Download or read book Sensing Vehicle Conditions for Detecting Driving Behaviors written by Jiadi Yu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-18 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SpringerBrief begins by introducing the concept of smartphone sensing and summarizing the main tasks of applying smartphone sensing in vehicles. Chapter 2 describes the vehicle dynamics sensing model that exploits the raw data of motion sensors (i.e., accelerometer and gyroscope) to give the dynamic of vehicles, including stopping, turning, changing lanes, driving on uneven road, etc. Chapter 3 detects the abnormal driving behaviors based on sensing vehicle dynamics. Specifically, this brief proposes a machine learning-based fine-grained abnormal driving behavior detection and identification system, D3, to perform real-time high-accurate abnormal driving behaviors monitoring using the built-in motion sensors in smartphones. As more vehicles taking part in the transportation system in recent years, driving or taking vehicles have become an inseparable part of our daily life. However, increasing vehicles on the roads bring more traffic issues including crashes and congestions, which make it necessary to sense vehicle dynamics and detect driving behaviors for drivers. For example, sensing lane information of vehicles in real time can be assisted with the navigators to avoid unnecessary detours, and acquiring instant vehicle speed is desirable to many important vehicular applications. Moreover, if the driving behaviors of drivers, like inattentive and drunk driver, can be detected and warned in time, a large part of traffic accidents can be prevented. However, for sensing vehicle dynamics and detecting driving behaviors, traditional approaches are grounded on the built-in infrastructure in vehicles such as infrared sensors and radars, or additional hardware like EEG devices and alcohol sensors, which involves high cost. The authors illustrate that smartphone sensing technology, which involves sensors embedded in smartphones (including the accelerometer, gyroscope, speaker, microphone, etc.), can be applied in sensing vehicle dynamics and driving behaviors. Chapter 4 exploits the feasibility to recognize abnormal driving events of drivers at early stage. Specifically, the authors develop an Early Recognition system, ER, which recognize inattentive driving events at an early stage and alert drivers timely leveraging built-in audio devices on smartphones. An overview of the state-of-the-art research is presented in chapter 5. Finally, the conclusions and future directions are provided in Chapter 6.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drivers' "illegal maneuver" and "unsafe behavior" contribute to a large number of traffic accidents every year, which are now receiving great attention from both government regulators and car manufacturers. Indeed, many research efforts have been dedicated to understanding and recognizing dangerous driving conditions to prevent crashes and injuries. In addition to the features that are already installed in the vehicles, enhancing driving safety via mobile sensing techniques (e.g., smartphones and wearables) is becoming increasingly successful with the deep penetration of smart computing. The mobile device today is equipped with numerous sensors, which has become a very effective platform to facilitate various safety applications. In this thesis, we leverage off-the-shelf mobile sensing platforms (i.e., smartphones and wrist-worn devices) to detect and analyze dangerous driving events. Our purpose is to use real-time alerts and long-term feedbacks to increase drivers' awareness of dangerous behaviors, which could help them shape good driving habits and promote safety. Specifically, two studies are presented: 1. SafeCam - analyzing intersection-related driver behaviors using smartphone sensors, and 2. SafeDrive - monitoring distracted driving behaviors using wrist-worn devices (e.g., smartwatch). The first study focuses on the intersection safety which is a critical issue in current roadway systems. In the United States, nearly one-quarter of traffic fatalities and half of all traffic injuries are attributed to intersections. We design SafeCam that uses embedded sensors (i.e., inertial sensors and cameras) on the smartphone to track vehicle dynamics while at the same time adopts computer vision algorithms to recognize traffic control information (e.g., traffic lights and stop signs). The system is able to detect dangerous driving events not only on roads but also at intersections including speeding, lane waving, unsafe turns, running stop signs and running red lights. Our second study addresses the distracted driving problem that has been considered as a major threat to the traffic safety. It is estimated that roughly 30% of vehicle fatalities involve distracted drivers, which cause thousands of injuries and deaths every year in the United States. SafeDrive is a driving safety system that leverages the wrist-worn (i.e.,smartwatch) sensors to prevent driver distractions. By tracking driver's hand motion and utilizing machine learning algorithms, SafeDrive can detect five most common distracting activities including fiddling with the control (e.g., infotainment systems), drinking/eating, using smartphones, searching items at the passenger side and reaching back seats. In the evaluation, we conduct extensive real-road experiments using different types of vehicles (e.g., sedan, minivan, and SUV) and recruiting multiple participants (15 for SafeCam and 20 for SafeDrive). The experiment results demonstrate that both SafeCam and SafeDrive are robust to real-driving environments, which could detect critical driving events and have great potential to educate drivers on how to safely operate the vehicle." --

Download or read book Modeling of Driver Behavior in Real World Scenarios Using Multiple Noninvasive Sensors written by Nanxiang Li and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the development of new in-vehicle technology, drivers are exposed to more sources of distractions, which can lead to unintentional accidents. Monitoring the driver attention level has become a relevant research problem. Many studies aim to understand the driver behavior using measurements from different perspectives, such as driving task performance, secondary task performance and driver physiology signal. Although these studies provide important characteristics about driver distractions, there are open challenges that remain to be addressed. First, there is no standard for quantifying the driver distraction level in either absolute or relative terms. Defining a reliable driver distraction metric is important to train machine learning algorithms that predict driver distractions. To address this question, we propose to use human perception to measure the perceived distraction levels across different types of distractions (e.g. visual and cognitive). In the visual-cognitive distraction space, we define distraction modes to represent the driver distraction level using data driven approaches. This representation provides a more comprehensive description of the detrimental effects caused by secondary tasks. It provides an ideal framework to analyze the effects of future in-vehicle systems on driver behaviors. Second, most of the previous studies have largely relied on driving simulators. Instead, we consider real-world driving scenarios on real roads. We use multimodal features extracted from various noninvasive sensors including the controller area network-bus (CAN-Bus), video cameras and microphone arrays. By applying different machine learning techniques, including binary classification, multiclass classification and regression models, we build models to track driver's attention level, detect driver distraction, and identify multi-modal discriminative features to capture distracted driver behaviors. Finally, we explore the detection of contextual information about the driver and the road to enhance the proposed driver attention model. In particular, we focus on detecting mirror check actions and detection of frontal vehicles. This contextual information can inform the in-vehicle safety system whether the drivers appropriately respond to the driving tasks required by the road conditions. In addition, we also develop a user-independent calibration free gaze estimation model, which is closely related to the driver visual/cognitive distraction estimation.

This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are approximately 4,000 fatalities in crashes involving trucks and buses in the United States each year. Though estimates are wide-ranging, possibly 10 to 20 percent of these crashes might have involved fatigued drivers. The stresses associated with their particular jobs (irregular schedules, etc.) and the lifestyle that many truck and bus drivers lead, puts them at substantial risk for insufficient sleep and for developing short- and long-term health problems. Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Fatigue, Long-Term Health and Highway Safety assesses the state of knowledge about the relationship of such factors as hours of driving, hours on duty, and periods of rest to the fatigue experienced by truck and bus drivers while driving and the implications for the safe operation of their vehicles. This report evaluates the relationship of these factors to drivers' health over the longer term, and identifies improvements in data and research methods that can lead to better understanding in both areas.
