Abstract: Increasing the number of road accidents and energy consumptions are major issues in many countries. Different researchers have utilize smartphone devices in their studies due to the embedded sensors included such as GPS, accelerometer, and gyroscope in order to reduce road accidents and improve safety driving. In the past few years, different studies utilize external devices connected to the smartphone in order to increase the variety of data collected for more accurate results. This paper presents an overview on different external devices were used in the studies of driving behavior. Keywords: Driver Behavior, OBD, Wearable, Smartphone, Artificial Intelligence, IoT.
1. INTRODUCTION Increasing the number of road accidents is a major issue in many countries due to the economic and social losses caused by traffic accidents. Most of the accidents caused by the unsafe driving habits such as carelessness driving and over speeding. However, many people emerged to study driver behaviors in order to understand the causes of accidents in order to find possible ways to minimize car fatalities and improve safety driving [1]. Utilizing smartphone technology in studying driving behavior is constantly growing during the past years due to the widely availability and the high penetration of smartphones in the market. Moreover, smartphones are considered as low cost solutions which make them attractive target of researchers. Smartphone devices are suitable to collect the data due to the different types of sensors are included in the devices such as GPS, accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope which make them good alternatives of the high cost solutions in conducting the studies [2]. Increasing the popularity and adoption of wearable devices such as smart-watches and fitness trackers encouraged researchers to use them in their studies along with the smartphone due to the sensors include in these devices which give the opportunity to extract more data from the driver for better behavior understanding [3].
