Abstract
Driving-evaluation-apparatus evaluating driving-status of driver driving mobile-body, includes: microprocessor and memory. The microprocessor functions as: information-acquisition-unit acquiring location/travel-speed-information of mobile-body based on GPS-signals received by driver's mobile-terminal; entry-direction-calculation-unit calculating entry-direction in which mobile-body enters determination-area based on location/travel-speed-information; entry-direction-determination-unit determining whether angle formed by entry-direction and predetermined-reference-entry-direction is predetermined-angle or smaller; state-determination-unit determining whether there is stop/deceleration-state in which travel-speed is predetermined-travel-speed or lower within time-period from time-point when mobile-body enters determination-area to time-point when mobile-body exits determination-area based on location/travel-speed-information when angle is predetermined-angle or smaller; and driving-evaluation-unit evaluating driver's driving-status in determination-area based on determination-result. The determination-area is area inside determination-circle centered on reference-point predetermined-distance before the predetermined-location and having predetermined-radius. The angle is angle formed by: straight-line along the reference-entry-direction and passing through the reference-point; and straight-line connecting plot representing location of the mobile-body before entering inside the determination-circle based on location/travel-speed-information and the reference-point.
