No / This paper outlines the current challenges of driver behaviour modelling for real-world applications and presents the novel method to identify the pattern of usage to predict upcoming journeys in probability sense. The primary aim is to establish similarity between observed behaviour of drivers resulting in the ability to cluster them and deploy control strategies based on contextual intelligence and datadriven approach. The proposed approach uses the probability density function (PDF) driven by kernel density estimation (KDE) as a probabilistic approach to predict the type of the upcoming journey, expressed as duration and distance. Using the proposed method, the mathematical formulation and programming algorithm procedure have been indicated in detail, while the case study examples with the data visualisation are given for algorithm validation in simulation.

This thesis is a cooperation with Knowit, Östrand \& Hansen, and Orkla. It aimed to explore the application of Machine Learning and Deep Learning models with Conformal Prediction for a predictive maintenance situation at Orkla. Predictive maintenance is essential in numerous industrial manufacturing scenarios. It can help to reduce machine downtime, improve equipment reliability, and save unnecessary costs.  In this thesis, various Machine Learning and Deep Learning models, including Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Regression, Gradient Boosting, and Long short-term memory, are applied to a real-world predictive maintenance dataset. The Orkla dataset was originally planned to use in this thesis project. However, due to some challenges met and time limitations, one NASA C-MAPSS dataset with a similar data structure was chosen to study how Machine Learning models could be applied to predict the remaining useful lifetime (RUL) in manufacturing. Besides, conformal prediction, a recently developed framework to measure the prediction uncertainty of Machine Learning models, is also integrated into the models for more reliable RUL prediction.  The thesis project results show that both the Machine Learning and Deep Learning models with conformal prediction could predict RUL closer to the true RUL while LSTM outperforms the Machine Learning models. Also, the conformal prediction intervals provide informative and reliable information about the uncertainty of the predictions, which can help inform personnel at factories in advance to take necessary maintenance actions.  Overall, this thesis demonstrates the effectiveness of utilizing machine learning and Deep Learning models with Conformal Prediction for predictive maintenance situations. Moreover, based on the modeling results of the NASA dataset, some insights are discussed on how to transfer these experiences into Orkla data for RUL prediction in the future.
