DRIVING SKILL RECOGNITION BASED ON STOP-AND-GO DRIVING BEHAVIOR

摘要

A skill characterization processor classifies driver skill based stop and go maneuvers. A maneuver identification processor determines whether the vehicle is in a braking maneuver, and the system determines the vehicle longitudinal deceleration, the brake pedal position and the brake pedal rate from the brake pedal position. The skill characterization processor then classifies the driver's driving skill based on the brake pedal rate, the brake pedal position and the vehicle longitudinal deceleration generally under normal driving conditions. In one embodiment, the processor classifies driver skill by performing frequency analysis on the brake pedal rate using a discrete Fourier transform to find a frequency component of the brake pedal rate to obtain a power spectrum density.
