Abstract Driver distraction has been deemed a major cause of traffic accidents. However, drivers’ brain response activities to different types have not well investigated. The purpose this study is investigate the electroencephalography (EEG) tasks. In conducted simulation tests, three secondary tasks (i.e., clock task, 2-back and navigation task) are designed induce driver distractions. Twenty-...

The aim of this research is to develop and implement a computational model able to simulate drivers' visual strategies in dual-task conditions and to investigate visual distraction effects. The modeling approach supporting this research is based on a cognitive model of the car driver so-called COSMODRIVE, focused on mental representations simulation (i.e. situational awareness) and implemented ...

We present an automotive-grade, real-time, vision-based Driver State Monitor. Upon detecting and tracking the driver’s facial features, the system analyzes eye-closures and head pose to infer his/her fatigue or distraction. This information is used to warn the driver and to modulate the actions of other safety systems. The purpose of this monitor is to increase road safety by preventing drivers...

Distracted driving is the leading cause of road traffic accidents. It essential to monitor driver's status avoid accidents caused by distracted driving. Current research on detecting distracting behaviours focuses analysing image features using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, generalisation ability current models limited. This paper aims improve that are affected factors such as ...

Driver distraction is a significant source of motor-vehicle accidents. This chapter begins by presenting a framework for conceptualizing the different sources of driver distraction associated with multitasking. Thereafter, the primary focus is on cognitive sources of distraction stemming from the use of a cell phone while driving. We present converging evidence establishing that concurrent cell...

The traditional wiper system requires driver’s attention to switch on the wiper system during precipitation. Whereas in traffic condition, driver should not be diverted by manual adjustment of switching the wiper system which may leads to accident. Probably 80% of accidents are mainly due to distraction of driver. In this scenario we need to obtain an automatic wiping on the wind screen during ...

Many studies have documented the performance decrements associated with driver distractions; however, few have examined drivers' awareness of these distraction effects. The current study measured how well-calibrated drivers are with respect to performance decrements from distracting tasks. In this test track study, 40 younger and older drivers completed a series of tasks on a hand-held or hands...

Driver distraction is a major problem nowadays, contributing to many deaths, injuries, and economic losses. Despite the effort that has been made minimize these impacts, considering technological evolution, at wheel tended increase. Not only tech-related tasks but every task captures driver’s attention impacts on road safety. Moreover, driver behavior characteristics are known be heterogeneous,...
