- Patent Document 4 also discloses a lean vehicle driving data processing device that generates economic loss-related data used for services related to economic losses in response to data indicating sudden movements of the vehicle body contained in lean vehicle driving data.
- the lean vehicle driving data processing device utilizes the fact that the driver's driving skills and driving tendencies are likely to be reflected in sudden movements of the vehicle body tilting to the left and right when the lean vehicle changes course, etc.
- the lean vehicle driving data processing device described in Patent Document 4 focuses on the sudden left-right tilt of the vehicle body that is unique to lean vehicles, and thereby improves the accuracy of economic loss-related data while increasing the design freedom of hardware resources compared to the vehicle driving data processing devices described in Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a driving evaluation data output device for a lean vehicle that satisfies the following four points.
- the first point is that it can output driving evaluation data specific to a lean vehicle from a perspective different from that of the lean vehicle driving data processing device described in Patent Document 4.
- the second point is that it can be used in combination with the lean vehicle driving data processing device described in Patent Document 4.

- the fourth point is that, like the lean vehicle driving data processing device described in Patent Document 4, it can improve the design freedom of hardware resources compared to the vehicle driving data processing devices described in Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3.
- lean vehicles tilt the body to the right when turning right and tilt the body to the left when turning left. Therefore, when turning the lean vehicle left or right, the driver performs an action of leaning the lean vehicle to turn it, and an action of raising the lean vehicle after the lean vehicle has finished turning. Since the lean vehicle has smaller left-right dimensions compared to four-wheel vehicles, the driver has a high degree of freedom in selecting the left-right driving position on the road surface. Therefore, the driver's driving skill and driving tendency are easily reflected in the lean vehicle driving data when the lean vehicle is turning left or right.
- the lean vehicle driving data processing device described in Patent Document 4 focuses on the sudden left-right tilt of the vehicle body when the lean vehicle turns left or right, and generates and outputs economic loss-related data.
- the lean vehicle driving data processing device described in Patent Document 4 improves the accuracy of economic loss-related data and increases the design freedom of hardware resources compared to the vehicle driving data processing devices described in Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3.
- the left-right tilt angle of the vehicle body differs if the vehicle speed is different, even if the turning radius is the same.
- the driver can determine the left-right tilt angle of the vehicle body during turning by adjusting the balance between the centrifugal force due to the vehicle speed and the lateral force generated in the tires.
- the vehicle speed when turning left or right is one of the factors that the driver can select, so it is likely to reflect the driver's driving skill and driving tendency. Therefore, we focused on the turning radius and vehicle speed of the lean vehicle when turning left or right.
- the forces acting on the lean vehicle are as follows. Centrifugal force and gravity act on the center of gravity of the lean vehicle. Vertical reaction force and lateral force act on the contact surface of the tire. For example, when turning left, the centrifugal force acts to the right and the lateral force acts to the left with respect to the tire contact surface. For example, gravity acts downward and the vertical reaction force acts upward with respect to the tire contact surface.
- the centrifugal force and the lateral force are balanced, and the gravity and the vertical reaction force are balanced, the lean vehicle turns while leaning to the left at a predetermined angle of inclination.
- the left and right are reversed from the case described above.
- a lean vehicle can change the left-right tilt of the vehicle body by accelerating or decelerating when turning left or right. This is because accelerating increases the vehicle speed of the lean vehicle, which increases the centrifugal force. Also, decelerating decreases the vehicle speed of the lean vehicle, which decreases the centrifugal force.
- acceleration and deceleration when turning left or right are one of the factors that the driver can select, so they tend to reflect the driver's driving skill and driving tendency. Therefore, we focused on the horizontal acceleration component of the vehicle when the lean vehicle is turning left or right.
- a driving evaluation data output device for a lean vehicle may have the following configuration (1).
- the driving evaluation data output device for a lean vehicle has a memory that stores lean vehicle driving data, which is driving data of a lean vehicle, and a processor that outputs driving evaluation data including an evaluation regarding the driving of the driver of the lean vehicle based on the lean vehicle driving data stored in the memory.
