Abstract

This paper proposes a system for estimating the level of danger when a driver accesses the center console of a vehicle while driving. The proposed system uses a driver monitoring platform to measure the distance between the driver’s hand and the center console during driving, as well as the time taken for the driver to access the center console. Three infrared sensors on the center console are used to detect the movement of the driver’s hand. These sensors are installed in three locations: the air conditioner or heater (temperature control) button, wind direction control button, and wind intensity control button. A driver’s danger level is estimated to be based on a linear regression analysis of the distance and time of movement between the driver’s hand and the center console, as measured in the proposed scenarios. In the experimental results of the proposed scenarios, the root mean square error of driver H using distance and time of movement between the driver’s hand and the center console is 0.0043, which indicates the best estimation of a driver’s danger level.

Highlights

  • The most important aspect of safe driving is monitoring the driver to prevent the occurrence of serious accidents [1,2,3,4,5]

  • An advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) supports the automation of control tasks, to relieve the driver from manual control of a vehicle and assist safe driving [5]

  • These three infrared sensors of the center console used in the experiment were installed: at the top of the buttons that control the air conditioner and heater, wind direction controller, and wind intensity controller

Summary

Introduction

The most important aspect of safe driving is monitoring the driver to prevent the occurrence of serious accidents [1,2,3,4,5]. An advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) [1,2,3,4] is a system for achieving safe driving; the aim of such systems is to reduce the risk of a driver’s accident and assist safe driving. Such a system provides safety to the driver by obviating danger factors while driving [1]. An ADAS supports the automation of control tasks, to relieve the driver from manual control of a vehicle and assist safe driving [5].
