Abstract: A driver’s driving skill is a key factor for vehicle handling in risk situations. This paper presents an approach to sense the driving pattern on all likes of gear shifting, braking, speed control of the driver alongside the corresponding vehicle’s response and is assessed based on pre-defined set of guidelines for an initial period called the “Test phase”, of the driver. Then implementing the assessed results as either an increment or a decrement on a gradient scale ranging from 0 to 100, called “Score”, the driver is put into either of the two categories “Good” or “Bad”. If the driver falls into “Bad” he is instructed on his driving pattern thus providing the instructions about ways of improving his driving collectively called as “Improving phase”. Likewise if the driver falls into “Good”, the system remains in the “Test phase” until it encounters any change. Further, our system learns about the driver’s pattern throughout and uses decision making algorithms to continuously decide the phases and the actions. Thus it improves the driving skill of any person producing more skilled drivers thereby averting accidents and reduces road rush severely.
