate, and pitch rate during the turning motion of the motorcycle 1 in this way. can do. Further calculates the three stability index (S yaw, S roll, S pitch) vehicle stability score S v is a weighting linear summation of.

- the low frequency band of each angle is interpreted as a prediction component for the driver to turn the curve.
- the absolute value amount in the low frequency band is large.
- the threshold frequency Fc1 used for frequency separation at each rate may use a different value for each angle.
- the average value of the integral values per unit time of the predicted component in the turning section Y is calculated for each of the steering angle, the roll angle, and the pitch or caster angle. The calculated value is set as a turning index T steer, T roll, T pitch (caster) of the steering angle, roll angle, pitch or caster angle.
- the average vehicle speed T speed in the turning section Y is calculated from the input vehicle speed in the turning section Y.
- the weighted linear sum of these three turning performance indices and average vehicle speed is calculated as the turning performance score T v .
- the turning performance score T v is output to the skill determination unit 50, the voice guidance selection unit 59, and the voice output timing determination unit 61.
- the overall characteristic evaluation unit 57 calculates the weighted linear sum of the vehicle stability score S v and the turning performance score T v to obtain the overall characteristic score G of the driver in the turning section Y.
- the overall characteristic score G is an overall evaluation of the driver's characteristics based on the vehicle stability characteristics and turning characteristics of the driver.
- the calculated total characteristic score G is output to the skill determination unit 50, the voice guidance selection unit 59, and the voice output timing determination unit 61.
- the skill determination unit 50 performs the vehicle stability score S v , the turnability score T v , and the total characteristic score G input from the vehicle stability characteristic evaluation unit 54, the turning characteristic evaluation unit 55, and the total characteristic evaluation unit 57. Whether each characteristic is “high” or “low” is determined using a predetermined threshold as a reference. An appropriate value may be arbitrarily set as a threshold value as a determination criterion, and a different value may be used for each characteristic.
