A variety of multimodal menu outputs were examined in a real driving situation with respect to efficient system interaction and aspects of safety. An electronic manual served as an exemplary application. The system has been designed with the prime intention of supporting the driver in interacting orally with the system. It proved expedient to display the menu after the spoken output had ended. ...

Two experiments explored the hypothesis that distraction causes a reduced sensitivity to the physiological and sensory cues that signal when to terminate a meal. In Experiment 1, eighty-eight females ate five 'Jaffa Cakes' either while distracted by a computer game or while sitting in silence. Analysis of the difference in rated hunger, fullness and desire to eat (pre- to post-intake) revealed ...

This research applies a recently developed model of accident causation, developed to investigate industrial accidents, to a specially gathered sample of 997 crashes investigated in-depth in 6 countries. Based on the work of Hollnagel the model considers a collision to be a consequence of a breakdown in the interaction between road users, vehicles and the organisation of the traffic environment....

The causes of crashes on urban expressways are mostly related to the unsafe behaviors drivers before crash. This study focuses sideswipe collisions expressways. Through real and visual crash data, 17 were identified for analysis an expressway. chains high-risk then revealed investigate relationship between drivers’ collisions. A Bayesian network diagram was used obtain correlation their influen...

Driving vehicles has become more complex. Thus, drivers who are not engaged with any non-related driving activities, that is performing in-vehicle secondary task, unusual nowadays. Statistics also shows the higher number of crashes come from distracted driving. In addition, currently, there limited review have been done to compile and physiological method, distraction its effect on driver. Ther...

Distracted driving has received increasing attention in the literature due to potential adverse safety outcomes. An often posed solution to alleviate distraction while driving is hands-free technology. Interference by distraction can occur however at the sensory input (e.g., visual) level, but also at the cognitive level where hands-free technology induces working memory (WM) load. Active maint...

background, aim, method, result) max 200 words: Even though the crash risk in tunnels is rather lower than on the open road network, crash consequences can be very severe. Therefore it is of high importance to assure high safety standard in tunnels, which includes, but is not limited to, an appropriate illumination. The aim of this study was to investigate in which way different levels of illum...

The careless activity of drivers in logistics transportation is a primary reason inside the vehicle during road accidents. This research aims to reduce number accidents caused by failure driver incorporating an autonomous system. We propose convolutional neural network -based architecture recognize and classify different positions which cause proposed system evaluated with State Farm Distracted...

An important issue in cognitive science research is to know what your subjects are thinking about. In this paper, we trained multiple Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classifiers to predict whether subjects’ thoughts were focused on the task (i.e., on-task) or if they were distracted (i.e., distracted thought), based on recorded eye-tracking features and task performance. Novel in this study is ...
