Abstract
In an effort to improve driver safety and autonomous vehicle testing, video recordings of drivers allow for data to be analyzed. These videos are first examined by human coders, but a more efficient, automated algorithm would prevent the need for human coders entirely. However, in order to build the algorithm, human coders need to analyze videos of drivers and label various actions, such as if the driver is turning or tilting their head, or hand movements, such as texting, and if their hand is obscured. Once these labels are implemented, they are tested against each other for accuracy, so that the final algorithm is unbiased enough to be implemented into vehicle safety.
