Abstract – This study presents a comprehensive machine learn- ing approach for driver behavior classication using vehicle

telematics data from multiple diverse datasets. A robust data processing pipeline was developed to handle multi-format data sources, including intelligent trip boundary detection, dynamic user management, and comprehensive data quality control. The system addresses heterogeneous data challenges through advanced column standardization and automated data validation techniques. Multiple machine learning algorithms were systematically eval- uated. Logistic Regression achieved the best performance with 90.0% accuracy and 0.901 weighted F1-score, outperforming Support Vector Machines (86.7% accuracy), while Random Forest and XGBoost achieved 66.7% accuracy each. Analysis of model coefcients showed that speed variability, maximum RPM, acceleration variability, brake events, and RPM variability are among the most inuential predictors when distinguishing between Safe, Moderate, and Aggressive trips. The research addresses critical data quality challenges in post-trip trip-wise telematics applications while demonstrating methodological rigor through prevention of data leakage in behavioral classication models. The proposed framework establishes best practices for multi-source vehicle data integration and provides a foundation for practical driver assessment systems in eet management and usage-based insurance applications. Features used exclusively for rule-based scoring and feedback generation were explicitly excluded from machine learning training to prevent information leakage.

  1. Introduction

    Driving behaviour forms part of the denitive direction in road safety, vehicle performance, and environmental sustain- ability. Traditional driving techniques such as harsh braking, forceful acceleration, and excessive speeding not only increase the risk of accidents but also lead to higher fuel consumption and destructive mechanical wear. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 90% of trafc accidents

    can be attributed to human error, highlighting the necessity for interventions that specically target driver behaviour [1].

    Recent advancements in car telematics, on-board diagnostics (OBD-II), and Internet-of-Things (IoT) based data capture systems have made it possible to gather extensive vehicular and driver-related information [2], [3]. Nevertheless, several obstacles remain in the process of deriving actionable insights that are specic and relevant to individual drivers. One of the key limitations is data fragmentation, where essential trip metricssuch as speed, fuel consumption, engine RPM, and braking eventsare dispersed across different platforms and proprietary systems. This makes unied analysis and interpretation difcult.

    Furthermore, existing solutions often lack personalization. They do not incorporate a drivers historical behavioural patterns into feedback generation. Additionally, the high cost and infrastructure requirements of many commercial telematics platforms limit their accessibility to individual drivers, small- scale researchers, and eet operators.

    This study introduces an open-source, modular Vehicle Trip Analysis Dashboard to address these challenges using a post- trip analysis paradigm. The primary objectives of the proposed system are:

    1. To provide a framework for an interactive, web-based system where trip-level data (e.g., speed, RPM, fuel consumption, and brake patterns) can be viewed after each completed trip (post-trip) using graphical and adjustable components;
    2. To design and integrate a machine learning pipeline that uses K-Means clustering (k = 3) for unsupervised behavior discovery and multi-class Logistic Regression as the nal classier for trip-wise driving behaviour;
    3. To offer a tailored user experience including secure login, personalized trip analytics, and trend monitoring over sequential time intervals;
    4. To ensure scalability through lightweight computational requirements and open-source technologies such as Flask (backend), SQLite (data store), and Chart.js (visualiza- tion).

    The proposed system is intended to equip drivers and stakeholders with practical, actionable insights that encourage safer, more cost-effective, and environmentally responsible driving practices.

  2. Literature Review

    The analysis of driving behavior has signicantly evolved, embracing the use of telematics, on-board diagnostics (OBD- II), and a wide-scale application of machine learning (ML) techniques. This literature review explores emerging trends in the eld, characterizes major commercial platforms, and highlights current research gaps to inform this investigation.

    1. Data Collection Techniques

      Modern driving analytics relies on a variety of data sources, including Controller Area Network (CAN) bus signals, OBD-II interfaces, GPS data, and increasingly, smartphone and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors. As evidenced by Fugiglando et al. [3], CAN bus and OBD-II data provide ne-grained behavioral parameters that are effective for detecting aggressive driving. Similarly, Rizbood et al. [4] demonstrate that smartphone sensorssuch as accelerometers and GPScan yield scalable, context-rich driving signals.

    2. Machine Learning and Data Mining Approaches

      Various machine learning techniques have been utilized for driving pattern recognition. Algorithms such as Random Forests and Support Vector Machines (SVMs) remain attractive due to their interpretability and classication robustness. According to Garefalakis et al. [5], Random Forest models are particularly effective in detecting risky driving behaviors from real-world data.

      Deep learning techniques have also been explored exten- sively. Jain and Mittal [6] employed LSTM autoencoders to detect time-dependent driving behavior, while Kwon et al. [7] demonstrated high accuracy using deep CNN-LSTM networks. Unsupervised methods such as k-means clustering are instrumental in identifying driver-style archetypes from unlabeled data [3]. Additionally, reinforcement learning is increasingly used for adaptive driving policy optimization, particularly in Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle systems [9], [10].

