A Perceptual Computing Approach for Learning Interpretable Unsupervised Fuzzy Scoring Systems

Scoring the driver&#x2019;s behavior through the analysis of his/ her road trip data is an active area of research. However, such systems suffer from a lack of explainability, integration of expert bias in the calculated score, and ignoring the semantic uncertainty of various variables contributing to the score. To overcome these limitations, we have proposed a novel perceptual computing based unsupervised scoring system. The prowess of the proposed system has been exemplified in a case study of driver&#x2019;s scoring from telemetry data. Our proposed approach yields scores that showed a higher significant separability between drivers performing responsible or irresponsible (aggressive or drowsy) driving behaviours, than the formal method of computing these scores (a <italic>p</italic> value of 3.94 &#x00D7; 10&#x2212;4 and 3.42 &#x00D7; 10&#x2212;3, respectively, in a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test). Further, the proposed method displayed higher robustness in the bootstrap test (where 30&#x0025; of original data was omitted at random) by providing scores that were 90&#x0025; similar to the original ones for all results within a confidence interval of 95&#x0025;.