- the processor may have the following configuration (a), (b), or (c) when the lean vehicle driving data includes data acquired while driving with the body of the lean vehicle tilted to the left when the lean vehicle makes a left turn and/or with the body of the lean vehicle tilted to the right when the lean vehicle makes a right turn.
- the processor outputs driving evaluation data that depends on the magnitude of the turning radius and the vehicle speed, but not on the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component, based on both the turning radius and vehicle speed of the lean vehicle when the vehicle body is tilted in the left-right direction, so that the evaluation becomes lower as the vehicle speed increases for the same turning radius regardless of the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component of the lean vehicle.
- the processor outputs driving evaluation data that depends on the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component, but not on the turning radius and vehicle speed, based on both the front-to-rear acceleration component and the left-to-right acceleration component included in the horizontal acceleration component when the vehicle body is tilted in the left-to-right direction, so that the evaluation becomes lower as the magnitude of the left-to-right acceleration component increases for the same front-to-rear acceleration component regardless of the turning radius and vehicle speed, and so that the evaluation becomes lower as the magnitude of the front-to-rear acceleration component increases for the same left-to-right acceleration component.
- the processor outputs driving evaluation data that depends on the magnitude of the turning radius and vehicle speed and on the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component, such that, based on both the turning radius and vehicle speed of the lean vehicle when the vehicle body is tilted in the left-right direction, the evaluation is lower the greater the vehicle speed for the same magnitude of turning radius regardless of the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component of the lean vehicle, and based on both the forward-rearward acceleration component and the left-right acceleration component when the vehicle body is tilted in the left-right direction, the evaluation is lower the greater the magnitude of the left-right acceleration component for the same magnitude of forward-rearward acceleration component regardless of the magnitude of the turning radius and vehicle speed, and the evaluation is lower the greater the magnitude of the forward-rearward acceleration component for the same magnitude of left-right acceleration component.
- the configurations (a), (b), and (c) are all factors that the driver can select when turning a lean vehicle to the left or right, so the driver's driving skills and driving tendencies are easily reflected. Furthermore, the configurations (a), (b), and (c) are not interdependent, so data processing can be simplified and an increase in the data processing load can be suppressed. In addition, the configurations (a) and (b) can output driving evaluation data independently of each other. Therefore, the configurations (a) and (b) can be combined as in the configuration (c). Moreover, the focus is different from the sudden movement of the vehicle body tilting in the left and right direction.
- the dependency between factors may be a linear relationship.
- the dependency between factors may be a nonlinear relationship.
- the dependency between factors may be a step-like relationship.
- Configuration (b) may be applied not only to data when a lean vehicle is turning, but also to data when the lean vehicle is running in a straight line. This allows the driving evaluation data output device for a lean vehicle to output driving evaluation data not only when the lean vehicle is turning, but also when the vehicle is running in a straight line, which contains almost no lateral acceleration components. This makes it possible to further improve the accuracy of the driving evaluation data while suppressing an increase in the load of data processing.
- the driving evaluation data output device for a lean vehicle may have the following configuration (2) in addition to the above configuration (1).
- the processor outputs driving evaluation data that depends on the direction of the forward/backward acceleration component such that, for left/right acceleration components of the same magnitude, even if the magnitudes of the forward acceleration component and the rearward acceleration component are the same, the evaluation based on the rearward acceleration component is lower than the evaluation based on the forward acceleration component.
- Configuration (2) allows the driving evaluation data to be set in more detail in accordance with the fore-aft acceleration component while maintaining simple data processing. This allows the accuracy of the driving evaluation data to be improved while improving the design freedom of hardware resources.
- the driving evaluation data output device for a lean vehicle may also include the following configuration (3).
- (3) In the case of the configuration (a), when the processor defines a region that depends on the magnitude of the turning radius and the magnitude of the vehicle speed as a dependent region such that the evaluation is lowered as the vehicle speed increases for a turning radius of the same magnitude, and defines a region that does not depend on the magnitude of the turning radius and the magnitude of the vehicle speed as an independent region, the processor outputs driving evaluation data that depends on the magnitude of the turning radius and the magnitude of the vehicle speed based on at least the data of the dependent region.
