DDSS: Driver decision support system based on the driver behaviour prediction to avoid accidents in intelligent transport system

Abstract

Accidents caused by drivers who exhibit unusual behavior are putting road safety at ever-greater risk. When one or more vehicle nodes behave in this way, it can put other nodes in danger and result in potentially catastrophic accidents. In order to anticipate and handle unusual driving behavior in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), this research presents a unique Driver Decision Support System (DDSS). A reliable driving behavior prediction system is used by the suggested DDSS to categorize drivers as displaying normal or abnormal behavior. In order to prevent accidents in ITS scenarios, the system reliably detects anomalous driving patterns and advises nearby vehicles to change lanes or alter speed. The driver behavior prediction algorithm efficiently groups drivers into behavior categories using the K-Means clustering method. In order to evaluate the algorithm's efficacy, a comparative analysis is conducted by comparing its outcomes against those of Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Decision Trees, K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), Logistic Regression, and Naïve Bayes. The integration of the Driver Decision Support System into the Intelligent Transportation System infrastructure serves to augment endeavours in accident prevention. Monitoring and analysis of driver behavior enable timely interventions, promoting safer driving practices and reducing accident risks. This research helps to create a more effective transportation system by reducing the number of accidents brought on by reckless driving. Because of its novel method to anticipating and controlling driver behavior, the proposed DDSS has promise for improving road safety and preventing accidents. The efficacy and the dependability of the driver behavior prediction algorithm are confirmed by the experimental assessment.
