AbstractThe interaction human-vehicle, as well as driver’s behavior are subject long debated in the automotive engineering domain. Driving simulators have an extraordinary important role allowing research that would not be possible to study in real world scenarios.A driver uses his sensory inputs to obtain the required input to base his decision on. The bandwidth of the required input signal should be in accordance to the driver’s task. For simple tasks, like turning on the screen wipers or direction indicator, low frequency information is sufficient. High frequency information is required when cornering on a busy road or when driving in relatively limit situations.The optimal configuration of each sub-system remains a significant cause for debate and still poses a major challenge when considering the ability of simulators to extract realistic driver behavior. If a difference is observed between real and virtual conditions, the factors specifically cause these differences are very difficult to be explained.

This pilot study tackles the overarching need for driver-state detection through real-world measurements of driver behavior and physiology in at-risk drivers with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). 35 drivers (19 DM, 14 comparison) participated. Real-time glucose levels were measured over four weeks with continuous glucose monitor (CGM) wearable sensors. Contemporaneous real-world driving performance and behavior were measured with in-vehicle video and electronic sensor instrumentation packages. Results showed clear links between at-risk glucose levels (particularly hypoglycemia) and changes in driver performance and behavior. DM participants often drove during at-risk glucose levels (low and high) and showed cognitive impairments in key domains for driving, which are likely linked to frequent hypoglycemia. The finding of increased driving risk in DM participants was mirrored in state records of crashes and traffic citations. Combining sensor data and phenotypes of driver behavior can inform patients, caregivers, safety interventions, policy, and design of supportive in-vehicle technology that is responsive to driver state.

In the long history of subliminal messages and perception, many contradictory results have been presented. One group of researchers suggests that subliminal interaction techniques improve human–computer interaction by reducing sensory workload, whereas others have found that subliminal perception does not work. In this paper, we want to challenge this prejudice by first defining a terminology and introducing a theoretical taxonomy of mental processing states, then reviewing and discussing the potential of subliminal approaches for different sensory channels, and finally recapitulating the findings from our studies on subliminally triggered behavior change. Our objective is to mitigate driving problems caused by excessive information. Therefore, this work focuses on subliminal techniques applied to driver–vehicle interaction to induce a nonconscious change in driver behavior. Based on a survey of related work which identified the potential of subliminal cues in driving, we conducted two user studies assessing their applicability in real-world situations. The first study evaluated whether subtle (subliminal) vibrations could promote economical driving, and the second exposed drivers to very briefly flashed visual stimuli to assess their potential to improve steering behavior. Our results suggest that subliminal approaches are indeed feasible to provide drivers with added driving support without dissipating attention resources. Despite the lack of general evidence for uniform effectiveness of such interfaces in all driving circumstances, we firmly believe that such interfaces are valuable since they may eventually prevent accidents, save lives, and even reduce fuel costs and CO2 emissions for some drivers. For all these reasons, we are confident that subliminally driven interfaces will find their way into cars of the (near) future.

The proliferation of info-entertainment systems in nowadays vehicles has provided a really cheap and easy-to-deploy platform with the ability to gather information about the vehicle under analysis. With the purpose to provide an architecture to increase safety and security in automotive context, in this paper we propose a fully connected neural network architecture considering position-based features aimed to detect in real-time: (i) the driver, (ii) the driving style and (iii) the path. The experimental analysis performed on real-world data shows that the proposed method obtains encouraging results.

Abstract Goal Use driver behavior profiles to screen and index early warnings of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Hypothesis: Real-world driver speed behavior profiles discriminate mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods Sensors were installed in personal vehicles of 74 legally-licensed, active drivers (age: 65-90 years, μ = 75.85) who completed 2, 3-month real-world driving assessments, including demographic and cognitive assessments, 1 year apart (244,564 miles driven). MCI status was indexed using 8 neuropsychological tests (spanning executive function, visuospatial skills, processing speed, and memory), relevant to MCI and driving. Driving environment was indexed from state speed limit (SL; roadway type: residential, commercial, interstate) and sunrise-sunset databases (time of day: day vs. night). Models: Data were randomly split into training (66%) and validation (33%) sets. An optimal mixed effects logistic regression model was determined from validation data AUC values. Results MCI drivers drove slower with optimal discrimination (estimated for every 5 mph decrease in speeding) in 1) residential roads (SL 25-35 mph; MCI odds increased by 6% [95% CI: 2-11%]), 2) interstate roads (SL >55 mph; MCI odds increased by 14% [95% CI: 8-20%]), and 3) night environments (MCI odds increased by 7% [95% CI: 2-12%]). Conclusion Quantitative indices of real-world driver data provide “ground truth” for screening and indexing phenotypes of cognitive decline, in line with ongoing efforts to link driver behavior with age-related cognitive decline and AD biomarkers. Behavioral biomarkers for diagnosing early warnings of dementia could ultimately bolster our ability to detect and intervene in early AD.
