• Abstract: An interpretable and scalable framework for decoding driving behaviors from multimodal physiological signals is proposed in this study. We utilize multimodal physiological driving behavior large-scale dataset comprising synchronized electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and galvanic skin response (GSR) signals. Our approach involves rigorous preprocessing followed by a domain-specific feature extraction pipeline targeting time-domain, frequency-domain, and derived physiological indices. To address high dimensionality, we employ SHAP-based elite feature selection, retaining the top 250 features to reduce computational overhead while preserving predictive power. Hyperparameter optimization for extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) models is conducted using Bayesian optimization via Optuna. Finally, a weighted soft-voting ensemble is constructed to leverage the complementary strengths of both gradient boosting frameworks. The results demonstrate that the proposed ensemble achieves a test accuracy of 80.91% and a macro-F1 score of 0.79, significantly outperforming single-modality baselines and traditional machine learning models. Ablation studies confirm an 8% performance gain over the best single modality (EEG), validating the necessity of multimodal fusion. SHAP analysis further validates the physiological plausibility of the model, revealing that the EEG contributes the majority of predictive weight, GSR and EMG features provide critical discriminatory signals for high-arousal and motor-intensive maneuvers.
