Research Progress of Dangerous Driving Behavior Recognition Methods Based on Deep Learning

In response to the rising frequency of traffic accidents and growing concerns regarding driving safety, the identification and analysis of dangerous driving behaviors have emerged as critical components in enhancing road safety. In this paper, the research progress in the recognition methods of dangerous driving behavior based on deep learning is analyzed. Firstly, the data collection methods are categorized into four types, evaluating their respective advantages, disadvantages, and applicability. While questionnaire surveys provide limited information, they are straightforward to conduct. The vehicle operation data acquisition method, being a non-contact detection, does not interfere with the driver’s activities but is susceptible to environmental factors and individual driving habits, potentially leading to inaccuracies. The recognition method based on dangerous driving behavior can be monitored in real time, though its effectiveness is constrained by lighting conditions. The precision of physiological detection depends on the quality of the equipment. Then, the collected big data are utilized to extract the features related to dangerous driving behavior. The paper mainly classifies the deep learning models employed for dangerous driving behavior recognition into three categories: Deep Belief Network (DBN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). DBN exhibits high flexibility but suffers from relatively slow processing speeds. CNN demonstrates excellent performance in image recognition, yet it may lead to information loss. RNN possesses the capability to process sequential data effectively; however, training these networks is challenging. Finally, this paper concludes with a comprehensive analysis of the application of deep learning-based dangerous driving behavior recognition methods, along with an in-depth exploration of their future development trends. As computer technology continues to advance, deep learning is progressively replacing fuzzy logic and traditional machine learning approaches as the primary tool for identifying dangerous driving behaviors.
