Vehicle Dynamics Approach to Driver Warning

Robinson 1 CRASH WARNING INTERFACE METRICS: EVALUATING DRIVER-VEHICLE INTERFACE CHARACTERISTICS FOR ADVANCED CRASH WARNING SYSTEMS

The Crash Warning Interface Metrics (CWIM) project addressed issues of the driver-vehicle interface (DVI) for Advanced Crash Warning Systems (ACWS). The focus was on identifying the effects of certain warning system features (e.g., warning modality) and on establishing common methods and metrics that may be generally applied for evaluating DVIs in different vehicles. The project did not have th...

Driver Adaptive Warning Systems

Each year, many preventable highway automobile accidents involving single vehicles are caused by inattention and distraction. These accidents are classified as single vehicle road departures. Lane departure and curve negotiation warning systems are an emerging technology to help prevent these types of accidents. I plan to build a road departure warning system that learns individual driver behav...

Subspace eyetracking for driver warning

Driver’s fatigue/distraction is one of the most common causes of traffic accidents. The aim of this paper is to develop a real time system to detect anomalous situations while driving. In a learning stage, the user will sit in front of the camera and the system will learn a person-specific facial appearance model (PSFAM) in an automatic manner. The PSFAM will be used to perform gaze detection a...

An integrated approach to the regulation of heavy vehicle driver fatigue An integrated approach to the regulation of heavy vehicle driver fatigue

Prescriptive regulation of hours of service is the norm for control of fatigue in drivers of heavy vehicles in most developed countries. Since the initiation of prescriptive regulation, and particularly in recent years, understanding of the nature and causes of fatigue has grown. Little of this increased understanding has yet been embodied in regulatory approaches to the management of heavy veh...
