abstract

driver fatigue is one of the main causes of road accidents. this study aimed to estimate bus driver fatigue through performance measures in a virtual driving environment. the study was conducted on thirty professional male bus drivers participated in a two-hour drive session. the driver subjective fatigue was assessed by fatigue visual analogue scale (f-vas) on 10 min intervals. at the same time, the performance measures of lane drifting as mean and standard deviation of bus lateral position (sdlp) were calculated during the simulated driving task. the findings presented a rising trend in subjective fatigue level with increasing the time-on-task of driving. time-on-task of driving was the most effective factor on fatigue self-evaluation. the drivers showed a significant correlation between f-vas score and sdlp. the findings revealed a strong correspondence between sdlp and driver subjective fatigue based on group mean data, but individual differences may affect the driving performance which should not be ignored in future investigation.

Driver Cognitive Distraction Detection Using Driving Performance Measures

Driver cognitive distraction is a hazard state, which can easily lead to traffic accidents. This study focuses on detecting the driver cognitive distraction state based on driving performance measures. Characteristic parameters could be directly extracted from Controller Area NetworkCANBus data, without depending on other sensors, which improves real-time and robustness performance. Three cogni...

Expertise-Based Performance Measures in a Virtual Training Environment

This paper introduces and validates quantitative performance measures for a rhythmic target-hitting task. These performance measures are derived from a detailed analysis of human performance during a month-long training experiment where participants learned to operate a 2-DOF haptic interface in a virtual environment to execute a manual control task. The motivation for the analysis presented in...

Driver fatigue and highway driving: a simulator study.

Long duration of driving is a significant cause of fatigue-related accidents on motorways or major roadways. The fatigue caused by driving for extended periods acutely impairs driver alertness and performance and can compromise transportation safety. This study quantitatively measured the progression of driver fatigue and identified the conservative safe duration of continuous highway driving. ...
