Title
Driving Behavior Assessment and Anomaly Detection for Intelligent Vehicles
Abstract
Ensuring safety of both traffic participants and passengers is an important challenge for rapidly growing autonomous vehicle technology. To this purpose, intelligent vehicles not only have to drive safe but must be able to safeguard itself from other abnormally driving vehicles and avoid potential collisions. Anomaly detection is one of the essential abilities in behavior analysis, which can be used to infer the moving intention of other vehicles and provide evidence for collision risk assessment. In this paper, we propose a behavior analysis method based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to assess the driving behavior of vehicles on the road and detect anomalous moments. The algorithm uses the real-time velocity and position of the surrounding vehicles provided by the Conditional Monte Carlo Dense Occupancy Tracker (CMCDOT) framework. Next, by associating with the road information, the movement of each vehicle can be classified into several observation states, namely, Approaching, Braking, Lane Changing, and Lane Keeping. Finally, by chaining these observation states using a Markov model, the abnormality of driving behavior can be inferred into Normal, Attention, and Risk. We perform experiments using CARLA simulator environment to simulate abnormal driving behaviors, and we provide results showing the successful detection of abnormal situations.
