ADAPTIVE VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM WITH DRIVING STYLE RECOGNITION BASED ON TRAFFIC SENSING

摘要

An adaptive vehicle control system that classifies a driver's driving style based on characteristic maneuvers and road and traffic conditions. The system includes a plurality of vehicle sensors that detect various vehicle parameters. A maneuver identification processor receives the sensor signals to identify a characteristic maneuver of the vehicle and provides a maneuver identifier signal of the maneuver. The system also includes a traffic condition recognition processor that receives the sensor signals, and provides traffic condition signals identifying traffic conditions. A style characterization processor receives the maneuver identifier signals, sensor signals from the vehicle sensors and the traffic condition signals, and classifies driving style based on the signals to classify the style of the driver driving the vehicle.
