ABSTRACT:
A driver load measuring method, device, and program, and a storage medium for storing the program for accurately measuring a load on a driver driving a vehicle accompanied by attitude changes. The driver load measuring device includes a yaw rate detecting section for detecting a yaw rate y as an example of the angular velocity of a vehicle accompanied by attitude changes, a storing section for storing the results of detection of the yaw rate y, a predicting section for predicting an n-th yaw rate according to an actual [n-1]-th yaw rate y[n-1], an actual [n-2]-th yaw rate y[n-2], and an actual [n-3]-th yaw rate y[n-3] each detected previously, an error calculating section for calculating an error between a predicted result yp[n] of the n-th yaw rate and an actual n-th yaw rate y[n], a frequency distribution recording section for recording a frequency distribution of the errors e in a predetermined time period, and a cell setting section for obtaining a percentile (% tile) value α according to the above frequency distribution and setting a plurality of ranges (cells) discrete from this % tile value α at a predetermined rate.
