 ABSTRACT

This report presents the development of an Intelligent Driver Review System designed to dynam-
ically suggest optimal routes based on real-time traffic conditions and monitor driver behavior
to ensure passenger comfort and safety. The system utilizes raw GPS data to plot paths and
employs a traffic algorithm to estimate traffic probabilities for each route. Dijkstra’s Algorithm
is then used to determine the shortest path. Additionally, data from brake and accelerator pedal
usage is collected for each trip. An overall benchmark is established for driver performance, and
ratings are provided based on this data, reflecting the quality of driving relative to the bench-
mark. These reviews are valuable for enhancing passenger safety and comfort in ride-hailing
services, informing the insurance industry, and aiding in driving license tests. Dijkstra’s Algo-
rithm, a graph search algorithm, finds the shortest path from a source node to a target node by
exploring nodes in order of increasing distance from the source.

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced world, efficient and safe transportation is crucial, especially in urban en-
vironments where traffic congestion and unpredictable driving behaviors can significantly affect
travel times and passenger comfort. Addressing this challenge, this project seeks to develop
an intelligent driver review system that dynamically recommends optimal routes based on real-
time traffic conditions while continuously monitoring driver behavior to ensure passenger comfort
and safety. By integrating advanced technologies such as GPS tracking, real-time traffic data,
machine learning, and adaptive comfort models, the system aims to enhance the navigation
experience for both drivers and passengers.

1.1 Motivation
The motivation behind developing an Intelligent Driver Review System stems from the increasing
reliance on ride-hailing services in today’s urban landscape. With over 3.2 billion trips in
2023 and a projected 15% increase by 2025, the demand for efficient, safe, and comfortable
transportation solutions is at an all-time high. This surge in ride-hailing usage brings significant
challenges, including traffic congestion, unpredictable road conditions, and inconsistent driver
behaviors, which directly impact passenger satisfaction and safety.
Statistics highlight that over 80% of passengers prioritize safety and comfort, and nearly 70%
consider route efficiency crucial when selecting ride-hailing services. Despite these preferences,
many passengers still experience discomfort due to abrupt accelerations, harsh braking, and un-
familiar routes. Addressing these issues is vital for improving the overall ride-hailing experience
and ensuring customer retention.

1.2 Objectives
• Develop an algorithm to determine the shortest and least congested routes between spec-
ified start and destination points.

• Integrate a comprehensive dataset to analyze driver behavior, focusing on factors such as

hard accelerations and sharp turns.

• Implement real-time monitoring of driver actions to ensure compliance with suggested

routes and adherence to passenger comfort thresholds.

• Create a comprehensive review system to provide feedback to drivers based on their route
selections and driving behavior.

1.3 Literature survey
In the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems and driver analysis, three pivotal research
papers offer substantial methodologies and insights that significantly contribute to improving
driver safety, efficiency, and comprehensive accident analysis. The first paper, ”Machine Learn-
ing Algorithm for Driver Rating” (2022), explores the utilization of smartphone sensors such as
gyroscopes and accelerometers to detect driving events and analyze facial expressions. It intro-
duces a machine learning algorithm that evaluates driver behavior by analyzing data on speed
changes, braking, horn usage, gear changes, and steering angles. This algorithm uses a dataset
of driving parameters to accurately rate drivers based on their habits and decisions, aiming to
enhance driver monitoring, disciplinary actions, and incentive programs.
The second paper, ”Advanced Vehicle Telematics Analysis for Enhanced Safety and Ef-
ficiency” (2019), highlights the role of vehicle telematics in improving transportation safety,
efficiency, and sustainability. By analyzing data from accelerometers, GPS, and engine diag-
nostics, it examines driver behavior, fuel efficiency, and gear detection. Techniques like Kernel
Density Estimation and Jenks Natural Breaks are employed to visualize gear ratios and shift
points, optimizing engine performance and fuel efficiency. Key findings indicate that maintain-
ing moderate engine loads and avoiding excessive RPMs enhance fuel efficiency, while optimal
highway speeds reduce carbon emissions. The study offers strategies for detecting gear shifts
and promoting safer and more efficient driving practices.
The third paper, ”Integrating Multi-Source Data and Advanced Analytics for Comprehensive
Traffic Accident Analysis: Insights from the Trafficalmr Project” (2022), integrates data from
traffic accident reports, sensor data, and geographic information systems (GIS) to analyze traffic
accident patterns comprehensively. It employs statistical and machine learning models, including
Generalized Linear Models (GLMs), Kernel Density Estimation (KDE), and clustering methods
like K-means. Machine learning models such as Random Forests and Support Vector Machines
(SVMs) are used for feature importance analysis and classification tasks. The project also
utilizes time series analysis to forecast accident rates and visualize data intersections with UpSet
plots. The findings reveal detailed insights into cycling activity patterns, accident hotspots, and
the effectiveness of safety interventions, informing future infrastructure planning and safety
measures.
These studies collectively provide robust methodologies for leveraging sensor data, machine
learning algorithms, and advanced analytics to enhance driver safety, efficiency, and traffic ac-
cident analysis. Their contributions are instrumental in developing smarter, safer, and more
efficient transportation systems.

Implementation details
In this chapter,The implementation details involves using real-time driver behaviour data and current
conditions to estimate traffic levels on various routes.

3.1 Specifications of Proposed Model

The GPS navigation system with route optimization and passenger comfort adjustment incor-
porates several sophisticated components and algorithms. It collects raw GPS data, including
latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, direction, and timestamps in real-time. For data processing
and mapping, the system uses Geographic Information System (GIS) to initialize and render
the map, converting raw GPS data into visual paths. Traffic management integrates a dynamic
probability traffic algorithm to predict traffic conditions and optimize routes, adjusting proba-
bilities based on real-time and historical data. Route optimization employs Dijkstra’s algorithm
to find the shortest path between two points, considering constraints like one-way streets and

3.3 Proposed Model for Driver review and route op-
timisation

The proposed model is designed to enhance the efficiency and safety of vehicular navigation
through a systematic approach leveraging GPS data and advanced algorithms. The model
begins by loading GPS data and initializing a detailed map of the area of interest, allowing
for accurate path plotting based on the GPS coordinates. It then integrates real-time traffic
data, optimizing the path using a sophisticated traffic algorithm to ensure minimal congestion.
To determine the most efficient route, Dijkstra’s algorithm is employed, which calculates the
shortest path while considering traffic conditions. Additionally, the model includes a component
for detecting hard acceleration events by analyzing accelerometer data, identifying potential
risky driving behaviors. The collected data is processed to generate a composite score for each
driver, incorporating factors such as path optimization and driving events, and producing a
comprehensive driver rating. This rating is displayed alongside the optimized path, providing
a clear overview of the journey and driving performance. The combination of these elements
results in a robust system that not only improves route planning but also promotes safer driving
practices.

Results and discussions
In this chapter, The system effectively optimizes routes, reduced travel times, and improved driver performance,
enhancing both passenger safety and comfort.

4.1 Datasets
The dataset for this project consists of telematics data collected from real-world driving sce-
narios. Encompassing 86 trips across a four-month period from approximately 30 four-wheeled
vehicles, the data offers insights into vehicle dynamics and driver behavior. It includes essential
parameters like trip ID, device ID, timestamps, accelerometer readings (x, y, and z axes), GPS-
derived speed, fuel efficiency, mass airflow, engine RPM, throttle position, magnetometer data,
