HeadMon+: Domain Adaptive Head Dynamic-Based Riding Maneuver Prediction

Micro-mobility has become a vital means of transportation in recent years, however, it has also resulted in a rise in traffic incidents. Timely tracking and predicting riders' maneuvers hold the potential to ensure active protection and allow for sufficient time to avert accidents by issuing timely warnings and interventions. We contend that the rider's head dynamics can provide valuable information regarding their subsequent maneuvers. Riders' traveling habits, however diverse, not to mention the rapidly varying riding environment. The above factors contribute to significant disruptions in the data source, and various micro-mobility forms further exacerbate the issue. We accordingly present HeadMon+, which predicts the rider's subsequent maneuver by examining their head dynamics, and it can effectively adapt to various riding conditions and individuals. The system incorporates a deep learning framework with an advanced domain adversarial network. By single-time pre-training, HeadMon+ is capable of adapting to new data domains, including human subjects, and riding conditions for robust maneuver prediction. Based on our evaluation, we have found that the maneuver prediction of HeadMon+ has an overall precision of 94% with a prediction time gap of 4 seconds. HeadMon+'s low cost and rapid response capability make it easily deployed and then contribute to enhancing safe riding.
