Presentation
Differentiating High Cognitive Load and Drowsiness Using Driver Performance and Physiology
DescriptionNext generation of vehicles are expected to have a driver monitoring system (DMS) that can detect when the driver is distracted, stressed, or sleepy. These systems could enable the vehicle to initiate appropriate interventions to help regulate driver mental workload. Therefore, these systems need to be able to clearly separate high cognitive load from extended periods of low cognitive load. However, some of the popular measures can follow similar patterns under these two states. The objective of this simulator experiment is to examine the impacts of high cognitive load and drowsiness on driving performance and driver physiology to explore the utility of relevant measures in driver monitoring, and to classify these two subobtimal driver states.
