Multi-Feature Fusion: A Driver-Car Matching Model Based On Curve Comparison

With the development of the mobile Internet, novel things are constantly emerging, and among them, online car-hailing is one of the representatives. However, the rapid development of online car-hailing also brings about normative problems and safety loophole, the most prominent of which is the inconsistency between operating cars and registered drivers. Some existing algorithms based on curve similarity measurements, such as Hausdorff distance and discrete Frechet distance, can be used to solve this problem. However, they only consider one of the characteristics of the two curves, such as the distance or the area between two curves, which does not achieve good results on this problem. On this ground, we propose a model based on curve comparison, named multi-feature fusion (MFF), which extracts the features of length, distance, and area from the GPS positioning track of car and the application mobile phone of the driver, to testify whether the car is being operated by the registered driver and thus solving the problem of mismatch between the driver and the car during the operation. Among them, the MFF model designs different algorithms for different features and fuses different features by an ensemble learning method. The experimental results prove that the model can effectively detect the mismatch between drivers and cars.
