Driving Risk Assessment Based on High-frequency, High-resolution Telematics Data
The emerging connected vehicle and Automated Driving System (ADS) as well as widely available advanced in-vehicle telematics data collection/transmitting systems produce gigantic amount of high-frequency, high-resolution driving data. These telematics data provide comprehensive information on driving style, driving environment, road condition, and vehicle condition. The telematics data has been used for a number of safety areas such as insurance pricing, teenage driving risk evaluation, and fleet safety management. The surge of ride-hailing service in the last decade provides a novel alternative mode for travelers. The ride-hailing drivers are a unique driver population with substantial operational responsibilities and the safety management is critical for the drivers. The smartphone ride-hailing app can conveniently collect kinematic information from sensors on smartphones, thus make the telematics data available for the entire driver population. Parallel to this proposed study, the research team has evaluated telematics feature in prediction crash risk for millions of ride-hailing drivers. This project will address the following main safety research questions using high-frequency, high resolution telematics data: 1) characterize the high-frequency kinematic signatures for safety critical events as well as during normal operations; 2) develop models to predict high risk drivers based on the kinematics signatures. 3) develop models to distinguish and predict crashes from normal driving scenarios based on the high frequency data. The project will contribute to connected vehicles and ADS real-time safety monitoring, NDS data analysis, hail-driving driver safety prediction, as well as fleet and driver safety management programs.
