Abstract

Efficient driving training is becoming essential in every public transport company to achieve a safe, comfortable and sustainable performance. It includes a training process that becomes more effective if individual training necessities are faced according to each drivers’ driving habits. This research team has an efficient driving learning methodology that aims to be adaptive and is in use in many professional fleets, but initial training is the same for all drivers. We propose a system that is able to detect each driver’s strengths and flaws in efficient driving with a much-reduced amount of data and classify them in accordance, before the initial training session. The system obtains the data from remote monitoring of urban buses while drivers are on their professional duty. The distribution of drivers in groups is balanced in specific skills and number. This classification process could be considered as the starting point for skills evaluation. All drivers belonging to the studied fleet receive an adaptive basic training at the beginning of a much more complex training methodology.
