Driver state examination—Treading new paths

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2016
A large proportion of crashes in road driving can be attributed to driver fatigue. Several types of fatigue are discussed, comprising sleep-related fatigue, active task-related fatigue (as a consequence of workload in demanding driving situations) as well as passive task-related fatigue (as related to monotonous driving situations).

An integrated device to evaluate a driver’s functional state

Behavior Research Methods, 2009
In the field of cognitive ergonomics, research on car drivers requires multimodal in-vehicle systems for recording not only driving-related behavior, but also contextual information from their surroundings. In addition, reliable information concerning a driver's functional state should be obtained.

Identification of driver state for lane-keeping tasks

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics - Part A: Systems and Humans, 1999
Identification of driver state is a desirable element of many proposed vehicle active safety systems (e.g., collision detection and avoidance, automated highway, and road departure warning systems). In the paper, driver state assessment is considered in the context of a road departure warning and intervention system.

Driver fatigue detection based on eye state

Technology and Health Care, 2015
BACKGROUND: Nowadays, more and more traffic accidents occur because of driver fatigue. OBJECTIVE: In order to reduce and prevent it, in this study, a calculation method using PERCLOS (percentage of eye closure time) parameter characteristics based on machine vision was developed. It determined whether a driver's eyes were in a fatigue

Angry Drivers: A Test of State-Trait Theory

Violence and Victims, 2005
Tested hypotheses from state-trait theory applied to anger while driving. College student drivers high in trait driving anger were compared to drivers low in trait driving anger. High anger drivers were more frequently angered in day-to-day driving (frequency hypothesis).

State-of-the-Art-Driver Vision

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1970
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Human vision is a vast field of scientific study. Although the automotive engineer does not need to know very much about this topic in depth, there are some basic things he should be aware of, particularly if he is concerned with headlights, signal lights, mirrors, the instrument panel, and the design of the ...

State motor vehicle laws and older drivers

Health Economics, 2005
After teenage males, elderly individuals have the highest per capita motor vehicle fatality rate in the United States. Surprisingly, there has been only limited work examining the effect of state motor vehicle laws on older driver fatalities. This paper uses state-level data from the 1985-2000 Fatality Analysis Reporting System to examine the effects ...

Future Drivers for State Alignments

2009
Abstract : The primary drivers for nation-state alignments have been and will remain Political Ideology and Self Interest. Over the next fifty years, Western political dominance will diminish with the constriction of global economic interdependence and the rise of Islamic fundamentalism.

Binary State Transistor Drivers

1982
The subject of transistor drivers for diode control devices is extensive enough to demand a separate volume. We do not attempt to make this chapter a complete working notebook for the driver designer, but rather a guide for the microwave circuit engineer who may be in the position of having either to fabricate an elemental driver to prove out a given ...

Effect on hasty state for driver's visual perception

2012 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety (ICVES 2012), 2012
Driver's hasty state is one of major psychosomatic states which may result in traffic accidents. This paper describes an effect on hasty state as to driver's perception by means of detecting the change of driver's useful view of field and time to perception of a moving object. Hasty state was reproduced by means of using a scenario of traffic incidents
