Predicting Driver Intention Using Deep Neural Network

Abstract

To improve driving safety and avoid car accidents, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are given significant attention. Recent studies have focused on predicting driver intention as a key part of these systems. In this study, we proposed new framework in which 4 inputs are employed to anticipate diver maneuver using Brain4Cars dataset and the maneuver prediction is achieved from 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 seconds before the actual action occurs. We evaluated our framework in three scenarios: using only 1) inside view 2) outside view and 3) both inside and outside view. We divided the dataset into training, validation and test sets, also K-fold cross validation is utilized. Compared with state-of-the-art studies, our architecture is faster and achieved higher performance in second and third scenario. Accuracy, precision, recall and f1-score as evaluation metrics were utilized and the result of 82.41%, 82.28%, 82,42% and 82.24% for outside view and 98.90%, 98.96%, 98.90% and 98.88% for both inside and outside view were gained, respectively.