    3. Applications in Industry and Insurance

      Commercial eet management systems like Frotcom, Geotab, and Samsara have effectively reduced fuel consumption and accident rates by integrating telematics with driver behavior scoring dashboards. For instance, Frotcom reported a 7% re- duction in fuel costs and a 70% decline in accident occurrences following dashboard implementation [13].

      Usage-Based Insurance (UBI) systems are increasingly shifting toward behavior-based risk evaluation. Arumugam

      et al. [14] highlight the incorpoation of ML-based risk scoring for real-time policy customization in the insurance industry.

    4. Ethical and Human Factors

      Recent studies have emphasized critical ethical concerns such as data privacy, informed consent, algorithmic fairness, and human-AI interaction. Research by Zylius et al. and Liao et al. underscores the necessity of collecting privacy- preserving vehicle data and designing transparent, user-friendly AI feedback systems [11], [12]. Beyond predictive accuracy, system effectiveness also hinges on driver acceptance and the context-aware delivery of system recommendations.

    5. Current Research Gaps

      Despite signicant advancements, existing systems exhibit several limitations:

      • Lack of open-source, modular, and easily extendable frameworks, restricting adoption by independent drivers, academic researchers, and small eet operators;
      • Inadequate support for interpretable, personalized driver scoring and actionable user feedback;
      • Insufcient consideration of ethical, privacy, and contex- tual adaptability concerns in commercial deployments.
  3. Methodology

    The proposed Vehicle Trip Analysis Dashboard was de- veloped using a modular and structured methodology. This approach ensures scalability, maintainability, and user-centric design. The complete pipeline encompasses architectural design, data preparation, feature engineering, model training, and interactive visual feedback.

    1. System Architecture and Modular Design

      The system is composed of loosely coupled layers, allowing independent development and testing of each module:

      • User Management: Secure registration, login, and session control using Flask-Login.
      • Trip Data Collection: Supports both real-world telematics data and synthetic trip simulation including parameters like speed, RPM, fuel, brake events, and GPS.
      • ML Model Integration: Uses K-Means clustering (k = 3) to derive initial behavior labels and Logistic Regression as the nal deployed classier, with extensible support for other models. Backend ML logic is decoupled from the UI.
      • Visualization Engine: Chart.js-powered frontend enables intuitive visualization of trip metrics and trends.
      • Feedback Module: Generates performance and safety suggestions, exportable as CSV or PDF.
    2. Data Collection and Preprocessing

      The analytical core comprises seven heterogeneous datasets, covering diverse vehicle types and driving styles. The data pipeline includes:

      • Cleaning: Detects and removes missing values, inconsis- tencies, and outliers.
      • Harmonization: Standardizes schema across datasets, unifying variable names and formats.
      • Feature Standardization: Applies z-score normalization to align different value scales (e.g., speed vs. acceleration).
      • Centralized Storage: All cleaned data is stored in an SQLite database optimized for analytical queries and dashboard rendering.
    3. Feature Engineering and Trip Labeling

      A handpicked set of behavioral features was derived from the cleaned data. For each trip, thirteen aggregated features are computed:

      • Speed-related features: average speed, maximum speed, speed standard deviation;
      • Engine-related features: average RPM, maximum RPM, RPM standard deviation;
      • Control-related features: average throttle position, maxi- mum throttle position, average engine load;
      • Acceleration-related features: average acceleration, accel- eration standard deviation;
      • Event-based features: number of brake events, number of speed changes.

        Additional signals such as steering angle, angular velocity, tire pressure, and GPS coordinates (where available) are used only for visualization and qualitative analysis and are not included in the machine learning feature vector.

        Label Assignment: Each trip in our project is labeled as

        Safe, Moderate, or Aggressive using a hybrid methodology:

      • Domain heuristics (e.g., thresholds for RPM, braking events, speed variability);
      • Inspection of exceptional or edge cases;
      • Optimization of the label boundaries through clustering analysis.

        After computing the trip-level features, unsupervised K- Means clustering with k = 3 is applied to selected behavior- related features, including speed standard deviation, RPM standard deviation, average throttle position, acceleration stan- dard deviation, number of brake events, and number of speed changes. The resulting clusters are interpreted by analyzing their centroid characteristics. One cluster demonstrates low variability and a small number of events, corresponding to Safe driving behavior. A second cluster exhibits moderate variability and event frequency, representing Moderate driving behavior. The third cluster shows high variability and frequent events, indicative of Aggressive driving behavior.

