PDB: Not All Drivers Are the Same -- A Personalized Dataset for Understanding Driving Behavior

Experiments on PDB-Traj provide reference results for personalized motion forecasting and show that driver information can improve prediction when applied selectively. It comes from a paper posted to arXiv on 20 October 2026. Driving behavior varies across individuals, yet most existing driving datasets do not preserve driver identity or control for factors that may affect driving style. We introduce the Personalized Driving Behavior (PDB) dataset, a multimodal dataset collected from 9 drivers using the same vehicle and route under comparable conditions. PDB includes data from a 128-line LiDAR, external and driver-facing cameras, GNSS, IMU, CAN-bus signals, and heart-rate measurements, with 111,060 frames of LiDAR point cloud data and more than 1.33 million images. Based on these recordings, we construct PDB-Traj, a personalized trajectory prediction benchmark with 1,309 10-second trajectory segments sampled at 10 Hz. Each segment includes the ego trajectory, surrounding-agent trajectories, and driver identity. We further introduce Gated Selective Personalization (Gate-SP), a driver-aware baseline that selectively incorporates driver identity into trajectory prediction. PDB and PDB-Traj provide a benchmark for studying driver-specific behavior and personalized trajectory prediction.
