Recognition of Mistaken Pedal Pressing based on Pedal Pressing Behavior by using Genetic Programming

Abstract

There have been many varieties of driving assistance, and one aspect of them is the scope of emergency braking. Several researches have been analyzing emergency braking and proposed approaches to detect them. A focused but significant case is mistaken pedal pressing during emergency braking, which occurs when accelerator pedal is pressed instead of brake pedal. This paper aims to evolve a classifier to recognize mistaken pedal pressing based on behavior shown during pressing the pedals by using evolutionary computation. A driving simulator is used to collect the data, and genetic programming was used to perform the evolution.
