This project implements advanced unsupervised Machine Learning techniques to detect abnormal driving patterns from real-time or recorded telemetry data. It's designed as part of the "AI-powered virtual testing environments for SDVs" track, providing comprehensive anomaly detection capabilities for automotive safety and testing.
The system uses ensemble machine learning algorithms to identify unusual driving behaviors that could indicate:
- Safety risks (aggressive driving, sudden braking)
- Vehicle malfunctions (sensor errors, system failures)
- Driver behavior anomalies (fatigue, distraction)
- Test scenario outliers (edge cases in autonomous driving tests)
- Ensemble Learning: Combines Isolation Forest, One-Class SVM, and Local Outlier Factor
- Multi-Algorithm Voting: Majority voting system for robust detection
- Hyperparameter Tuning: Automated optimization for best performance
- Speed Categories: Low/Medium/High speed classification
- Behavioral Indicators: Aggressive steering, hard braking detection
- Rolling Statistics: Moving averages and standard deviations
- Z-Score Analysis: Statistical outlier identification
- Composite Features: Speed-steering ratios, brake intensity metrics
- Multi-Panel Plots: Speed vs Steering, Speed vs Brake analysis
- Time Series Views: Anomaly detection over time
- Score Distributions: Anomaly confidence visualization
- Feature Importance: Statistical significance analysis
- Missing Value Handling: Median imputation strategies
- Outlier Preprocessing: Statistical outlier removal
- Feature Scaling: RobustScaler for outlier-resistant normalization
- Adaptive Processing: Dynamic parameter adjustment
