Mobile Phone Sensor-based Nigerian Driving Dataset to Detect Alcohol-influenced Behaviours
This paper presents a unique driving dataset collected in Nigeria via mobile phone sensors to support a machine learning model for detecting alcohol-influenced driving behaviours, with the long-term aim of integrating this model into a mobile application that encourages safer driving behaviours. Driving under the influence of alcohol is a major public safety concern, particularly in low-income countries like Nigeria, where traditional enforcement mechanisms may be limited. The proposed model le…

Attention and Risk-Aware Decision Framework for Safe Autonomous Driving
Autonomous driving has attracted great interest due to its potential capability in full-unsupervised driving. Model-based and learning-based methods are widely used in autonomous driving. Model-based methods rely on pre-defined models of the environment and may struggle with unforeseen events. Proximal policy optimization (PPO), an advanced learning-based method, can adapt to the above limits by learning from interactions with the environment. However, existing PPO faces challenges with poor tr…

A Digital Twin Framework for Metamorphic Testing of Autonomous Driving Systems Using Generative Model
Ensuring the safety of self-driving cars remains a major challenge due to the complexity and unpredictability of real-world driving environments. Traditional testing methods face significant limitations, such as the oracle problem, which makes it difficult to determine whether a system's behavior is correct, and the inability to cover the full range of scenarios an autonomous vehicle may encounter. In this paper, we introduce a digital twin-driven metamorphic testing framework that addresses th…
