Driving Behavior Safety Assessment in Edge Computing Using Multitask Discriminative TS Fuzzy Model

Driving behavior safety analysis in edge computing involves the real-time collection and processing of vehicle driving data. Fuzzy models have advantages in analyzing driving behavior due to their excellent ability to handle uncertain information. This study develops a multitask discriminative Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model (MD-TS-FM) for driving behavior safety assessment. To comprehensively analyze the correlation and differences in multitask driving behaviors, the designed consequent part consists of two parts: task-shared part reflects the shared intrinsic structure information that are consistent across different driving tasks, and task-specific part reflects distinct characteristics and variations specific to each task, allowing the model to address the unique aspects of different driving behaviors. Accordingly, the task-shared consequent part is characterized by low-rank property, which mines global structural information within the fuzzy space; whereas the task-specific consequent part exhibits sparsity, which removes non-discriminative and irrelevant information. This sparsity ensures that the model focuses on the most critical features for each specific task. Furthermore, a discriminative diversity term is introduced to enhance the diversity between tasks, which explores the consistent information of task-shared consequents while reducing the overlap of task-specific consequents. Experimental results indicate that the MD-TS-FM model can be effectively applied to driving behavior safety assessment.
