Abstract

Recent advances in-vehicle monitoring of drivers’ statistics attempt to leverage Machine-Learning (ML)-based techniques for prediction, credited to its high accuracy and less cost for deploying redundant sensors/cameras inside the vehicle. However, existing approaches for in-vehicle ML-based predictors heavily rely on the raw driver data for processing, which mcan push the burdens on multiple components, ranging from on-vehicle devices to Internet-of-Vehicles (e.g., on-vehicle computation and storage units). To obtain a better balance between the performance and cost, we propose FIne-Grained CONstructs (FIGCONs) of collected drivers’ statistics, to further exploit its applicability. We do so by integrating it with state-of-the-art ML-based approaches to predict in-vehicle statistics. The experimental results deliver three key findings, which showcase the benefits of FIGCONs and the potentials for practical deployments of in-vehicle ML-based predictors. We hope our work can stimulate more future works and potential practices in similar manners.
