Abstract

An example operation includes one or more of determining automatically, by a processor based on data received from at least one sensor on a transport, a driving behavior associated with an operator of the transport over at least one first period of time as the operator's normal driving behavior, determining automatically by the processor a difference between the operator's normal driving behavior and a second driving behavior currently occurring over a second period of time as the operator's current driving behavior, and in the case the difference between the operator's normal driving behavior and the operator's current driving behavior indicates the operator's current driving behavior is unsafe, automatically guiding at least one of the operator and the transport to operate the transport in a safe driving behavior.
