Comparison of different driving behavior data collection approaches.

Collection ApproachesAdvantagesDisadvantages

In-vehicle camera [2933],
sensors, hardware [10, 24]
Real-world driving data; high-accuracy data; Access to driver’s personal data and vehicle control dataExpensive and time consuming; Lack of data in extreme and dangerous driving condition

Driving simulator [2426]Collect drivers’ behavior in designed and controlled driving scenariosDriving behavior observed in the simulator may not always correspond to real-world driving

Traffic video [3537]Low expense; Easy to collect enormous vehicle data in a short time; Observe vehicle interaction in real traffic flowVideo extraction is challenging; No access to driver’s personal data and vehicle control data

Smartphone-based method [5255]Real-world driving data; Low expense in the smartphoneData accuracy is critical
