Evaluation of Driver's Pre-Driving Skill on a Driving Simulator Using the Intelligent Dynamic Event Classifier (IDEA) Approach

This paper reports the early results of the evaluation of driver's pre-driving skill on a driving simulator using the Intelligent Dynamic Event Analyzer approach. The IDEA Evaluator module, developed as an out-of-process Component Object Model ActiveX-Exe, is integrated into the ASISTM driving simulator to monitor drivers action during pre-driving activities. Fundamental actions detected from ASISTM simulator are fed to the Intelligent Dynamic Event Analyzer evaluator module and the result (Correct / Incorrect) is returned back to ASISTM. The integrated system was observed to be able to successfully evaluate the driver activities. The whole process is executed online utilizing ASISTM driving simulator module.
