a calculation part that compares predetermined test conditions for the running test and the pieces of actual running data to calculate a driving operation style including at least one of an accelerator operation mode, a brake operation mode, and a shift operation mode for satisfying the test conditions; and a presentation part that presents the driving operation style to the driver. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An on-road running test system comprising: an exhaust gas analyzer, control unit, or sensor; and a processor programmed to successively acquire different types of actual running data on a vehicle on which a driver performs a running test on a road, wherein data output from the exhaust gas analyzer, the control unit, or the sensor is one of the types of actual running data, compare predetermined test conditions for the running test and the types of actual running data to calculate a driving operation style including at least one of an accelerator operation mode, a brake operation mode, and a shift operation mode for satisfying the test conditions, and present the driving operation style to the driver. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The on-road running test system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further programmed to calculate a running route for satisfying the test conditions, and present the running route to the driver. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The on-road running test system according to claim 2, wherein the processor is further programmed to calculate a driving operation style or a running route for satisfying at least one of Trip Composition, Moving Averaging Window, and Standard Power Frequency among the test conditions. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The on-road running test system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further programmed to receive types of actual running data in multiple past running tests and evaluation values of the types of actual running data, and to perform machine learning of a correlation between them, and the evaluation values are based on the test conditions. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The on-road running test system according to claim 4, wherein the processor is further programmed to calculate the driving operation style on a basis of the correlation. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The on-road running test system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further programmed to, every time a running route is changed, calculate a driving operation style at a time of running on a resulting running route. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The on-road running test system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further programmed to determine a driving operation style depending on a surrounding road situation, and calculate a running route depending on a resulting driving operation style. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The on-road running test system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further programmed to output a calculation reason for a driving operation style, and to present the reason to the driver along with the driving operation style. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The on-road running test system according to claim 1, wherein the exhaust gas analyzer is a vehicle-mounted exhaust gas analyzer. ### Claim 10 A non-transitory program recording medium storing an on-road running test program instructing one or more computers to fulfill functions of: outputting exhaust gas analyzer data, control unit data, or sensor data; successively acquiring different types of actual running data on a vehicle on which a driver performs a running test on a road, wherein the exhaust gas analyzer data, the control unit data, or the sensor data is one of the types of actual running data; comparing predetermined test conditions for the running test and the types of actual running data to calculate a driving operation style including at least one of an accelerator operation mode, a brake operation mode, and a shift operation mode for satisfying the test conditions; and presenting the driving operation style to the driver. ### Claim 11 An on-road running test method comprising: outputting, by an exhaust gas analyzer, exhaust gas analyzer data, outputting, by a control unit, control unit data, or outputting, by a sensor, sensor data; successively acquiring different types of actual running data on a vehicle on which a driver performs a running test on a road, wherein the exhaust gas analyzer data, the control unit data, or the sensor data is one of the types of actual running data; comparing predetermined test conditions for the running test and the types of actual running data to calculate a direct driving operation style including at least one of an accelerator operation mode, a brake operation mode, and a shift operation mode for satisfying the test conditions; and presenting the driving operation style to the driver.
