Safe-D: Safety through Disruption

Identifying Deviations from Normal Driving Behavior

 

Abstract

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have significantly improved safety on today’s roadways but their impact may be limited by driver errors. Understanding and identifying these driver errors will require the integration of multi-domain datasets through predictive modeling and data integration approaches. The goals of this project are to identify relevant datasets for ADAS error prediction, evaluate modeling approaches for predicting driver errors during ADAS use, and developing models to proactively predict driver errors. Results from the project will be used to guide data collection system design at automakers and develop predictive modeling benchmarks.

Project Highlights

  • The project resulted in the validation of modeling techniques for predicting driver behaviors.
  • The project provided direct training to a PhD level student and resulted in a TRB conference presentation.
