Extraction of Naturalistic Driving Patterns with Geographic Information Systems

Abstract

A better understanding of Driving Patterns and their relationship with geographical driving areas could bring great benefits for smart cities, including the identification of good driving practices for saving fuel and reducing carbon emissions and accidents. The process of extracting driving patterns can be challenging due to issues such as the collection of valid data, clustering of population groups, and definition of similar behaviors. Naturalistic Driving methods provide a solution by allowing the collection of exhaustive datasets in quantitative and qualitative terms. However, exploiting and analyzing these datasets is complex and resource-intensive. Moreover, most of the previous studies, have constrained the great potential of naturalistic driving datasets to very specific situations, events, and/or road sections. In this paper, we propose a novel methodology for extracting driving patterns from naturalistic driving data, even from small population samples. We use Geographic Information Systems (GIS), so we can evaluate drivers’ behavior and reactions to certain events or road sections, and compare across situations using different spatial scales. To that end, we analyze some kinematic parameters such as speeds, acceleration, braking, and other forces that define a driving attitude. Our method favors an adequate mapping of complete datasets enabling us to achieve a comprehensive perspective of driving performance.

An Integrated Multi Criteria Decision Making Model for Evaluating Park-and-Ride Facility Location Issue: A Case Study for Cuenca City in Ecuador

“…Establishing a P&R system in the urban environment of a city leads to a set of criteria that are part of the operation of the P&R system, such as the capacity that refers to the number of necessary parking places spaces that can be installed in the P&R system. Moreover, since the P&R system involves public transportation parameters such as demand, accessibility, frequency, and travel times of public transportation, these criteria are also taken into consideration [23][24][25][26][27]. Besides, when involving private vehicles, criteria such as traffic, travel time, and pollution are taken into account [28][29][30][31][32].…”

Mode Choice Modeling to Shift Car Travelers towards Park and Ride Service in the City Centre of Karachi

“…Moreover, the productive use of cars relies on the travelers' lifestyle, social and spatial engagements [28]. Certain car travelers cannot often drive without need but in addition to their preference [29][30][31]. Such strategies may involve advancement in the public transportation system and attract them to sustainable modes, for instance, cycling or walking.…”

Deep Transfer Learning Based Intersection Trajectory Movement Classification for Big Connected Vehicle Data
