Clustering and Investigation of Human Driving Behavior Using Autoencoder and Risk Assessment

This paper introduces a novel methodology for evaluating human driving behavior influenced by shoe type and its impact on collision risk. While human factors, such as footwear, are recognized to affect driving safety, studies quantitively assessing the effects of shoe types on safety has been limited. To address this, we utilize an autoencoder and human-centered risk assessment algorithms to investigate human driving behavior and collision risk. Experiments were conducted in various real-world driving scenarios, involving two distinct types of shoes. The autoencoder extracts features from the driving data and enables us to analyze the effects of shoe type on driving behavior. Additionally, collision risk analysis is used to verify the validity and impact of the feature extraction results on safe driving. This study contributes to enhancing our understanding of how footwear influences driver behavior and safety. Furthermore, this methodology establishes a groundwork for future research on applying quantitative evaluations to other human factors that influence driving behavior.
