PublicationDriver Identification via the Steering Wheel( 2019-09-09)
;Liu, Shu ;Barata, Filipe ;Ryder, BenjaminDriver identification has emerged as a vital research field, where both practitioners and researchers investigate the potential of driver identification to enable a personalized driving experience. Within recent years, a selection of studies have reported that individuals could be perfectly identified based on their driving behavior under controlled conditions. However, research investigating the potential of driver identification under naturalistic conditions claim accuracies only marginally higher than random guess. The paper at hand provides a comprehensive summary of the recent work, highlighting the main discrepancies in the design of the machine learning approaches, primarily the window length parameter that was considered. Key findings further indicate that the longitudinal vehicle control information is particularly useful for driver identification, leaving the research gap on the extent to which the lateral vehicle control can be used for reliable identification. Building upon existing work, we provide a novel approach for the design of the window length parameter that provides evidence that reliable driver identification can be achieved with data limited to the steering wheel only. The results and insights in this paper are based on data collected from the largest naturalistic driving study conducted in this field. Overall, a neural network based on GRUs was found to provide better identification performance than traditional methods, increasing the prediction accuracy from under 15\% to over 65\% for 15 drivers. When leveraging the full field study dataset, comprising 72 drivers, the accuracy of identification prediction of the approach improved a random guess approach by a factor of 25.Type: journal articleJournal: arXiv -

PublicationA Crowd Sensing Approach to Video Classification of Traffic Accident HotspotsDespite various initiatives over the recent years, the number of traffic accidents has been steadily increasing and has reached over 1.2 million fatalities per year world wide. Recent research has highlighted the positive effects that come from educating drivers about accident hotspots, for example, through in-vehicle warnings of upcoming dangerous areas. Further, it has been shown that there exists a spatial correlation between to locations of heavy braking events and historical accidents. This indicates that emerging accident hotspots can be identified from a high rate of heavy braking, and countermeasures deployed in order to prevent accidents before they appear. In order to contextualize and classify historic accident hotspots and locations of current dangerous driving maneuvers, the research at hand introduces a crowd sensing system collecting vehicle and video data. This system was tested in a naturalistic driving study of 40 vehicles for two months, collecting over 140,000km of driving data and 36,000 videos of various traffic situations. The exploratory results show that through applying data mining approaches it is possible to describe these situations and determine information regarding the involved traffic participants, main causes and location features. This enables accurate insights into the road network, and can help inform both drivers and authorities.Type: conference paperJournal: Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)Volume: 14

PublicationFOSTERING PRO-ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOR WITH GREEN CONSUMER IS: THE EFFECTS OF IS-INDUCED CONSTRUAL AND GENERAL IS USAGE MOTIVATIONSIn the context of the environmental challenges we are facing, technology is often seen as both a cause of and a potential remedy for humanity’s environmental impact. Green consumer infor-mation systems (IS) have shown to be powerful in promoting individuals’ pro-environmental be-havior. Yet, there is little knowledge about the mechanisms of how information systems lead to a sustainable change in behavior for the good. To fill this gap, we propose an experiment on the basis of a research model that sheds light on two critical aspects of how green consumer IS af-fects pro-environmental behavior: First, green consumer IS may be used to induce higher-level construals that foster superordinate determinants of pro-environmental behavior by displaying rather abstract than concrete information. Second, we analyze the direct and indirect role of technology adoption as a means to motivate pro-environmental behavior. To test our hypothe-ses, we propose an online experiment on eco-driving feedback and present first drafts of stimuli. Implications for consumer IS theory as well as for practice regarding feedback design are dis-cussed.Type: conference paper

PublicationTowards the Design of Eco-Driving Feedback Information Systems – A Literature Review(Universitätsverlag, 2016-03-10)
;Nissen, Volker ;Stelzer, Dirk ;Straßburger, SteffenFischer, DanielRoad transportation contributes to about 17% of worldwide CO2-emissions, thereby accounting heavily for the still accelerating climate change. Eco-efficient driver behavior is a cost efficient, yet powerful means to significantly decrease emissions from road transportation. Using feedback IS in the car to support and promote drivers towards a less fuel consuming driving style has shown to be effective in a variety of studies. However, there are many ways for designing an eco-driving feedback IS (EDFIS). What is still missing is a general design theory for EDFIS. To fill this gap we conducted a systematic literature review that covers research on EDFIS of the IS community and beyond. A detailed set of evaluation criteria gives an overview of the status quo on EDFIS research that might serve as a basis of upcoming work towards the developments of an EDFIS design theory, thus leveraging the potential contribution of eco-driving behavior for future green transportation.Type: conference paperVolume: Band 2 -
