Technical Field
[0001] The application of this invention patent is mainly used in the field of intelligent transportation for the identification and monitoring of driving behavior and driving style of automobile drivers. By combining the power generation technology of rack and pinion, planetary gear set, friction nanogenerator and electromagnetic generator with machine learning related algorithms, the rack and pinion can convert the linear motion of the accelerator pedal and brake pedal into the rotational motion of the sensor friction electric element and electromagnetic generating element. Through the electrical signals generated by the friction nanogenerator and electromagnetic generator, the relevant algorithms of machine learning are used to realize the monitoring and identification of driving behavior. This technology is of great significance to the development of intelligent transportation and traffic safety. Background Art
[0002] As the number of vehicles continues to grow, road safety issues are becoming increasingly serious. A survey shows that over 80% of road accidents are caused by drivers' aggressive driving styles and poor safety awareness. The prevalence of poor driving behaviors, such as rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration, and illegal overtaking, poses a significant threat to driving safety. Therefore, driver monitoring, including monitoring driving behavior and identifying driving styles, is crucial.
[0003] Triboelectric nanogenerators utilize the triboelectric effect and electrostatic induction to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Machine learning algorithms are used to classify and identify clustered electrical signal data. The driver's pedal control directly reflects their driving behavior and style, utilizing the high voltage of the triboelectric nanogenerator and the high current of the electromagnetic generator to monitor pedal movement. A transmission rack and pinion transmits the driver's pedaling action to the triboelectric nanogenerator and electromagnetic generator. Identification and analysis of the generated electrical signals further informs and monitors the driver's driving behavior.
[0004] A driving monitoring system based on a friction-electromagnetic composite pedal motion sensor and machine learning has broad application prospects. A new sensor and monitoring system for monitoring and identifying driver behavior has been proposed. The system features a simple structure. By utilizing a friction nanogenerator, the monitoring system is self-powered, eliminating the need for an external power supply. The three-phase electrodes in each stator and rotor also improve the sensor's resolution. The monitoring system processes and classifies the acquired data using machine learning algorithms, categorizing the driver's driving style into three categories: conservative, moderate, and aggressive. The low cost, low energy consumption, and high precision of this system make it widely applicable and promising. This system provides solutions for the development of intelligent transportation and further advancements in traffic safety. Summary of the Invention
