Driver identification has shown sustainable development in recent years in a wide variety of applications including but not limited to security, personalization, fleet management, insurance telematics, or ride-hailing. However, the current progress suffers from several challenges such as costly data collections and the need for a huge amount of data from each individual for both driver identification and impostor detection. Therefore, more novel and efficient solutions are required to mitigate the existing challenges. In this paper, we address driver identification and impostor detection tasks using driving behavior analysis of the drivers. We design a deep learning-based system architecture that analyzes windows of 30 seconds of driving data to capture the unique underlying characteristics of the individuals steering behavior based on which it further distinguishes the drivers. We also develop a novel strategy to tackle driver verification and impostor detection tasks based on the combination of the proposed system architecture and Siamese networks concepts. We map the steering behavior of the drivers into latent representations which can be later used to train a similarity function. The performance of the proposed systems is tested over a real-world dataset of 95 drivers. The evaluation results indicate that our system outperforms well-established benchmarks and baseline methodologies.
