Performance Monitoring System for driver with light motor vehicle (LMV) learner's license

There are many parameters on which a driver's performance should be analyzed during training phase. In the prevailing system, few important parameters are missing. A major drawback of conventional licensing method is that the licensing authority is unaware of the performance of driver during learning phase. In this paper, we present an alternative method of assessing driving skills, which will also try to cover these missing parameters. This Performance Monitoring System will continuously monitor and record the performance during learning phase; it will also help in enhancing the driving skills and can help in reducing the number of accidents which are caused by driver's mistakes. This system uses a CAN (Controller Area Network) based approach to acquire basic car parameters (Speed, Acceleration and Load) from car's OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) system. Additionally, force applied on clutch and brake will be acquired by the system using force sensors. All this acquired data will be processed to give errors and corrective measures.
