Data-driven Semi-supervised Machine Learning with Surrogate Safety Measures for Abnormal Driving Behavior Detection

Detecting abnormal driving behavior is critical for road traffic safety and the evaluation of drivers' behavior. With the advancement of machine learning (ML) algorithms and the accumulation of naturalistic driving data, many ML models have been adopted for abnormal driving behavior detection. Most existing ML-based detectors rely on (fully)...

Multi-Level Driver Workload Prediction Using Machine Learning and Off-The-Shelf Sensors

The present study aims to add to the literature on driver workload prediction using machine learning methods. The main aim is to develop workload prediction on a multi-class basis, rather than a binary high/low distinction as often found in litearature. The presented approach relies on measures that can be obtained unobtrusively in the driving...

On Developing a Driver Identification Methodology Using In-Vehicle Data Recorders

Recently, cutting edge technologies to facilitate data collection have emerged on a large scale. One of the most prominent is the in-vehicle data recorder (IVDR). There are multiple ways to assign the IVDR's data to the different drivers who share the same vehicle. Irrespective of the level of sophistication, all of these technologies still...

Towards Real-Time, Nonintrusive Estimation of Driver Workload in a Simulated Environment

The aim of this research is to work towards building an open-source, platform-independent algorithm capable of predicting driver workload in real-time and in a non-intrusive way. To work towards a system that can also be implemented in on-road settings, we aimed at using off-the-shelf, non-intrusive sensors that could be implemented into the...
