The combination of data from sensors embedded in vehicles and smartphones promises to generate great innovations in intelligent transportation systems. This article presents Driver Rating, a mobile application to evaluate the behavior of drivers based on the data gathered from vehicles´ and smartphones´ sensors. The Driver Rating application analyzes five variables (fuel consumption, carbon dioxide emission, speed, longitudinal acceleration, and transverse acceleration) to evaluate driver´s behaviors while driving. To test the Driver Rating application and identify its potentialities, an experiment was carried out on an urban environment, showing promising results regarding the classification of drivers’ behavior.

Environmental Effectiveness

Road transportation is a major fuel consumer and greenhouse gas emitter. Recently, the intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) technologies, which can improve traffic flow and safety, have been developed to reduce the fuel consumption and vehicle emissions. Emission and fuel consumption estimation models play a key role in the evaluation of ITS technologies. Based on the influence analysis of driving parameters on vehicle emissions, this paper establishes a set of mesoscopic vehicle emission and fuel consumption models using the real-world vehicle operation and emission data. The results demonstrate that these models are more appropriate to evaluate the environmental effectiveness of ITS strategies with enough estimation accuracy.

Secondary Tasks

Driving is a visual task; any driver behavior that takes the driver's visual attention from the driving environment is likely to increase the risk of a crash. Many new intelligent transportation systems telematics applications are now being installed in cars, and some of these may result in substantial degradation of visual attention. Accurately capturing driver eye glance behavior during the evaluation of these devices is critical to assessing the safety impact of engaging in secondary tasks while driving. The development of a methodology is reported; it reliably determines on-road and off-road eye glance duration by using video data collected during highway driving evaluation trials while drivers were engaged with secondary tasks. Human raters determined glance location and duration by detailed coding of the driver's eye movements on the videos. The raters agreed most of the time, but sufficient disagreement suggested that using the consensus of multiple raters significantly improved the reliability of the resulting eye glance data.

Underlying Processes

The concept of situation awareness (SA)—applied broadly over the last decade to human factors issues in aviation, nuclear power generation, and military combat systems—has only recently been introduced to the analysis of driver behavior. In a driving context, SA involves spatial, temporal, goal, and system awareness. These aspects of SA have been integrated into a goal-oriented model of driver behavior that encompasses strategic, tactical, and operational goals of driving. Maintenance of appropriate SA for each type of goal is based on three underlying processes: perception, comprehension of disparate information, and projection and prediction. The model can be used as a basis for understanding the possible impact of new generations of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) on driver performance. The model allows ITSs to be analyzed for how they are likely to enhance or impair a driver’s performance in pursuit of each type of driving goal. The model may provide a way to determine how an ITS supports or interferes with the required SA to meet a driving goal (e.g., an onboard navigation system that assists strategic decisions).
