Real-time driving behavior identification based on driver-in-the-loop vehicle dynamics and control

This paper studies to characterize driver driving behavior or driver control structure in real time. The three proposed methods use some of the signals such as the driver actuation measurements, the relative ranges between a leading and a following vehicle during a car-following maneuver, and the vehicle dynamic responses such as the vehicle´s longitudinal acceleration and deceleration. All the used signals exist in various electronic control systems. Vehicle tests were conducted on a test vehicle to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods in identifying aggressive and cautious driving behaviors.