        These cluster-derived behavioral categories are subsequently treated as pseudo-ground-truth labels and used as target classes for training the supervised classication models.

    4. Model Development and Evaluation

      Multiple ML models were benchmarked, including Random Forest, SVM, Logistic Regression, k-NN, Gradient Boosting, Decision Tree, and Naive Bayes.

      • The dataset was split using an 80/20 stratied train-test split.
      • 5-fold cross-validation was performed on each model.
      • Evaluation metrics included accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Confusion matrices were also analyzed.
  4. System Architecture

    The architecture of the Vehicle Trip Analysis Dashboard is designed to be modular, scalable, and deployable on lightweight infrastructure. The system is divided into three primary layers, each responsible for specic functions in the data processing pipeline from sensing to visualization.

    1. Sensing Layer

      This is the data collection layer that gathers raw vehicle and location data from multiple sources. The sensing layer forms the foundation of the entire system by providing comprehensive trip data acquisition capabilities.

      OBD-II Sensor: Collects critical vehicle diagnostics includ- ing engine RPM, vehicle speed, fuel consumption rates, throttle position, brake events, and engine load parameters.

      GPS Data: Provides distance and duration information where available.

    2. Network Layer

      This layer is responsible for communication (where applica- ble), data storage, and machine learning processing. It serves as the central processing hub that transforms raw sensor data into actionable insights.

      Flask Backend Framework: A lightweight Python web framework that receives, processes, and manages incoming sensor data or uploaded logs. Flask handles API endpoints, data validation, user authentication, and serves as the primary interface between the sensing layer and data processing components.

      SQLite Database: Lightweight, embedded database system used to store comprehensive trip data, user information, and historical driving patterns.

      K-Means + Logistic Regression: K-Means clusters trip records into behavioral groups, which are then used as labels to rain the Logistic Regression classier that predicts driving behavior categories (Safe, Moderate, Aggressive).

    3. Processing Layer

      This is the visualization and user interface layer that presents processed data and machine learning predictions to end users in an intuitive and actionable format.

      Web Dashboard: Interactive web-based interface built using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Chart.js that displays compre- hensive trip statistics, behavior scores, and ML predictions. The dashboard provides post-trip visualization of driving patterns through dynamic charts, graphs, and tabular data presentations. The dashboard includes multiple visualization components:

      • Speed vs. time analysis charts
      • RPM variation patterns
      • Fuel consumption trends
      • Braking event distributions
      • Behavior classication summaries

        Fig. 2. Pipeline

      • Personalized improvement recommendations

    The current implementation operates in post-trip mode on pre-recorded logs, while the architecture is designed to be extendable to near real-time ingestion in future work.

  5. Dataset and Feature Engineering
    1. Dataset Collection and Preprocessing

      Source Diversity: Data is a strong amalgamation of seven heterogeneous telematics sources (OBD-II sensor logs, smart- phone sensor exports, and open driving behavior datasets) collected and curated over time [15][21]. Such heterogeneity guarantees a variety of vehicle types, road conditions, and driver behaviours, which supports model generalization.

      Preprocessing Pipeline: Before feeding the raw data into the pipeline, all sources are processed through a common sequence:

      • Missing Data Handling: Systematic treatment of missing values; records that cannot be recovered are discarded.
      • Deduplication & Type Enforcement: Automatic removal of duplicate and non-numeric artifacts.
      • Schema Normalization: Use of fuzzy column matching logic to harmonize disparate datasets into a unied schema without manual intervention.
      • Feature Standardization: Z-score normalization applied to all key numeric features used in ML.
      • Storage: Cleaned, consolidated dataset stored in a modular SQLite database.
    2. Feature Engineering

      For each trip, thirteen aggregated features are computed:

      • Speed-related: average speed, maximum speed, speed standard deviation.
      • Engine-related: average RPM, maximum RPM, RPM standard deviation.

        Fig. 3. Driving Behavior Parameters

      • Control-related: average throttle position, maximum throt- tle position, average engine load.
      • Acceleration-related: average acceleration, acceleration standard deviation.
      • Event-based: number of brake events, number of speed changes.

        Additional signals (steering angle, angular velocity, tire pressure, GPS) are only used for visualization and qualitative analysis, not for ML training.

        Label Assignment: Each trip is labeled as Safe, Moderate, or Aggressive using:

      • Domain heuristics for thresholds;
      • Edge-case inspection;
      • K-Means clustering (k=3) to rene boundaries.
    3. Feature Importance

      Analysis of the Logistic Regression model coefcients indicated that speed standard deviation, maximum RPM, acceleration standard deviation, brake events, and RPM stan- dard deviation are the most inuential features for behavior classication. Aggregate features such as average speed and average throttle also contribute, but variability and event-based features play a stronger role.

