Performance Evaluation of Driving Behavior Identification Models through CAN-BUS Data

Modern cars can collect several hundreds of sensor data through the controller area network (CAN) bus technology that provides almost real-time information about the car, the surrounding environment, and the driver. These data can be later processed and analyzed to offer efficient solutions and insights for human behavior analysis and further applied in a variety of fields such as accident prevention, driver identification, driving models design, and vehicle energy consumption. By analyzing and identifying unique driving behavior, we can distinguish drivers, which can be helpful in driver profiling and security of the cars (anti-theft systems). In this paper, we evaluate the performance of data-driven end-to-end models designed for driving behavior identification. We present a critical analysis of the principles considered in designing the models. Moreover, various data-driven deep learning and machine learning models are implemented and the cross-validation results are presented employing the naturalistic driving dataset.
