Driver Identification by Neural Network on Extracted Statistical Features from Smartphone Data

The future of transportation is driven by the use of artificial intelligence to improve living and transportation. This paper presents a neural network-based system for driver identification using data collected by a smartphone. This system identifies the driver automatically, reliably and in real-time without the need for facial recognition and also does not violate privacy. The system architecture consists of three modules data collection, preprocessing and identification. In the data collection module, the data of the accelerometer and gyroscope sensors are collected using a smartphone. The preprocessing module includes noise removal, data cleaning, and segmentation. In this module, lost values will be retrieved and data of stopped vehicle will be deleted. Finally, effective statistical properties are extracted from data-windows. In the identification module, machine learning algorithms are used to identify drivers' patterns. According to experiments, the best algorithm for driver identification is MLP with a maximum accuracy of 96%. This solution can be used in future transportation to develop driver-based insurance systems as well as the development of systems used to apply penalties and incentives.