- the processor when the processor defines a region that depends on the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component as a dependent region such that the evaluation is lowered as the magnitude of the left-right acceleration component increases for a forward-backward acceleration component of the same magnitude, and the evaluation is lowered as the magnitude of the forward-backward acceleration component increases for a forward-backward acceleration component of the same magnitude, and defines a region that does not depend on the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component as an independent region, the processor outputs driving evaluation data that depends on the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component based on at least the data of the dependent region.
- the region that depends on the magnitude of the turning radius and the magnitude of the vehicle speed is defined as the first dependent region such that the evaluation is lower as the vehicle speed increases for the same magnitude of turning radius, and the region that does not depend on the magnitude of the turning radius and the magnitude of the vehicle speed is defined as the first independent region
- the region that depends on the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component is defined as the second dependent region such that the evaluation is lower as the magnitude of the left-right acceleration component is larger for the same magnitude of forward-backward acceleration component, and the evaluation is lower as the magnitude of the front-rear acceleration component is larger for the same magnitude of left-right acceleration component
- driving evaluation data that depends on the magnitude of the turning radius and the magnitude of the vehicle speed and that depends on the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component is output based on at least the data of the first dependent region and the second dependent region.
- the region of the lean vehicle driving data includes a dependent region and an independent region.
- the data in the dependent region is a region that has a high correlation with the driving evaluation data. Since the driving evaluation data is output based on at least the data in the dependent region, the accuracy of the driving evaluation data for the lean vehicle can be improved with less data. If the correlation between the driving evaluation data and the data in the independent region is low, the accuracy of the driving evaluation data can be improved with less data by excluding part or all of the data in the independent region. Note that if the accuracy of the driving evaluation data can be improved by using part or all of the data in the independent region, it may be used. The accuracy of the driving evaluation data can be improved with less data. Configuration (3) allows the amount of data used to be reduced by taking into account the correlation with the driving evaluation data, and the load on data processing to be reduced. Therefore, the accuracy of the driving evaluation data can be improved while further improving the design freedom of hardware resources.
- the driving evaluation data output device for a lean vehicle may have the following configuration (4) in addition to the configuration (1), (2), or (3).
- the processor outputs driving evaluation data that does not depend on the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component but depends on the magnitude of the turning radius and the magnitude of the vehicle speed, using a map or function that specifies the relationship with the driving evaluation data, with at least the horizontal acceleration component not being a variable but the turning radius and the vehicle speed being variables.
- the processor outputs driving evaluation data that does not depend on the magnitude of the turning radius and the vehicle speed but depends on the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component, using a map or function that specifies the relationship with the driving evaluation data, with at least the horizontal acceleration component not being a variable but the turning radius and the vehicle speed being variables.
- the driving evaluation data that depends on the magnitude of the turning radius and vehicle speed, and on the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component is output using a map or function that specifies the relationship with the driving evaluation data, with at least the turning radius and vehicle speed as variables, but not the horizontal acceleration component, and a map or function that specifies the relationship with the driving evaluation data, with at least the turning radius and vehicle speed as variables, but not the horizontal acceleration component.
- the driving evaluation data is output using a map or function that specifies the relationship between the factors, which are variables that easily reflect the driving skills and driving tendencies of the driver of the lean vehicle, and the driving evaluation data. Therefore, more accurate driving evaluation data can be output by simple data processing. Therefore, the accuracy of the driving evaluation data can be further improved while improving the design freedom of the hardware resources.
- the map and function may be set in advance using the lean vehicle driving data. In this case, the map and function may be set using machine learning or AI (Artificial Intelligence). A part of the map and function may be corrected using the lean vehicle driving data used to output the driving evaluation data.
- the map and function may be in a form that is changed by machine learning or AI using the lean vehicle driving data used to output the driving evaluation data. In this case, the load of data processing increases, but the accuracy of the driving evaluation data can be further improved.
- the driving evaluation data output device for a lean vehicle may have the following configuration (5) in addition to the configuration (1), (2), (3) or (4).
- the processor When the lean vehicle driving data includes data acquired in multiple turning scenes, the processor generates multiple primary scores when the vehicle body is tilted in the left-right direction based on the multiple lean vehicle driving data, and outputs driving evaluation data that depends on the variance of the primary scores when the vehicle body is tilted in the left-right direction, such that the driving evaluation data output is lower as the variance of the multiple primary scores increases even if the average and/or median of the multiple primary scores are the same.