    4. Dataset Integrity and Expandability

    Integrity: The ETL pipeline performs strict type checking, numeric range validation, and consistency checks to ensure scientic reliability.

    Expandability: The structure is modular and allows incor- poration of future data sources (new OBD-II elds, additional telematics formats) with minimal code changes.

    and Evaluation

    1. Model Selection and Comparative Analysis

      Rationale behind Algorithm choice: Several models were benchmarked, including Random Forest, SVM, XGBoost, and Logistic Regression. Logistic Regression was ultimately se- lected as the deployed model, as it achieved the highest accuracy (90.0%) and F1-score (0.9010) on the trip-level classication task while remaining lightweight and interpretable.

      Comparison of Models:

        Model Performance Comparison

    2. Training Protocol and Methodology

      Data Splitting and Validation:

      • Split Strategy: 80/20 stratied split ensuring balanced class representation across Safe, Moderate, and Aggressive categories.
      • Cross-Validation: 5-fold stratied cross-validation for robust performance estimation.
      • Feature Integrity: Only validated leak-free features were used, excluding variables directly involved in scoring calculations to prevent data leakage.
      • Driving Dynamics: avg speed kmph, max speed, speed std, trip duration (where available), distance km;
      • Vehicle Performance: avg rpm, max rpm, rpm std, avg engine load, fuel consumed (for health/efciency rules);
      • Safety Indicators: brake events, accel std, speed changes.

    Post-training analysis of Logistic Regression coefcients shows variability and event-based features as dominant.

    1. Model Performance and Validation

      Classication Performance: The nal Logistic Regression model achieved:

      • Overall Accuracy: 90.0%;
      • Weighted F1-Score: 0.9010;
      • Weighted Precision: 0.9076;
      • Weighted Recall: 0.9000.

        Random Forest and XGBoost did not exceed 66.7% accuracy in this conguration and were not selected for deployment.

        Fig. 6. Feature Importance Illustration

    2. Hybrid Scoring System Integration

      Dual Approach: The system employs a hybrid methodology combining:

      1. Rule-Based Scoring: Interpretable feedback using weighted normalization of driving metrics (e.g., speed, RPM, brake events) to produce a 0100 risk/health score.
      2. ML Classication: Logistic Regression model for ro- bust behaviour categorization into Safe, Moderate, or Aggressive.

      Rule-Based Algorithm (template):

    3. Deployment and System Integration

      Production Implementation:

      • Model Serialization: joblib-based model persistence for Flask backend integration.
      • Fast Post-Trip Inference: Sub-second prediction latency (0.18 seconds average).
      • Scalability: Modular architecture supporting easy model replacement and retraining.
      • API Integration: RESTful endpoints for dashboard and external system connectivity.

        Quality Assurance: Thorough testing produced 100% pass rate across 23 functional test scenarios and maintained strong performance under concurrent load.

    4. Validation and Reproducibility

      Scientic Rigor:

      • Random seed controls and stored dataset splits for repro- ducibility.
      • Systematic data validation to protect against corrupt and duplicate information.
      • Stratied sampling to ensure representative training/testing distributions.
      • Exclusion of target-derived variables to prevent feature leakage.

    This end-to-end machine learning pipeline provides an efcient and interpretable solution for trip-wise driving behavior classication suitable for safety-sensitive applications.

  8. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK

This work presents an extensive Driving Behavior Analysis System aimed at improving vehicle safety and driving per- formance through post-trip telematics analysis. The system harmonizes data from seven heterogeneous sources, automates data cleaning and schema normalization, and computes inter- pretable trip-level features.

A modular machine learning pipeline uses K-Means cluster- ing (k=3) to derive behavioral labels and a Logistic Regression classier to perform trip-wise behavior prediction. Logistic Regression achieved 90.0% accuracy and 0.901 weighted F1- score, outperforming SVM (86.7%) and ensemble models such as Random Forest and XGBoost (66.7% each). This demonstrates that with carefully engineered trip-level features, a simple and interpretable linear model can outperform more complex classiers on this task.

An interactive dashboard built with Flask and Chart.js provides users with post-trip insights, including behavior labels, risk scores, detailed charts, and vehicle health recommendations. Functional, performance, and usability testing indicate that the system is reliable, responsive, and user-friendly.

Future Work:

  • Extend the architecture to near real-time ingestion for in-trip feedback while preserving interpretability.
  • Integrate contextual data such as trafc, weather, and road type to better separate driver behavior from environmental factors.
  • Explore temporal sequence models (e.g., LSTMs, Trans- formers) to capture within-trip dynamics and short aggres- sive events.
  • Expand the dataset to cover more vehicle types, demo- graphics, and geographical regions for improved general- ization.
  • Incorporate explainable AI techniques (e.g., SHAP) to provide per-trip explanations of model decisions.
