Research and developments of intelligent driving behavior analysis

It is widely realized that a better understanding of the driving behavior will allow more appropriate road safety policies and more effective intelligent driving guidance systems to be developed, possibly reducing traffic incidents and congestions. By carefully examining the current approaches, this paper provides a brief review of four major issues in this field: longitudinal driving behavior analysis and collision avoidance, lateral driving behavior analysis and lane departure warning, complex driving ability learning and driver status (fatigue, absentmindedness etc.) analysis. The likely future direction of this research field, particularly in China, is also pointed out with a special focus on the advances.
