Abstract

The paper focuses on a task of stochastic modeling the driving style and its online estimation while driving. The driving style is modeled by means of a mixture model with normal and categorical components as well as a data-dependent pointer. The mixture parameters and the actual driving style are estimated with the help of a recursive algorithm under the Bayesian methodology. The main contributions of the presented approach are: (i) the online estimation of the driving style while driving, taking into account data up to the current time instant; (ii) the joint model for continuous and discrete data measured on a vehicle; (iii) the data-dependent model of the driving style conditioned by the values of fuel consumption; (iv) the use of the model both for detection of clusters according to the driving style and prediction of the fuel consumption along with other variables; and (v) the universal modeling with the help of mixtures, which allows us to use different combinations of components and pointer models as well as to specify the initialization approach suitable for the considered problem.

RESULTS of the driving style detection in real measurements and comparison with the theoretical counterparts are demonstrated.
