Driver identification using driving behavior signals

In this paper, we propose a driver identification method that is based on the driving behavior signals that are observed while the driver is following another vehicle. Driving behavior signals, such as the use of the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, vehicle velocity, and distance from the vehicle in front, are measured using a driving simulator. We compared the identification rate obtained using different identification models and different features. As a result, we found the nonparametric models is better than the parametric models. Also, the driver´s operation signals were found to be better than road environment signals and car behavior signals. The identification rate for thirty driver using actual vehicle driving in a city area was 73%.