- lean vehicles have smaller lateral dimensions than four-wheel vehicles, the driver has greater freedom to select the lateral driving position on the road surface.
- lean vehicles When turning left or right, lean vehicles will have different lateral inclination angles of the vehicle body if the vehicle speed is different, even if the turning radius is the same.
- lean vehicles can change the lateral inclination of the vehicle body by accelerating or decelerating. The vehicle speed and acceleration when turning left or right are factors that the driver can select. Therefore, lean vehicle driving data tends to have a larger variance in data compared to four-wheel vehicles. Therefore, the variance of the primary score when turning left or right for the lean vehicle also tends to reflect the driver's driving skills and driving tendencies.
- the driving evaluation data not only depends on factors that are variables that tend to reflect the driving skills and driving tendencies of the driver of the lean vehicle, but also on the variance of the primary score that tends to reflect the driving skills and driving tendencies of the driver.
- the driving evaluation data can more strongly reflect levels, grades, differences, and changes. Therefore, the accuracy of the driving evaluation data can be further improved.
- the generation of the primary score and the calculation of its variance are simple data processing, and an increase in the load of data processing can be suppressed. Therefore, the accuracy of the driving evaluation data can be further improved while improving the design freedom of hardware resources.
- the driving evaluation data output device for a lean vehicle may have the following configuration (6) in addition to the configuration (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5).
- the processor outputs driving evaluation data that depends on the magnitude of the turning radius and the magnitude of the vehicle speed, such that the evaluation is lowered as the variance of the magnitude of the vehicle speed increases even if the average and/or median of the magnitude of the vehicle speed is the same for the same turning radius.
- the processor outputs driving evaluation data that depends on the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component, such that the evaluation is lowered as the variance of the magnitude of the left-right acceleration component increases even if the average and/or median of the magnitude of the left-right acceleration component is the same for the same magnitude of the forward-backward acceleration component, and the evaluation is lowered as the variance of the magnitude of the forward-backward acceleration component increases for the same magnitude of the left-right acceleration component.
- the lean vehicle driving data includes data acquired in a plurality of turning scenes, and driving evaluation data is output that depends on the turning radius and the magnitude of the vehicle speed and on the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration component, such that the evaluation is lowered as the variance of the vehicle speed magnitude increases even if the average and/or median of the vehicle speed magnitude is the same for the same turning radius, the evaluation is lowered as the variance of the left-right acceleration component magnitude increases even if the average and/or median of the left-right acceleration component magnitude is the same for the same longitudinal acceleration component, and the evaluation is lowered as the variance of the left-right acceleration component magnitude increases even if the average and/or median of the left-right acceleration component magnitude is the same for the same longitudinal acceleration component.
- lean vehicles have smaller lateral dimensions than four-wheel vehicles, the driver has greater freedom to select the lateral driving position on the road surface.
- a lean vehicle When turning left or right, a lean vehicle will have a different lateral inclination angle of the vehicle body if the vehicle speed is different, even if the turning radius is the same.
- a lean vehicle can change the lateral inclination of the vehicle body by accelerating or decelerating when turning left or right.
- the vehicle speed and acceleration when turning left or right are factors that the driver can select. Therefore, lean vehicle driving data tends to have a larger variance in data compared to four-wheel vehicles. Therefore, the variance of factors that the driver can select when turning left or right with the lean vehicle also tends to reflect the driver's driving skill and driving tendency.
- the driving evaluation data depends not only on factors that are variables that tend to reflect the driving skills and driving tendencies of the driver of the lean vehicle, but also on the variance of factors that tend to reflect the driving skills and driving tendencies of the driver.
- the driving evaluation data can more strongly reflect levels, grades, differences, and changes. Therefore, the accuracy of the driving evaluation data can be further improved.
- the calculation of the variance of factors is a simple data process, and an increase in the load of data processing can be suppressed. Therefore, the accuracy of the driving evaluation data can be further improved while improving the design freedom of hardware resources.
- the variance of factors may be calculated as follows.
- it may be the variance of vehicle speeds or vehicle speed classes for the same turning radius or the same turning radius class.
