Abstract

The development of intelligent connected vehicles provides refined multidimensional data and connected conditions for driving behavior research. Relevant literature suggests that drivers can be distinguished by analyzing their driving behavior disparities. However, existing studies encounter challenges, such as diminished classification accuracy, obstacles in practical implementation, and ambiguity in defining the boundaries of feature extraction methods. This study aims to establish a high-accuracy driver identity identification model with readily accessible data. Driving behavior data, including vehicle speed and three-axis acceleration, were acquired from a field driving experiment involving 20 participants, each driving for a minimum of 6 hours. Driver identification accuracy was assessed by constructing random and continuous datasets and adjusting feature extraction parameters. The K-nearest Neighbor and Convolutional Neural Network models were employed to develop the driver identification model. Evaluate results show that the test accuracy using a random dataset is significantly better than a continuous dataset. When employing the random dataset, the K-Nearest Neighbors algorithm achieved the highest identification accuracy, reaching 93.4%. Notably, within a specific range, reducing the interval of acceleration sampling frequency and incorporating data from multiple axes substantially enhances driver identification accuracy. The research outcomes may facilitate the practical application of the driver identification model.
