Characterization of the Driving Style by State–Action Semantic Plane Based on the Bayesian Nonparametric Approach

The quantification and estimation of the driving style are crucial to improve the safety on the road and the acceptance of drivers with level2–level3(L2–L3) intelligent vehicles. Previous studies have focused on identifying the difference in driving style between categories, without further consideration of the driving behavior frequency, duration proportion properties, and the transition properties between driving style and behaviors. In this paper, a novel methodology to characterize the driving style is proposed by using the State–Action semantic plane based on the Bayesian nonparametric approach, i.e., hierarchical Dirichlet process–hidden semi–Markov model (HDP–HSMM). This method segments the time series driving data into fragment clusters with similar characteristics and construct the State–Action semantic plane based on the statistical characteristics of the state and action layer to label and interpret the fragment clusters. This intuitively and simply visualizes the driving performance of individual drivers, while the risk index of the individual drivers can also be obtained through semantic plane. In addition, according to the joint mutual information maximization (JIMI) approach, seven transition probabilities of driving behaviors are extracted from the semantic plane and applied to identify driving styles of drivers. We found that the aggressive drivers prefer high–risk driving behaviors, and the total duration and frequency of high–risk behaviors are greater than those of cautious and normal drivers. The transition probabilities among high–risk driving behaviors are also greater compared with low–risk behaviors. Moreover, the transition probabilities can provide rich information about driving styles and can improve the classification accuracy of driving styles effectively. Our study has practical significance for the regulation of driving behavior and improvement of road safety and the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
