A driver-distraction-based lane-keeping assistance system
نویسنده
چکیده
Single-vehicle roadway departure (SVRD) accidents occur in many cases owing to driver distraction or drowsiness constituting a substantial share of today’s road vehicle accidents and casualties. This paper describes a distraction-based lane-keeping support system, which intervenes only when the driver is positively detected as being distracted. Distraction here is understood as cognitive and visual distraction, and the focus of this system is on the latter one. In order to estimate the driver’s visual distraction level, a video-based driver monitoring system is used. Lane-keeping support is provided by an additional torque applied on the steering shaft in order to regain an appropriate lane position. In this manner the system only intervenes when the vehicle has drifted out of its lane and while the driver is distracted. Test track investigations indicate large opportunities for such a system from a driver perspective, provided that sufficient reliability of the employed vision sensor for lane and face tracking can be obtained.

The concept of Ford’s lane keeping sys tem includes two variants: The driver can select a warning function and a lane keeping function in case the vehicle leaves its current lane, known as lane keeping alert, ❶, and lane keeping aid, ❷, respectively. Both functions make use of a camera serving as a sensor for iden tifying the traffic lane and the lane mark ings. Identifying the ve hicle’s ow...

Haptic shared control is expected to achieve a smooth collaboration between humans and automated systems, because haptics facilitate mutual communication. A methodology for sharing a given task is important to achieve effective shared control. Therefore, the appropriate cooperative relationship between a human operator and automated system should be considered. This paper proposes a methodology...

The Lane Change Task was developed to provide an objective safety criterion for the assessmentof driver distraction by in-vehicle information systems (IVIS). It consists of two basic driving tasks,namely lane keeping and lane changes. The LCT has been shown to reliably detect distractionfrom driving. As this test becomes increasingly important for the assessment of safety the validi...
